Josh Plainse

Some grew up with a light switch at the bottom of the stairs—when they flipped that switch to the off position, they were shrouded in darkness. To evade all that goes bump in the night (or just Chucky from Child’s Play), these intrepid spirits sprint up those stairs like Jack Nicholson leaving AA. This is how Josh Plainse writes: caffeinated, fearful, and with just enough of a chip on his shoulder to make it (or so he hopes). He received a B.A. in English from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and is an avid reader and watcher—passionate about everything from Cheers to Game of Thrones. While he found the final season of GoT and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker disheartening, he’s accepted the fact that sometimes things just suck.

No, that is not real brick.
