I can see why Lovecraft is the father of horror writing. He writes the best monsters. This week I’ve read three Lovecraft short stories, “Pickman,” “The Outsider,” and “The Call of Cthulhu.” Lovecraft’s monsters worked for me on many levels. Foremost, they are the supernatural horror monsters that are right …
This week’s horror 80’s horror flick, John Carpenter’s THE THING was a tough thing for me to watch. The premise of an alien frozen in the Arctic warming enough to take over the bodies of human and animal is frightening. One of the most frightening aspects of the movie as …
I was apprehensive at the idea of staying in a hostel, but in the end I wanted to give the boys that experience. Truthfully, staying a Wombats in a private room with the boys was more like a hotel than a hostel. Being that Matthew is under 18, we had …
Easy to navigate. We were never lost, never confused, and never felt worried or out of place. London was a fantastic place to visit. Our only regret is that we didn’t have more time to spend there. If I had to do the trip all over again, I would definitely …
One of the highlights of my trip was standing in front of Bernini’s sculptures. Works of art I’d only studied from book, and honestly never thought I’d be able to see in person. I’ve never been one to become emotional over art but I can no longer say that. I …
First stop when we entered the beautiful park (Villa Borghese) was for Panini. For Matt, that meant a hot dog sliced longways on a hard panini-like bread. So far, still not thrilled with his food in Rome, but adding a couple of Snickers bars and he was good to go. …
I’ve been working on my MFA studies, and writing but I still want to share (and remember) our overseas adventure so I am slowly but surely getting to posting some pictures of our travels. We walked and we walked and we walked. Did I mention we walked? We decided …
Clive Barker had done it again in the short story “The Yattering and the Jack.” I loved it! The story appears in The Book of Blood, Volume I. From the first paragraph, Barker captivated me and pulled me into the narrative. The Yattering is a low-ranking demon tasked to drive …
Just a few pictures of Campo Di Fiori, which was right around the corner from the first apartment we stayed in Rome. This was Matt’s favorite morning spot to grab his pineapples! That kid has a pineapple addiction. But there are worst breakfasts to ask for than fresh pineapples from …
Let me preface this review by saying I threw this stupid book across the room when I was through with it this morning! I am one pissed off reader who feels cheated of all by the time I spend eagerly turning the pages of Breeding Ground. Dramatic? Ya, maybe, but …
