Every year around about this time I sit down and try to give my own thanks to all the people in my life and look back on the year that was. Welcome, friend, to 2011’s version. It’s The End of the Year As We Know It You know, I have been writing these little end… Continue reading It's the End of the Year As We Know It…

11-11-11 Movie review
11-11-11 Movie review UGH! That is my review of this film. Three letters, one word, one feeling – UGH! Man alive, I tell you what, I dragged my girlfriend to a dumpy mall an hour and a half away from where we live to see what I thought would be a creepy little movie only… Continue reading 11-11-11 Movie review
How We Got To Where We Went
It feels slightly pompous to act as if putting a horror convention together , a FIRST YEAR horror convention, is anything of great importance and in all honesty, it isn't THAT important but for those of us directly involved in the long process of doing it it was, and it became our lives. As personal… Continue reading How We Got To Where We Went
The Long Rest
It’s a strange, scary thing to think, no, not just to think but to say – I lived a dream. It’s scary because the dreams, the big dreams, tend to see so distant, so ethereal that at times they seem as if they are impossible. As if all they can be is a dream. I… Continue reading The Long Rest
It Comes Down To This
Today is essentially the last 'free' day before things get crazy for me. Friday and Saturday, the 28th and 29th of October 2011, are the two culminating days of a journey that began over ten years ago with a dream and which began in earnest in February. Good or bad, awesome or horrible, in three… Continue reading It Comes Down To This
It Is The Time For Darkness
In the night it watches you. It knows what you dream. It knows what you want. It knows what you fear. The Darkness knows you. It is time you learned a little about it. Learn.
Expecting Better
I think it's become pretty clear by now that I have a really broad interest in horror. Good, bad, and horrible, I like it all. For me, it's all about whether I have fun with what I am watching or not. It's about whether what the people were trying to do and did do allow… Continue reading Expecting Better

Chasing The Dream
Dreams are tricky little thin. It isn't that they are slick, or slippery so much as they are like the air around us - we cannot see them but without them we die. Sure, the death of a dream won't necessarily kill us, not the day to day us, but it kills a vital part… Continue reading Chasing The Dream
Save the Books!
With the recent news that the Borders book chain is going to soon be closing it gets one to thinking about the future of books and bookstores. It really is a scary, strange time for books, for authors, and for the fans of the physical reading medium. The thing right now is that e-books and… Continue reading Save the Books!
Bigger Than the Work
Summer reading season is an interesting time. I suppose it's because people take vacations around this time so I guess it's natural that books get more publicity around the warmer months, though that's pretty sad because you can always find a little time to read, I mean, really. Come on now. Anyway, it's interesting right… Continue reading Bigger Than the Work
Peering Into Darkness
As a writer and fan of the macabre I can appreciate and fully understand the pull of the abyss. As humans we are all drawn toward the darkness of the human spirit, the human heart, and the awful things we are capable of doing. That is one of the things that sets us apart from… Continue reading Peering Into Darkness
Your Taste’s Funny
Ya know, one of those things in life that people just can’t take from you, as much as they may try, is your taste. It’s all you baby and the world is better for it. The thing about life, about humans, is that it’s the things that make us different that make us so… Continue reading Your Taste’s Funny
