When we’re kids we don’t understand the concept of nuance. We don’t get that the world is made up of gradients of gray and is rarely black and white. We need that black and white though, need to learn first that there is a difference between acts that are good and acts that are bad. … Continue reading Nuance

The Spooky Chris Podcast – Horror Updates
In which I talk about going to horror cons and seeing some newer horror movies. Theme by Ross Grimson https://spookychris.com/haunted-bookstore/
Gun Runner

There’s a scary… Continue reading Taking Our Art Away
