The 40 But 10: Nico Bell
I've pulled together 40ish questions - some bookish, some silly - and have asked authors to limit themselves to answering only 10 of them. That way, it keeps the interviews fresh and connectable for all of us!
Today we are joined by Nico Bell. Nico is the author of Food
Fright and Static Screams. She is also the Editor-in-Chief for Mad
Axe Media, as well as co-editor for anthologies such as Mine: A Body
Autonomy Anthology and Publishers Weekly BookLife Best of 2024 Food
Fright: A Diet Riot Anthology. When she isn’t writing, she’s playing with
her dog, Egg. You can find her here: website | tiktok | Insta
What’s something that’s true
about you but no one believes?
I have a BS in Biomedical Engineering. It’s
kinda weird when people ask me if I went to school for writing and that’s my
answer (I did go back to school and earned an MFA in Writing). They’re like “No
you didn’t” LOL. It was one of those things where my parents influenced me to
turn from a creative field to a scientific one. I totally understand the
reasoning, and I was only seventeen when I started college, so I look back and
realize I didn’t really have the agency to speak up for myself. Still, it’s a
huge regret, probably one of the biggest I have.
What’s your kryptonite as a
writer?
Self-doubt. I don’t want to fail, so I don’t start writing. It’s a
really weird dynamic, and even though I’ve been in this industry for close to
fifteen years, I still must force myself to sit at my computer and get words on
a page. I wish I could say it has gotten easier over the years, but it hasn’t. Tight
deadlines help, but overall, it’s certainly my kryptonite.
If you met your characters in
real life, what would you say to them?
I’m so sorry.
If you could cast your
characters in a movie, which actors would play them and why?
Nothing would
make me happier in the book world than for This Cruise Sucks to be made
into a movie and for Paul F. Thompkins to play the squid. He’s an incredible
comedian, and if anyone could pull off a killer Cephalopoda it’s 100%
him. I’ll be waiting for Netflix’s call.
What genres won’t you read?
I’ve stopped reading fantasy books. I don’t have anything against them, but I
used to do book reviews for Publishers Weekly, and they gradually switched from
horror books to exclusively giving me fantasy to read. For two years, I
basically only read 500+ word fantasy, so now, I tend to pick other genres.
What’s the single best line
you’ve ever read?
“Torture is torture and humiliation is humiliation only
when you choose to suffer.” It’s from Chuck Palahniuk’s book Choke, which is
the first book I read from him and he quickly became my favorite author. The
quotes is surrounded by a bit of a, um, unsavory moment, but the line has
really stuck with me. Sometimes, I believe it to be true. There are choices in
life to help some situations be bearably, and sometimes, the choice is out of
our hands, but it’s a provocative sentence (in my opinion) that is worth
exploring.
What’s on your literary bucket
list?
I’d like to travel to the Bram Stoker festival in Dublin so I can be
with other vampires. . . Oh, I mean, so I can enjoy being around people who
love the story of Dracula.
What’s the weirdest thing
you’ve given/received as a gift?
My husband, son, and I do an “ugly”
Christmas ornament exchange every year. The weirdest one I got was this creepy
antique/vintage clown head attached to a busted-up conch shell with little legs
hanging down from it. I’m one hundred percent sure its eyes followed me around
for the whole season. A lot of the weirdest things I’ve given or received come
from that exchange, and I’m pretty sure most of them are haunted.
What’s the one thing you wish
you knew when you were younger?
All bodies are beautiful. They’re all worthy
of love and respect, and anyone who doesn’t see value in that is a fucking
asshole. If someone doesn’t like your body, it’s their problem, not yours. The
idea that only one body type is beautiful is rooted in racism, ableism,
queerphobia, and transphobia, to say the least. It isn’t just about fat bodies
getting bullied. The world doesn’t always respect people with disabilities,
people from other cultures, limb differences, skin conditions . . . the list
goes on and one, and some people will always see those bodies in a negative
light. Don’t let that stop you from living your best existence. In fact, the
thing that pisses those bullies off the most is when you are out enjoying
yourself. I wish I knew that as a child when the first time a boy called me
fat. I was in third grade. I wish I knew that every single day of my life.
Maybe I wouldn’t have developed an eating disorder (or maybe I still would
have). The wish I could tell my younger self is how much I’ll grow to love
myself, to overcome the hate, and to flourish. I even co-edited a fat-positive
horror anthology called Diet Riot: A Fatterpunk Anthology which earned
the Publishers Weekly BookLife Best of 2024.

