  • Completely Different Than Anything We Can Imagine

    Have you ever wondered why book, movie, and TV depictions of aliens are almost always human or human-like? I have. And I wonder, if there are alien life forms, what makes us think they’d be like us? My guess is that we find it very difficult to imagine life outside of what we can perceive.…

  • Human x AI

    Today Artificial Intelligence is a recurring theme, for obvious reasons. Its use is more and more frequent, and for this reason all discussions always end with the same question: Will AI completely replace humans in the future? My answer to that question will always be the same: Never! Unless robots/machines become sentient, they will never become…

  • Face-off

    Good morning, horror fans, and I hope you find a good scare before the day is over. This month, once again, I bring you my latest pencil drawing. I was considering several different titles for it, but my grandpa took one look and said, “Face-off,” so Face-off it is. In the drawing a young lady…

  • The Old School

    Do you like the Universal Monsters? The old black and white film versions of Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, the Wolfman, Invisible Man, etc.? If so, then you probably love classic horror. So do I. I grew up watching those flicks in syndicated TV and later on the glory that is TCM. Monsters who literally moved at…

    The Hungur Chronicles

    Last week, I received my contributor copy of the Samhain 2023 issue of The Hungur Chronicles, which proved to be a nice, early Holiday present. This semi-annual, digest-sized magazine edited by Terrie Leigh Relf and Robert Bellam features stories and poems about vampires, with a special emphasis on vampires who have a connection to space.…

  • Stealth Muse

    Sometime while I wasn’t looking my muse climbed in an unguarded window and set up shop in his old office. The nerve of this guy, right? Gone for a year and a half then sneaks onto the job site and pretends like he’s been here all along. If he thinks for one minute that I’m…

  • Book Review: Your Arms Around Entropy

    Every now and then one encounters an extraordinary author. A writer who’s a magician with his or her pen. And over the course of the past 9 years, I’ve been very fortunate to find several such authors. One of those is Brian Fatah Steele. I’ve read his short story collection Your Arms Around Entropy and…

  • The Art of Writing Scary Characters

    Being a horror author, I often hear questions about how I can write such scary stories and where that inspiration comes from. The most interesting thing is readers often don’t realize that it isn’t just the story that gets them scared but the evil characters. For me, both as an author and even more as…

  • The Art of Horror

    Hello, fellow scream-lovers. My name is Brian, and I’m the new kid on the block. Jack is my grandpa and Venus is my little sister and partner in crime. I used to draw when I was in school and have started to get back into it; my grandpa said that I might find a welcome…

  • Don’t Know Science

    What do you do when you love science fiction, want to write science fiction, but don’t have a degree in any science? What do you do when you’re not the typical geek who loves nerdy stuff but never had the focus to get through college? Or struggled with a learning disability that killed that dream?…
