Hey there, ya wanna help me out? With as many books as I have out in the world there just aren't many reviews of them out there. I am always trying to figure how to get the word out about what I do, and to get more eyes on my work and can never quite… Continue reading Wanna Read A Book?

Re-live – a poem
Too many lonely nights I think of you. I sit in the blackness of my mind and conjure you with dark magic. I call you forth from yellowed memories, like photos in the sun. You are less than a ghost, a memory of a memory, the feel of you like cobwebs along my skin. The… Continue reading Re-live – a poem
Random Acts of Cruelty
There is an unshakable feeling of horror to where American capitalism is heading. A sense we have conjured something we cannot control. A sense that on our collective tombstone, it shall read only Hubris. We have been voyeuristically watching one another live our lives and yearning for wealth thinking there is no baggage involved. I… Continue reading Random Acts of Cruelty
Toxicity
Fandom is a strange thing. It is a love for a thing or a person that can border on obsessive so that the fan wants to smother the thing or creator with their devotion. The fandom, the love, becomes more important than why it was created, what it might mean, and who made it. It’s… Continue reading Toxicity

LOVELY MOLLY – review
So this is a review for an older film. Sue me. It got some buzz when it came out but isn’t talked about a lot anymore so I wanted to talk about it a little. There’s a tragedy with horror films in that they are so disregarded unless it’s ‘prestige’ horror that when actors and… Continue reading LOVELY MOLLY – review

Too Broke To Care
Do you sometimes get the feeling that there’s a running joke that you’re not a part of and you just can’t figure out what it is? In this case, the joke is on the working class and it’s the management class and higher that’s laughing. The thing is that I don’t think it’s a particularly… Continue reading Too Broke To Care
The Spooky Chris Podcast – The Bureaucracy of Events
In which I talk about the bureaucracy of events and how the bigger an event or show gets, the more people that get involved, and the more the love of the putting it together wanes.
PARANORMAL FARM – found footage review
Man, talk about a tease! This film gives you visions of possessed pork, hellish horsies, demonic donkeys, and maybe even malevolent moo cows and all we got were clowns(!) of all things. This was made in 2017, and since that's pre-Covid I can't recall if that was during Clownageddeon or not, I think it was,… Continue reading PARANORMAL FARM – found footage review
Feast and Famine
I can’t say I ever read reviews for my books, what few there are. I can’t stomach it. I am sure it’s something I didn’t learn when I was younger, that ability to take criticism, digest it, soak up the nutrients and expel the rest. All I know is that I have always had a… Continue reading Feast and Famine
THE BOOGEYMAN – 2023 review
There is something about the darkness that is as compelling as it is repulsive. Something primal and vibrant about the fact that in that empty space of black could be anything or nothing. It is the box of possibility both full and devoid of all things. We fear the dark because it takes away what… Continue reading THE BOOGEYMAN – 2023 review
Powder Keg
It’s hard not to feel in the past few years that society has become a powder keg. We are seeing racism slink out of the shadows, bigotry be embraced by political candidates, and hate is being used as a battering ram against those that call for equality. More people are turning to violence as a… Continue reading Powder Keg
