Eight years. It seems more like eight seconds. Eight years ago I got offered this gig and it was, at the risk of hyperbole, a dream come true. Somebody willing to pay me for my words, and the labor of putting those words on digital paper. And having people actually read those words. It was… Continue reading All Good Things…

Considering JAWS was the first summer blockbuster, it’s only fitting that we kick off summer 2022 with news of the JAWS-related variety. Last week I reported on the fact that a child actor who appeared briefly in movie has now become chief of police for the little town that served as the setting for Amity… Continue reading More JAWS News

Waitaminute. I thought in space no one was supposed to be able to hear you scream? My middle school Science teacher drilled it into the impressionable young minds of his students that, since there’s no atmosphere in space, there’s no sound. Thus all the explosions and laser blasts and sounds of the engines of spaceships… Continue reading And Speaking of Cosmic Horror…

My personal views regarding the existence of Hell have changed a lot since my childhood days, when I grew up in a little fundamentalist country church and believed everything I was taught in Sunday school. Nowadays I know that the word “Hell” isn’t even in the original translations of the Bible. We got “Hell” from… Continue reading Planet Hell

JAWS counts as one of my favorite movies.

Pa’haana slept, and dreamt of pain. In those dreams, he battled both T’cho and Maker-of-Ghosts. Time and again, the bear’s claws found him; over and over he felt the meat being torn from his bones. Then T’cho joined in the torture, jabbing him with a sharp stick. “Stop!” Pa’haana managed. He tried to hold off… Continue reading THE PATH Part 25

Maker-of-Ghosts reared up onto his back legs in an attempt to throw Pa’haana off, then dropped down on all fours again. All this took quite some time, a full season or more, and during this time Pa’haana managed to seize the shaft of his spear where it jutted out from the bear’s shoulder. Pa’haana jerked… Continue reading THE PATH Part 24
