![]() ![]() I originally purchased The Chalk Man when in released in 2018, but then I sat on it for years. ![]() Now Eddie must confront his fears and buried secrets head-on if he is ever going to be able to lay the past to rest. The chalk men have also begun to mysteriously appear. Mickey’s sudden reemergence in his life isn’t the only thing tied to the horrific events of 1986 though. He and Mickey have been estranged for years. ![]() ![]() The conversation unsurprisingly stirs up all sorts of dark memories and emotions in Eddie. Eddie, who has been haunted by the events of that year, doesn’t really want to discuss it, but when Mickey tells him he may have the answer, Eddie can’t resist. His old friend Mickey is back in town and he wants to chat about a certain unresolved murder case from 1986. Little does Eddie know he’s about due for a good old-fashioned shake-up when a blast from his past returns. It just kind of evolved into its current repetitive state. Like many of us, his life wasn’t always quite so boring however. He’s a school teacher, who lives in a big house with a younger roommate and maybe he drinks too much. Eddie lives a quiet life in the same sleepy village in which he grew up. ![]()

![]() We present popular discourse as the self-aware taking of positions, in known or imagined fields of opinion.' (Publication abstract) Jeannie Baker : Mirror,Mirror. Reviewing previous research on non-Indigenous Australians’ everyday attitudes and opinions about Indigenous Australians, we seek to replace accounts that postulate non-Indigenous thinking as a singular edifice. We propose a model of the orthodoxy that defines this field. While interviewees varied in their views about Indigenous difference, their awareness that Indigeneity poses relatively new and compelling questions for Australians was evident in their reflexive ways of talking, as they took up a position in (what they evoked or implied as) a field of non-Indigenous opinion. ![]() Rather, a more plausible reading of our data is that non-Indigenous Australians are experiencing, in a self-aware and cautious way, the ascendancy of the idea that the Indigenous/non-Indigenous distinction is culturally, morally and politically significant. 'Based on interviews with 31 non-Indigenous Australians during 2015–2017, this article argues that there is no “typical” non-Indigenous Australian way of talking and thinking about Indigenous Australia. ![]() From White Nation to White Caution : Non-Indigenous Reflections on Indigenous Difference Tim Rowse, ![]() ![]() ![]() BROKEN LANDS, the first of a new spin-off series, debuted in 2018 and was followed by LOST ROADS in fall 2020.

Del Toro is a huge Alan Moore fan, so the connection is not accidental. Now here we are in 2010 and we are finally getting ready to release.
