What's blood for, if not for shedding?

Kino-running:

3. Candyman. I haven't seen this in its entirety since the theatre, where it scared the crap out of me. Now I just love it (production values and tragic 90s clothing aside). I like Tony Todd like I like my women: covered in beeeeees!

Bookkeeping:

1. Black Magic Woman, by Justin Gustainis.

Here's a tip for writers. If you are going to put in an honest-to-god, no-shit, no-really-I'm-not-kidding puppy-kicking villain, please have the common decency to put in on the first page, where I would encounter it in the bookstore. If you put it on the last page, anything else you might possibly have done right will be obliterated by my burning wrath. I read nearly 500 pages, and you pull a goddamn puppy-kicking villain on me. I am now pissed off and would like my time and $7.99 back.

Fail.

Boy, am I glad I skipped that book!

Yes, yes you are. Until that last page, I was planning to mention it as "readable in spite of itself". And then it wasn't anymore. Only I'd already read it. I find this immensely unfair.