DOUBLE IN TROUBLE
DOUBLE IN TROUBLE
By Richard S.
Prather & Stephen Marlowe
Gold Medal Giant
Copyrighted 1959
Fawcett Publications, Inc.
Second Printing 1960
286 pages
In 1960, we were a thirteen-year-old freshman in high
school. We are also a veracious reader, having been weened on comic books at an
early age. We loved reading and by that year were devouring every kind of
paperback book we could get our hands on, from the Ace versions of Edgar Rice
Burroughs fantasy adventures to the hard-boiled private eye series that seem to
proliferate the drug store spinner racks. In that genre, abided some rather
heady material for a shy, nerdy teen. Covers sporting sexy femme fatales in
skimpy attire alongside tough-guy shamus were the norm and through them we
entered the seedy world of such colorful heroes as, Mike Shane, Johnny Liddell,
Mike Hammer, Rocky Steele, Stuart Bailey and Nick Carter to name few. Our
personal favorite was Shell Scott. With his white hair and wise-cracking wit,
Scott operated out of sunny Los Angeles, California; a far cry from the mean
streets of the East Coast metropolises.
Scott was created by writer Richard Scott Prather (Sept. 9,
1921 – Feb. 14, 2007). His cases were Prather’s most successful series. He also
wrote under the pen-names David Knight and Douglas Ring. The first Shell Scott mystery, Case of the Vanishing Beauty, was published in 1950. There would be more
than three dozen to follow. Before his death, Prather donated his papers to the
Richard S. Prather Collection at the University of Wyoming, in Laramie,
Wyoming. The only thing we remember
about those .25 cent paperbacks was Scott’s wry humor and weakness for
beautiful dames.
Another private eye series from Fawcett at that time were
the Chester Drum books by Stephen Marlowe. Drum operated out of Washington,
D.C. and was a no-nonsense guy always ready with both his fists and his .45 Magnum.
Marlowe was Milton Lesser, (Aug. 7, 1928) born in Brooklyn, New York and died
(Feb 22, 2008) in Williamsburg, Virginia. Unlike Prather, his own work covered
a wider field including science fiction and fictional autobiographies of Goya,
Columbus, Miguel de Cervantes and Edgar Allan Poe. He also wrote under various pseudonyms and was
awarded Life Achievement Award by the Private Eye Writers of American in 1997.
His first Chester Drum mystery appeared in his 1955 novel, The Second
Longest Night.
Now imagine our surprise when we were looking at the latest
paperback releases on the rack when we came across a thick book with both Shell
Scott and Chester Drum on the cover. Both writers’ credits appeared under the
saucy looking redheaded painted there. We couldn’t believe it. Someone had come
up with the idea of teaming these two highly popular characters in one book
aptly titled, Double in Trouble. Naturally we plunked our .50 cents on
the counter and rushed home eager to read it. That was sixty-five years ago.
Whether we liked it or not back then, is a lost memory in time. What was cemented
into our still developing brain was the uniqueness of pairing two characters from
two successful series. At 13, it was
like Thor fighting the Hulk. Over the years we lost our copy and had forgotten
the book until, while online, some twenty years ago, we got into a discussion
with other private eye enthusiasts and the title was mentioned. We chimed in
with our recollection and bemoaned the fact that no other publisher had ever
thought to reprint such a ground-breaking book. Several weeks later, we received
a dog-eared copy of Double in Trouble in the mail. It was a gift from
fellow writer, Mark Ellis. We were extremely grateful, put it up on a bookshelf
and vowed not to lose that one. Four
days ago, at long last, we picked it up and read it again. Honestly, it was
pretty much like a first time, as we truly had no actual memories of that first
experience.
So now, the review. One would imagine writing a book where the
two stars would narrate their adventures in first person would be tricky to say
the least. How Prather and Marlowe managed it, we can only guess. Each chapter
is by either Scott in L.A. or Drum in
D.C. Both, through different circumstances, get involved via a mysterious and
beautiful woman. They are drawn mystery that revolves around a Senate
Sub-Committee investigating criminal activities in a nationwide trucker’s union.
As is typical, within the early
chapters, both are threatened by either gunfire or badly knocked around by Neanderthal-like
goons. At some point in the back-and-forth
orations, Scott learns of Drum and vice-versa. Then when the two connect on a
long-distance phone call, rather than explain their participation in the case,
each fumbles his words so as to give the other the impression they are part of
the nefarious activities the other is looking into.
