Years ago, when the cherries were sweeter and the flowers never failed to bloom, Allan Mott whored his talents to create some of the finest disposable popular paperback “nonfiction” the world has ever managed to successfully ignore.

But those days are long past.

Now Allan spends his time trying to craft that perfect first second novel that’ll give him the credibility he pretends not to crave--that is when he isn’t whoring it in the pursuit of the filthy lucre upon which the whole concept of “whoring” is based. In his spare time he works on this blog, which is devoted to his obsessive love of everything that truly doesn’t matter in this world. 

 
He calls it THE HOUSE OF GLIB
Enjoy.

Totally Worth It!

In an ironic twist, with just 30 days left before this version of The House of Glib ceases to exist, I found out that my review/analysis of Deborah Brock's long misunderstood slasher classic Slumber Party Massacre II has been mentioned, along with my name, in the liner notes of the upcoming Shout Factory DVD collection of the series.  This news comes courtesy of Rod Lott of Bookgasm (and Flick Attack) fame, who received a review copy and sent me a blurry photo of the notes in the question:

 

While I never would have admitted it out loud, I did occasionally dream of the day when I would find my name mentioned somewhere in the packaging of an offbeat genre movie I had reviewed and now, just as this blog is being reinvented in a new location, that dream has been fulfilled.

 

Totally worth it.

 

And speaking of the new blog, here's a link to the re-posted version of the celebrated review:
