    A relic of my steampunk days. Ignore the made-up vehicle and enjoy the chills… “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” ~ WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, Hamlet “Mr. Potter. Mr. Potter, you need to wake up. There are some people here to see you.” Lucius Potter opened his…

  • THRILLSEEKING

    I haven’t really done a lot in terms of watching or writing horror in the last month. However, Sunday (for some reason) I recalled the movie Ronin, which I love dearly, and how I like Jean Reno’s cautious cool persona. This led me into trying to find a film he starred in I couldn’t remember…

  • The Long Scream

    Detective Elliott Andrews walks through the heavy rain. He pulls up the collar of his leather jacket, trying to take the edge off the cold. He can’t help thinking that the city looks like something out of Blade Runner. As he passes a dark alley, something feels off. He stops and turns toward it, squinting…

  • Snow White: A Tale of Terror

    Last week, Dr. Thomas Davison regaled us with a tale of a truly spooky mirror. This week, I want to take a look at a tale that features perhaps the most famous mirror of all, the fairy tale Snow White. More specifically, I want to take a look at the Michael Cohn film Snow White:…

  • The Mirror

    The following short story, The Mirror, is part of a series from my soon-to-be-published new book of horror shorts, Unleashed Nightmares: From the Depths of My Soul. “The truth is, we all, as human beings, fear different things. I have never been overly fearful of the serial killer with the knife or axe. Or, overly…

  • CREATIVE WRITING X: A New POV

    There have been several interesting and informative posts here of late regarding various aspects of creative writing, so I thought I’d share some thoughts in that vein this time around. Beyond the basics, there are two quotes that I especially like and now try to keep in mind when I write. They were not much…

  • A Lasting Gift

    ‘He’s here, you know…’ ‘Grandma, who’s here? What do you mean?’ ‘It’s my sweet John, your granddad, he’s always here when I need him. He’s just over there, at the end of my bed. I know you can’t see him. But he’s smiling that smile I used to love so much’. Eloise looked up at…

  • THE SHADOW

    My last post was the continuation/conclusion of “Testament”, a terrific story posted by Jack Tyler. It felt so good to be able to have some writing done, since lately life has been preventing me from doing so. I’m glad to say that I decided to start a short story for my post this week. But…

  • Happy Days

    A chill fog dampened the sounds of the city as I arrived, cloaking the once proud Victorian street in gloom. Dilapidated and awaiting demolition, the street had one remaining house showing signs of life. My destination. Above the door, a flickering neon sign proclaimed “Happy Days”. In the grimy window hung a lopsided sign announcing:…

  • An Appalling Lack of Discipline

    “I’m not a big believer in disciplined writers. What does discipline mean? The writer who forces himself to sit down and write for seven hours every day might be wasting those seven hours if he’s not in the mood and doesn’t feel the juice. I don’t think discipline equals creativity.” ~ BRET EASTON ELLIS The…