Now this misstep continues all the way to the book’s last act
in which they come face to face on a stormy night out in an abandoned Virginia country
airport. A

CAPSULES OF FILM >> 07.23.24
July 23rd, 2024
What differentiates The Satanic Screen: An Illustrated Guide to the Devil in Cinema is author Nikolas Schreck used to practice the Black Arts. That granted the original 2001 edition a seal of credibility, but this new, considerable update — courtesy of Headpress — allows him to cover dozens of titles that didn’t exist, like Megiddo: The Omega Code 2, in a hilarious review that alone is worth the price of purchase. In his intro, Schreck asks, “Who the hell is the Devil anyway?” then answers with a thorough history lesson spanning the life of cinema. Yes, horror films abound, but Satan pops up in costumed dramas, British comedies, kiddie matinees, mondo docs, animation, pornography and even an “all-Negro musical” from Vincente Minnelli. From Kenneth Anger to Irwin Allen, Ingmar Bergman to Ed Wood, our writer proves to be the authority of the evil one’s vast filmography. Surrender!
Another year means another McFarland & Company publication from Roberto Curti. As prolific as he is, his subject this time makes him look lazy by comparison: cult icon Jess Franco. Co-authored by Francesco Cesari, The Films of Jesus Franco, 1953-1966 examines the works of the Spanish director from his start — his pre-OB/GYN cinema, one might say. As is Curti’s wont, each pic — from puffery like Attack of the Robots to artistic triumphs like The Diabolical Dr. Z — reliably devotes coverage so in-depth, they may as well be a submersible. What really makes this Jesús text special is how heavily it goes into Franco films we’ll never see, from his university short Theory of Sunrise, a debut “ignored” by other Franco texts, to Treasure Island, an abandoned ’64 adaptation/collaboration with Orson Welles. One Yank’s quibble: The movies are listed in Spanish, so unless you know your Red Lips from your Labios rojos, keep the index bookmarked.
I thought my own book did a decent job of mining some obscurities … then along comes Lowest Common Denominator: The Amateurish Writings of a Failed Film Critic to show everybody up on that front. Written by David John Koenig, aka “A Fiend on Film,” the self-published paperback might review as many movies I’ve never heard of as it has pages! That’s because Koenig’s tastes lean toward the Asian, underground, microindie and black-and-white crime pics as old as my grandparents. Needless to say, my Tubi list grew exponentially as I read. And read. And read! From A to Z, I didn’t miss a word and, as a result, got exposed to a whole new world.
When a movie gains a fervent, coast-to-coast cult, multiple books on it inevitably follow. That’s certainly the case with Tommy Wiseau’s The Room. I reviewed two of them a decade ago, and now it’s time to add a third with BearManor Media’s release of Accidental Genius: An Oral History of The Room. Think the world doesn’t need another? Think again. Andrew J. Rausch, whose work I love, goes deeper on the topic than any medium before him. With dozens of people weighing in, his task as curator and craftsman couldn’t have been easy, but as a read, it sure is. The anecdotes are as crazy as a Room viewer could hope for, from using Greg Sestero’s facial hair as a guide for editing the nonsensical scenes into something watchable to Wiseau’s desire to perform his sex scenes unsimulated. On purpose, Accidental’s a lot of fun, as entertaining as it is thorough — enough to make you want to exclaim in joy, “Hai, doggy!”
Enjoyed the historical aspect of Vincent A. Albarano’s recent Aesthetic Deviations: A Critical View of American Shot-on-Video Horror, but wish it also had room for reviews and interviews? Then you’re going to love Justin Burning’s Hand-Held Hell: The Outbreak of Homemade Horror. With a title like that, how could you not? Well, quite easily, were we in the hands of a poor writer, but that, Burning is not. Covering a mind-boggling 40 years’ worth of SOV projects, he gives great insight about movies I’ve not only seen (Video Violence), but seen more than once (Black Devil Doll from Hell), wish I could unsee (The Burning Moon) and absolutely never will see (August Underground). Interspersed among these 44 movies are interviews with nearly two dozen directors — including such household Hanekes as Tim Ritter, Bret McCormick and Donald Farmer — and full-color photos, all in a trade-paperback package heavy enough to challenge your wrists’ strength. For the right type of person (like you and me), this trip through Hell feels like heaven.
