Sangronas! Un Lista de Terror: 2* I really struggled to finish this one. The worldbuilding might be interesting, but there's little of it. Written in 2nd person, which isn't my preferred pov. I'm giving a star for representation (the narrator is trans and either native or latina, I believe), let's say.

A Stranger Knocks: 3* In 1929, a young woman Judy and her husband Alvin are hired to drive around with the filmmaker Cartier using the car of the professor they are house-sitting for. The film is hypnotic, Cartier is a sort of vampire. Judy bargains for Alvin's life, but they will have to remain in his employment for a while.

Scalzi on Film: 20th Century Cinematic Science Fiction Starter Pack: A good list, I've seen most of them, but I'm not interested in seeing the ones I haven't seen yet.

A Menu of First Favorite Meals: 4* Two sisters reconnect through food while one is rewiring her brain in a new body after being an ambassador to the aliens for a few years. It's good. I wish we knew more about the aliens, but it's still good.

Festival of Scales and Teeth: not rating poetry. I thought the characters were fishes, but there is a mention of being drunk and I don't know anymore.

The 6% Squeeze: 3* Miles is a (graphic designer?) charged with designing the packaging of a mug featuring the licensed character Mr Zeb. The style bible has to be followed exactly, but the only way he can do it is by squeezing the character by 6%. A few weeks later, he is called into the office, where Mr Zeb is exacting revenge on Warren, his supervisor, for the mistake. Creepy.
