Decided to put my region 2 player to work so I got the 2015 and 2016 G1 Climax and Wrestle Kingdom 11 DVDs, and the Keiji Muto retirement tour Blu Ray set. Some new hats and a couple of gift cards, too.

Pretty modest.
I got Street Fighter 6 for PS5, Outlaw Star complete series, Halloween 6/H20/Resurrection on one disc (mostly asked for it for completionist reasons, though indo have a soft spot for 6), some books from Wrath James White and Bryan Smith, a Junji Ito collection and a lot of chocolate. Also apparently getting a copy of Appetite for Destruction but it was late and my mom hasn't gotten it yet. Supper was amazing and I ate entirely too much, had a wonderful visit with my family.

Which WJW books ya get? I need to read more of him. It's a short fiction collection called "The Ecstasy of Agony". I have a few of his other books. Wrath is great. He's every bit as brutal and disturbing as Edward Lee or Bryan Smith, but he's a way better writer than they are and doesn't have those layers of try-hard BS that get in the way of a lot of other splatter punk writers.

He was one I discovered when I got Succulent Prey for a buck. Back when you knew if you saw a horror fiction book with the Leisure logo on it it was worth the few bucks it cost. Lee is decent but can half ass a book sometimes. Brides of the Impalor is one where he half assed the book.

Lee is decent but can half ass a book sometimes. Brides of the Impalor is one where he half assed the book. see I liked Brides of the Impaler. the one book of his I have I really DONT recommend is The Bighead. its his first novel and it SHOWS. superfluous subplot about a couple serial killers so one dimensionally evil and so stereotypical you'd understand if rednecks found them offensive. the main villain is ANOTHER inbred redneck freak who has entire chapters told from his perspective in an impossible-to-read dialect that, again, youd understand if rednecks found it offensive. and probably the biggest stupid asspull of an ending I'd read in a good long while lol. I had no idea how this was the same guy who wrote Flesh Gothic.

Read The Bighead and it is big cheesy fun. Brides for me just felt like an unfinished script that got published.
Found out I got a package waiting for me at the house. Betting it is the comics she ordered and didnt make it here in time.
