My New Novel RUMOR
By E.C. McMullen Jr.
My new novel is also my first novel. Like most comics, artists, musicians, or writers, I began with the riffs of those who came before. In this case, RUMOR is my modernization and extension of H.P. Lovecraft's The Statement Of Randolph Carter. Lovecraft wrote so many stories that ended on a cliffhanger, punchline, many were described as "fragments". Many of those fragments were finished by other authors after Lovecraft's death. Lovecraft's The Statement', hat left me wondering,
"But what happened next?"
RUMOR is my What Happened Next.
I'm already preparing for two more books to end on a trilogy, and like Lovecraft himself, I'm moving forward by creating my own monsters, not borrowing from anyone else (at least, not that I'm aware - there is little new under the sun ...
... or beneath the surface).
Monday morning on a crisp October dawn, Professor R. Carter was found wandering, disoriented, near death, on the outskirts of Big Cypress Swamp.
Since the weekend, missing person reports from Houston towns and suburbs spiked to unprecedented levels. Strange animals were seen wandering near the edges of neighborhoods and all bordering the swamp.
Carter was the first, and only one of the missing, who returned.
To Police Psychiatrist Iris Scanley and Det. Alex Mezo, the only thing more unbelievable than Carter's witness statement was the madness growing all around them.
"Whatever is happening, its moving toward Houston."
As a panicked city tipped toward anarchy, everyone had a theory, but Scanley and Mezo were unaware that they had only hours to uncover the facts beneath the rumor.
Rumor: People are Dying to know the Truth.
RUMOR is available in Hardcover, Paperback, and Kindle (free to users of Kindle Unlimited).

AVENGERS ENDGAME is 5
It's almost breathtaking how fast and nearly complete the box office power of DC and Marvel Superhero movies were wiped out by their own studios. Only DC's BATMAN and Marvel's SPIDER-MAN and DEAD POOL appear to stand above the fray, and that's not a given.
Stan Lee couldn't make it to the end of the first MCU story arc, but his parting gift was more than enough for Marvel fans. Even if Marvel comics go under (which seems given) and Disney destroys the brand (already in its final death throes), we ended on a genuinely earned emotional high with AVENGERS ENDGAME.

IDENTITY is Legal Drinking Age
The only problem with this movie, is that it is a great story that goes, wonderfully, all the way to a great ending.
But then someone in the pipeline thought that an extra five or so minutes of more movie should be shot, then stapled on to that great ending. Like, y'know, so it could set up a possible sequel.
That wished-for sequel, entirely unecessary, never happened. But that poorly grafted extra five minutes was a loud wet sloppy fart that wiped itself on the jewel of the otherwise great Horror movie that is IDENTITY.
