Dexter Early Cuts: All in the Family

Kudos to Showtime for releasing animated tales from the Dexter universe between seasons. Here's a link to the Dexter: Early Cuts cartoon series on youtube (with voiceover by Michael C. Hall himself). All the Dexter webisodes are also available on the Showtime website. Here's the first chapter of "All in the Family": I've become quite smitten with the Dexter series of late, and have been rewatching the entire series, sharing my thoughts on Twitter as #DexterNotes. Also available here at gorelets.com in The Nest.

Dexter Notes

I've been a longtime fan of the Dexter series on Showtime, and a new season (#7) is going to begin in about a month. I unfortunately don't subscribe to Showtime, having caught it through Netflix and Amazon Video on Demand in the past. But last month I picked up the entire run of the whole series (when I spotted it as a blu ray deal of the week on Amazon) and have begun watching it all over again, deliberately, studying this serial killer series for whatever new observations I can make the second time around and to uncover any lessons…

Bizarro Reading in Morgantown

I drove out to Morgantown, WV to see the Raw Dog Screaming Press reading event -- sponsored by the Morgantown Poets society -- for stalwart "bizarro" writers and old friends John Edward Lawson and D. Harlan Wilson. This event marked the official print release of Lawson's new book, SuiPsalms, which he introduced by announcing the number for the Suicide Hotline and explained that his book fell in with a new genre he hadn't been aware of until he started writing the book, Suicide Poetry (example here). D. Harlan Wilson read a hilarious excerpt from the tongue-in-cheek Hitler: The Terminal Biography.…
