I'm a geek. A nerd, a dweeb, whatever. Yes I owned garb, yes I still own medieval weaponry. And yeah, I could kick your butt in Mechwarrior the CCG. I love video games, role playing games, tactical board games and all forms of speculative fiction. I will never berate someone for wanting to be a Jedi and take everything Gary Gygax ever wrote as gospel. Well, all of this but that last bit.

Peter Straub’s A Dark Matter (book) sounds great, gave birth to this video

I’ve read a few Straub books and I’ve never been disappointed.  His newest, A Dark Matter is hitting the shelves on February 9th.   It sounds really interesting in that four high school friends each recount a supernatural event to a journalist friend of theirs, many years after.  Each retelling is a bit different from the others but all suggest that the event in question may be responsible for not only the downturns in their lives, but in the world at large.

Here’s the vid:

Here’s a bit more on Amazon.com.  If you’ve got a Facebook account, you can even attempt to win a signed copy of the book.
