The new galleys from Mongoose were waiting for us when we got home last night and they're great. There's a minor issue with the SP cover - which was totally our fault and easily rectified - but otherwise they're good to go. The bindings are strong, the interiors are crisp, the art and tables are gorgeous, and the annoying text issue we had with the last galley set is gone. Huzzah!

Caught Hatchet over the weekend. I'm tossing it in the same category as Deep Rising and dubbing them "retrogore," or possibly "slashback horror" or "sticky, steamy mass mutilation porn." Both movies are so 80s it hurts. That's a compliment, but also a warning. I want this movie to succeed, but no one should go see it without knowing what they're getting into. It's schlock gristle-grind at its best.