As someone whose film knowledge began on watching movies on UHF channels and read the Sunday paper’s TV listings supplement in full, Armchair Cinema: A History of Feature Films on British Television, 1929-1981 stirred nostalgia in this American. It’s a shame the Edinburgh University Press title costs such a pretty penny, because I suspect like minds would find it catnippy, too. Leslie Halliwell (he of the Halliwell’s Film Guide) emerges as a hidden hero as Sheldon Hall looks back at when the tube saw

Photography: Youngest Son of the Visual Arts
Of all the major artistic media, only photography appeared relatively late in the course of human history.
While people have been writing, painting, and composing music for thousands of years, they have only been taking photographs since 1826. In that year, French scientist Joseph Niépce snapped the world’s first photo (entitled ‘View from the Window at Le Gras’) at his country estate.
This website is created and run by photography enthusiasts for photography enthusiasts. Conveniently broken up into easily digestible sections, it offers a range of written and visual material on the exciting world of photography.
Two Centuries in Photos
It’s hard to believe, but cameras and photography are still less than 200 years old. In the 195 years since the camera’s invention, however, numerous men and women have achieved immortality by mastering the novel art form.
This website offers a range of excellent photo galleries highlighting masterpieces by history’s greatest shutterbugs. Photographers featured in the gallery section include Ansel Adams (1902-1984), Henri Cartier Bresson (1908-2004) and Walker Evans (1903-1975), among many others.
Contemporary Photography
But while this website is keen to pay tribute to celebrated photographers of the last two centuries, it does not dwell entirely in the past. Instead, this site also covers contemporary photographers and the cutting-edge photo technology they are using these days.
What’s more, by becoming a regular visitor to this site, amateur photographers can obtain helpful advice from their professional counterparts, from the best times of day for taking still photos to the most suitable schools to attend for a career in the field.

In Memoriam: 2015
a memorial by Steven H Silver
Science fiction fans have always had a respect and understanding for the history of the genre. Unfortunately, science fiction has achieved such an age that each year sees our ranks diminished. Deaths in 2015 included Alice K. Turner, Leonard Nimoy, Tanith Lee, Jon Arfstrom, George Clayton Johnson, Suzette Haden Elgin, Sir Terry Pratchett, Christopher Lee and Peter Dickinson.
The Blood Red City by Justin Richards
reviewed by Nathan Brazil
This is the second novel in the author’s Never War sequence, and as might be expected, picks up almost where the first book ended. Ambitiously, the action aliens and Nazis sprawl across the USA, Germany, the Greek island of Crete, occupied France, Stalin’s Russia, and good old Blighty. Once again it’s a hell-for-leather scramble between those loyal to the Third Reich or the Allies, with the alien Vril following their own agenda and playing both sides against the middle.
By Force of Arms by William C. Dietz
reviewed by Sandra Scholes
In the latest volume in the Legion of the Damned series, Booly comes back from the brink of what could have been disgrace as a hero to his men who risked their lives for freedom. Now Naa Commandos are set to protect him, yet assassins come to try and take over their encampment. The author fleshes out the characters and their lives, their doubts, loves and hopes. Booly’s rescue mission to get back Maylo gives us an idea of what kind of man he is, and what others think about him.
The Dark Arts of Blood by Freda Warrington
reviewed by Sandra Scholes
This story is separated into two parts with several smaller chapters that create an epic feel about it. These vampires seem more sophisticated than, say, the ones from a Stephen King novel. Their settings are bourgeois in their development and the characters never lose their edge. While the previous three novels have set the scene and developed the characters, this, the latest in the series, has a twist in the tale of which Sandra is very fond ever since reading Roald Dahl’s deliciously disturbing stories.
Of Bone and Thunder by Chris Evans
reviewed by Sandra Scholes
Every day the men of Red Shield have to face the Collective as they need to keep the Kingdom enemy free in Luitox. Here while they play the waiting game for their enemy to approach, we hear the war from several viewpoints during the story and many of the accounts aren’t what the Kingdom’s rulers might expect. The men are tired, hurt, stressed-out and at times bored out of their brains, and who can blame them? Their enemy is sneaky, dangerous and worthy of being feared as they never show themselves if they can help it, and they aren’t the sort of enemy who fights en masse.
The Oversight by Charlie Fletcher
reviewed by Nathan Brazil
This is the tale the last Hand; five people with supra-natural abilities, keeping the Law and Lore in an alternate Dickensian London. The Oversight was established to police and maintain the borders between the world of men and the darkly magical Sluagh. For many years an uneasy balance was achieved, mostly by mutual adherence to the rules that govern what is permitted from both sides. Then came the Disaster.
