As I was researching for this month’s theme I was starting to realize that I don’t have a full grasp of fantasy genre lingo. So this post is mainly for my edification and to make sense of some of the terminology used. I hope others who may have experienced any confusion can find some guidance, […]
I started reading The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien during the chaotic days before Christmas and I thought that I was going to have a difficult time focusing. My anxiety was high and thoughts of an ever growing to-do list just plagued me. With tea by my side, I found that every time I came back […]
We got a smorgasbord this week! Before I get to my wrap for October and November, I wanted to touch on some of my two of my favorite elements of horror along with a favorite means of enjoying horror stories. I didn’t think these needed their own posts to explore but I still wanted to […]
*Major Spoilers Ahead!* Jason. Michael Myers. Freddy. Even if you have zero interest in horror you’ve heard at least one of these names, even after 40 years. Heck, ‘ol Mike Myers was in theaters again a couple years back. These are names that won’t go away quietly into the night. The slasher movie didn’t begin […]
I was originally working on a post for later this week and my intro paragraph became a whole page. I decided it was time to talk about why I love religion in horror and to an extension my slight obsession with cults and radical faiths. Sooooooo, here we go. As a kid I had the […]
Spooky season is here and with less than two weeks until Halloween it’s time to break out one of the most popular ghost stories in English literature.

I don’t know why or how but when I was eight years old I saw the 1990 horror movie, The Witches. It was supposed to be for kids, but the imagery and effects were so disturbing at some points that I still remember the terror I felt. Even now, as an adult, the practical effects […]
I’m shocked by how quickly this month has gone by and that October is tomorrow. Since March I have felt like time has slowed down, and I’m liking the normalcy it brings, just wish this month wasn’t so chaotic. I was able to get the reading I wanted done for my First Contact month, I […]
As I was researching first contact stories for this month, Signs kept coming up. I vividly remember seeing Signs in the theaters roughly 18 years ago and that I liked it, just not as much as M. Night’s prior movies. I had some of the same complaints that other viewers had, which is probably why […]
“It was impossible to expect a moral awakening from humankind itself, just like it was impossible to expect humans to lift off the earth by pulling up on their own hair. To achieve moral awakening required a force outside the human race.” Before I started The Three Body Problem I prepared myself for a hard-core […]
