Na Roma antiga quando um general desfilava em triunfo, atrás dele um escravo sussurrava ‘Respice post te. Hominem te memento‘. Este costume devia ser adaptado aos dias de hoje porque a estupidez e a maldade está em crescimento exponencial e vida é menos do que dois dias.

Curious about how to use a book, facts, safety? If you are, buy one. If you can’t buy a book you don’t need to steal; you can always ask for someone to borrowed one or, yes… fascinating, you can go to a library.
I know someone that can give you some advice and tips: Poppet.
If you really really want to read a novel and can’t afford it, ask the author for a review copy. This a trade where you review the novel when you’ve read it. To review a novel, post a review on Goodreads, or where you would normally buy it, Amazon / B&N / Kobo / iTunes / bookstores with websites which allow reviews – and if you have a blog review it there too, or share it with your Facebook friends, letting them know about the book and why you needed to read it.
You don’t have to give it 5 stars and say you loved it, if you didn’t. Just be honest, but leave a review as payment to the author for the novel
You can get free books on Amazon every day of the week, hundreds of them. *don’t steal books*.
Amazon have a lending library, join the lending library, or even better, ask your local library to stock it – they stock eBooks too!

Já está comigo a minha cópia do livro Unger House Radicals de Chris Kelso, e com ilustrações de Shane Swank. A edição está a cargo da Crowded Quarantine.
É uma excelente edição. A leitura deve ser sumarenta.
MY REVIEW…
Who says Chris Kelso don’t throw wild parties?
unger house radicals
First: It’s complicated to describe how good this book is without sounding sociopath.
Second: I don’t do synopses.
Third: Unger House is a character per se; that has memories – “I am always the reluctant accomplice.” – and this is really shocking. See no evil hear no evil, bullshit!
Chris Kelso is an author able to offer without any complex a gripping, disturbing and claustrophobic story. He doesn’t need special effects to make things work. Many can feel that his writing is too cruel, but it is this characteristic that gives us a constant appetite, and thus he does carving in the flesh and bones of the pages.
Under House Radicals is able to maintain the thrill equation until the last moment and beyond. It’s not an easy book, to be certain! Unger House Radicals doesn’t have morality concerns… perhaps, or maybe not, because it feels really scary.
In Chris kelso’s book we dont’ have a bang, bang lay down you are dead (make-believe, no!); we do have suffering, chills; yes dude, and now it’s too late… too late: numbness is the feeling for the win.
One of those books that crucifies the mind: insane, bizarre and so fucking crazy! Yes, I’m addicted to Chris Kelso books.

Sinto que tenho de dizer alguma coisa iluminada; que quebre a monotonia do quotidiano. Uma frase cheia de sentido, cruzamentos e becos. Algo que me mime. Algo que se entenda. Algo que seja confuso. Algo que me permita dar uma gargalhada e espirrar alguns saudáveis perdigotos.
Acho que mereço… Aqui vai:
Como a estupidez não traz data de validade, para verificar a sua qualidade, coloque a pessoa dentro de uma piscina com 3 metros de profundidade. Se a pessoa for ao fundo, não está contaminada por salmonelas.
– Tens a certeza de que estás melhor? – perguntou. – Estou ótima neste momento – respondeu Pilar. – E o momento é a única altura em que podemos estar ótimos.

Maravilhoso! Assustador!
sinopse
O Sol já brilha no céu, dando ao cinzento do mar o seu tom avermelhado. Os abutres secam as asas ao vento. Cheira a queimado. O dilúvio seco, uma praga criada em laboratório pelo homem, exterminou a humanidade. Mas duas mulheres sobreviveram: Ren, uma dançarina de varão, e Toby, que do alto do seu jardim no terraço observa e escuta. Está aí mais alguém? Um livro visionário, profético, de dimensões bíblicas, que põe a nu o mais ridículo e o mais sublime do ser humano, a nossa capacidade para a destruição e para a esperança.

BLACK SCAT REVIEW # 15 – More Utter Nonsense foi publicada. Tem uma história minha e dois desenhos (rabiscos).
Stick your fingers in this pie and discover words and pictures by an international web of contributors: Edward Ahern, Paulo Brito, Giada Cattaneo, Norman Conquest, Charles Cros, Falconhead, Farewell Debut, Jkaki M.S. Landgrebe, Michael Leigh, Jason E. Rolfe, Mercie Pedro e Silva, Doug Skinner, and Carla M. Wilson.
This full color, perfect-bound paperback is packed with 78 pages of 100% pure, unadulterated utter nonsense as you’ve never seen before.
The Mediterranean is a liquid road connecting places and people. Ships, words and stories travel on its waves. Sometimes fantastic creatures, hidden in the hold. The Mediterranean speaks many languages; some of them we don’t recognize anymore. They are ancient, but never really dead. This speculative fiction anthology collects twenty-four pieces of fiction and poetry, new and old, and some things that are in between, because we don’t believe in boundaries. It gathers Mediterranean stories with a horror twist and horror stories with a Mediterranean flavour—caring sea monsters, still dripping and briny; brave mermaids, merciless ghosts and bizarre creatures—in nine different languages and many different styles.
Future Fire
Following the request made by Rhys Hughes to draw a Minotaur there is my nonsense version.
