“How extraordinarily dull, Edith thought. Oh, dear, I'm only twenty-four; and it appears that I'm already a crotchety misanthrope.”

found a cheap copy on amazon and ordered it today.
Surprising there’s only 1 tie-in book considering the size of the fandom and how much said fandom loves to read. And Nancy Holder is a great writer.

'Moonstone Double Shot' Book Review By Ron Fortier
New Post has been published on https://esonetwork.com/moonstone-double-shot-book-review-by-ron-fortier/
'Moonstone Double Shot' Book Review By Ron Fortier
Tumblr media
MOONSTONE DOUBLE SHOT Edited by Joe Gentile Featuring – The Green Hornet & Kolchak By Nancy Holder & Johnny Dollar By Tommy Hancock Moonstone Books 55 pgs
Recently Moonstone Books has started publishing new short Green Hornet prose adventures by various New Pulp scribes in small booklets. Each features a GH tale backed up by a second story featuring another pulp character. In this edition, that is radio investigator Johnny Dollar.
Nancy Holder’s GH story, “House of a Thousand Screams” is fun in that a young reporter named Carl Kolchak shows up at Sentinel publisher Britt Reid’s office looking for a job. He tells read that if given a chance, he’ll uncover the identity of the Green Hornet within two weeks. As this develops, Kolchak also discovers murder at a rundown amusement park and actually ends up working GH and Kato to capture the bad guys. Again, lots of fun.
Then we have Tommy Hancock’s Johnny Dollar story “The For Jenny Matter” about a murdered young woman who worked as a secretary in the police station. At first it appears she is just another victim of a twisted serial killer, but things aren’t what they appear to me and slowly Dollar begins to suspects the real monster is someone he knows personally. This is by far one of Hancock’s best works and the ending is powerful in so many emotional ways. Look for this to get award nods at the end of the year.
All total a little book that packs a solid punch. Way to go, Moonstone!

Women of the Night by Various Authors
Women of the Night by Various Authors
Women of the Night by Martin H. Greenberg My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is a short story anthology featuring many famous authors all with the theming of strong female vampires. Each story takes place in a different place, with different narrators, different characters, and different theming. Stephen King has the first short story and of course it’s a continuation of ‘Salem’s Lot. I’ve also read…

for a group of people that like to say "this is a sci fi show, why are you so hung up on realism 🙄" y'all sure seem to harp on about and get hung up on finn's weight and your assumptions about his physical strength waaaay more than the duffers do when they're writing for mike's character but i'm 😴😴😴

When you reread a book and grow attached to three of the characters (who're all side characters), and they all are dead by the end of said book.

I think the strongest direct Ryuji parallel is just that RGGJo is also a There Can Only Be One Dragon-type bitch. But I honestly don't think it chafes him for the same reasons as Ryuji lol, because there's also the element of Ichi "copying" his design and "doing it better" (in a meta sense, on account of Horitomo handling his tattoo but not RGGJo's.) It's a fun callback and good set-dressing for what amounts to two sons squabbling for their dad's approval.
It's kind of fun to think about for real though, because in Ryuji's RGGO story, the Arakawa Family are tasked with assassinating Ryuji. And Jo's all ready to go but Arakawa makes the crucial decision to assign Ichi to the job instead. While Ichi does Empty An Entire Clip into Ryuji and it's badass as hell, he's also nice enough to get him immediate medical attention, which Jo wouldn't have been. Wild that Ryuji would be dead long before K2 if Jo and Ryuji really had met at that time.
Outside of that... perhaps a hot take... but I think Ryuji would be RGGJo's "type." Because the instant he meets Kagami (Tendo's counterpart, whom I personally prefer to Tendo himself lol) they hit it off. By which I mean RGGJo was blatantly flirting with him and batting his eyelashes going "Oh, you wouldn't want to fight little old me, I'm delicate." And, you know, Kagami's supposed to be The Ryujicore Guy, sort of in the vein of Watase in Y5 but even more so.
And I think the reason they get along so well--they, as "old-fashioned" yakuza, value strength above all else within other yakuza--is also something that transferred to Y7Jo, if his monologue in The Eye Scene is anything to go by. So that's perhaps another parallel with Ryuji that originated with RGGO, although Majima and some others are the same way, so perhaps not.
That's definitely the strongest connection between RGGJo and Ryuji, it's an aspect I was immediately able to pick up on when I was first reading through RGGO (and again, it is really funny from the lens of Ichi and Jo being bickering brothers just pointing at each other and going 'I did it first, you copied me!' and whining to dad about it lmao)
Ryuji's penchant for escaping death's pretty funny (if we want to count him surviving in Dead Souls as canonical, this is twice now): bless Ichiban for reserving his right to kill so we could at least meet Ryuji first (though now I can't help but to imagine Ryuji as some heinous beast they've been tasked to hunt down. I guess Ryuji being so large and having a fur coat doesn't help get rid of that imagination: Arakawa Family hunting trip anyone?).
SPEAKING of unmissable Ryuji traits in RGGO, Kagami was ESPECIALLY an absolute slap in the face for RGG to be like 'hey you guys remember Ryuji'. I almost laughed seeing him, but I didn't hate him of course, I was just surprised they really introduced a character so objectively inspired by Ryuji. I think you're onto something though: they could definitely click if given the chance (and now I do wonder what would have happened if RGGJo was sent to kill Ryuji instead…).
#long post#holder until i think of a tag for these asks#snap chats#i was going to include this in the main body but i thought i might have started to veer off Elsewhere#but in regards to the respect to strength and hierarchy while its true many characters possess that adherence to it#it feels as though ryuji's is the most prominent- at least in the strength aspect. esp with how physically large he is#like mine and nishiki react with violence because of personal reasons (yumi's sister being killed/daigo being insulted)#meanwhile ryuji acts with violence mostly because he sees someone as an inconvenience#tho with sengoku i suppose it was personal.. and to his credit daigo was the one swinging fists first for him to respond#i guess ryuji just has more opportunities to react with violence lmao#all in all i guess it's not strictly a parallel to ryuji- the most i can say is that jo is similarly shown to be more outwardly violent#on that note. completely jumping to a different paragraph in this ask.#all i could be reminded with the kagami paragraph was that 'i'm just a little birthday boy' post ☠️☠️#same energy..#but man what IF RGGJo and ryuji got to meet. definitely a fun What If to think about#in any case ive also got myself laughing at the idea of a hunting trip with ichi and jo now#if ichi cant bring himself to kill nancy after getting attached to her i just wanna know how he'd do with like. rabbits.#not saying im any better no i could never but i'd still want to see it LMAO
