Our Cover Story

Posted on February 5, 2020 by Chris Ringler

So when I took the photos I am using for the cover of TATTERED TENTS I was shocked that I managed to find such a thing in the wild. I was out at a hobby store and was looking at a little display they had and saw it…a headless woman in a lawnchair just living her best headless wife life.

I loved it.

I snapped two pics.

As I was putting the new book together I had to figure out a cover. It was out of season to try to get pics of a carnival or fair and that was the vibe I wanted and need. Atop that, I want to use my own art for about five different reasons, the least of which not being that I prefer to control the full product.

I remembered the headless photo.

It was perfect.

I love this book but man alive do I love this cover even more.

My fave cover for any of my books.

The book will be available on Friday, March 13th, 2020.

POPULATION ZERO – found footage review
OK, OK, OK. It’s a fake documentary, as FAUXumentary, if you will. And it’s not a horror film. Not to ruin any sort of mystery for you but it’s better if you know going in or you will spend the entire film wondering what will happen to spookify it all. It’s not there. This isn’t… Continue reading POPULATION ZERO – found footage review →
It Just Doesn’t Matter
Do you sometimes get the feeling that it just doesn’t matter? In the whole the big old largeness of EVERYTHING but then also closer to the ground, things like the January 6th hearings and, for folks like me in Flint, the quest to punish people over the water. That none of it really matters. It… Continue reading It Just Doesn’t Matter →
They Just Don’ Wanna Work
Another chestnut I love hearing these days is how ‘they’ don’ wanna work. You hear it a lot from business owners wringing their hands at people ‘not wanting to work’, the implication being these people, whomever they are, are both lazy and taking advantage of the system. This has been a familiar refrain for years… Continue reading They Just Don’ Wanna Work […]
HOWARD’S MILL – found footage review
File this under – Movies that seem ‘real’ but aren’t. This isn’t real. There, that’s out of the way. As I have mentioned before, there is a very subtle art to making ‘fauxumentary’ / ‘mockumentary’ films. You have two masters to serve, the documentary, and the fictional film. In the end, you are making a… Continue reading HOWARD’S MILL – found footage revi […]
Enough Is Enough.
I really have to ask this, knowing that there’s not an answer I will get, or that any of us will get that will make a lot of sense but why do we continue to let documents written by people who have been dead and gone for hundreds and even thousands of years rule us?… Continue reading Enough Is Enough. →
Oh, Hey, It’s Tubi!
Ya know, I have to admit that I was very, very late to the Tubi game but man alive, I am all in now. Tubi, for those who may not know is a free streaming service (owned by a bigger entity, thus allowing them to exist) that allows you to stream movies for free. We… Continue reading Oh, Hey, It’s Tubi! →
Effects
I consider myself lucky in my dealings with Covid-19. Considering how many people lost loved their lives, lost loved ones, or lost months to illness I got lucky. It hit my family hard, to be sure. My infant daughter brought it home from daycare and when she started projectile vomiting it had to have taken… Continue reading Effects →
Beacons
I always find it interesting, how people who face no loss of their rights always seem to pop up when they are being taken away from others to say – well gee, it doesn’t bother me. The room oooohs, and ahhhhhs because, boy, that’s a revelation. Imagine that, someone who doesn’t have to face the… Continue reading Beacons →
Dashcam – found footage review
REVIEW! Hey you, it’s a review. I don’t rhyme often, until I do. That totally ties into this movie and this review. I SWEAR IT! Anyway. There are movies that are sit down, think about, contemplate, and question your life movies. Those are great. They are amazing. They open your mind to the world around… Continue reading Dashcam – found footage review → […]
Next. – a blog
Next. That’s what it’s felt like for me over the past few months, maybe couple years. NEXT! I have written a LOT over the past couple of years. I have written, maybe five books, put out about four, or more. I dunno. I could look but don’t WANNA. As of yesterday the newest book is… Continue reading Next. – a blog →
