Need a dose of cute? I think we all do. YouTuber JKK Films has taken a clip from the upcoming movie Godzilla vs Kong and added Wayne to the mix, a pretty black kitty.

Alan Baxter’s ‘The Gulp’ Is A Terrifying Journey That You Won’t Forget
Characters I love the characters in these stories. It is shocking how well author Alan Baxter not only creates characters, but makes each one unique, and makes each one fit perfectly in their individual stories. From a somewhat cantankerous truck driver to shadowy rock stars to desperate drug dealers, each character is incredibly strong. However, the strongest character is the town itself. Gullpepper (locals call it “The Gulp”) is a mysterious, haunting place that feels alive in its own right. Baxter has built a whole mythos around this town and area. He has set it up as a character and a place of both magic and horror. Plot “Gulpepper is just… different…the place has a habit of swallowing people.” Each tale is a strong story that not only lives on its own merit, but builds with the other stories like building blocks that create the anthology of horror that is The Gulp. I won’t go through each story individually, but

Serial Box Presents Justin C. Key’s ‘Spider King’ Audiobook
In Spider King, Darnell is trying to focus on the future. He’s been in and out of jail before, and this time, he doesn’t want to waste a second of his freedom. Adjusting to life beyond the walls of his prison cell is full of aches and pains, such as making amends to his wife, Ashleigh; connecting with Kaylee, the daughter who barely remembers him; and getting a steady job that keeps their finances afloat. And then there are the scars forming all over Darnell’s body, ever since his release. Because Darnell did more than earn his freedom— he bargained for it, by agreeing to participate in an experimental injection that, unbeknownst to him, has caused mutant spiders to grow beneath the surface of his skin. They want their freedom, too. Terrified by his body’s transformation—and determined to keep it a secret— Darnell struggles to control the cluster of spiders. But when his daughter becomes exposed to the truth, Darnell will
