The closest as we’ll ever get to Richard Matheson’s I AM LEGEND, apparently. Enjoy.
ASSORTED LINKS FOR OCTOBER’S END
THE NEW IMPROVED AVATAR TRAILER, oh god…
You know, I will go to the fucking mat for James Cameron. And I think it’s pretty obvious that I’m a vocal proponent of the “big essential story told with powerful, almost primitive strokes.” But this new trailer… Jesus. Why, Lord, why? Why the cringe-inducing clichés? It should be [...]
EXIT VECTOR, FROM THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR: “Five Semi-Cool Things I DIDN’T Do With Frost”

1. Saint Frost was going to be Saint JANE… as in, JANE AUSTEN! This was never actually a real possibility. But I did kick it around for half a day or so. When I started this nonsense back in May, the “big book” at the time was Pride [...]
EXIT VECTOR, WOVEL UP: “Fury”
•
“The Nox Golgoth thinks I won’t follow it there,” Trista said as she urgently began dressing her wounds. “It thinks it won’t leave a path through the Shift Eldritch a mile wide! It thinks—ARGHGH!”
The veins in Trista’s neck bulged as she wound a long strip of cloth around her stomach. She pulled the knot tight.
“It [...]
MOTÖRHEAD: IRON FIST!
Can’t talk. The Triffids are mounting a spirited assault. In the meantime, listen to this!!! Not bad to look at, either. I just wish the girls in the front could have summoned an iota of enthusiasm…

EXIT VECTOR, Secret Origins 1: “Memento Mori”
•
Character design for Mori by yours truly, from around 1987… Except her name was Ellen. And the story was called Rage for Order. (Ha! Rage for Order…that sounds apt for Exit Vector.) But it’s strange, man! Ancient shadows and impulses and shapes that never saw the light of day but never went away, either. Trust [...]
EXIT VECTOR: The View from My Keyboard, Every Week, Every Damn Deadline, Every Damn Time…
•
…while the poor audio-input endures:
“Wovels… wobble… but they don’t… fall down… yeah… weevils… wovel… but they don’t….”
“And the dark putrid foul awesomeness that was the noxious shroud of EVIL known as the dreaded Nox Golgoth intoned in a terrible voice vox for all the cosmos to shudder and tremble, ‘EUERR, EUERR, EUERR…’”
“What, what?! Fatal system [...]

I love it when the streams converge… Yesterday I gave the Exit Vector readers the heads up that our heroes would be returning to the Shift Eldritch, the corridor between life and death. Imagine my surprise and pleasure upon learning that my niece, the excellent travel writer Alexandra Pecci, has an [...]

•
No time for a “real” post, I’m afraid. Just a random confession/thought, a bullshit wimpy “mainstream” link…
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been fascinated by Near Death phenomena, on every level: neurologically, medically, spiritually, metaphorically, the works. On Tuesday our EV heroes embark on a return trip to the [...]
