0.0 MHz: Movie Review

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a lovely weekend!

Good news: my novella is complete and I will be sending it out to publishers soon! This is a great achievement for me because I have mainly written short fiction. If this were accepted somewhere, it would be my debut novella. That’s a pretty amazing feeling and next step would be a novel, I suppose! Though that’s rather intimidating.

Now to the review — as per usual, I have kept the review spoiler free.

Do I have an exciting review for you, reader! Never have I been more excited for a movie since I heard about Fear Street Part One: 1994.

Just to be clear, I was given a link for an advanced screening but the opinions in this review are 100% mine.

The Superdeep: Movie Review

If I’m being completely honest, I don’t think I’m much of a fan of summer overall. I like the concept of summer, but I definitely don’t like the heat, the sun, the allergies…

Amazing news: my folk horror novella is completed! I’ll be putting it through one last pair of eyes and hopefully be able to send it out to open calls. It’s been quite the process. I originally completed it late last year but left it for a while, before picking it back up for edits.

I’ll, of course, keep you updated on it as we go!

Army of the Dead: Movie Review

Hello Friday and hello to this movie review! I recently watched this movie with some friends (we were all on a call and pressed play at the same time, the wonders of online movie watching) and wanted to share my review. Don’t worry, I kept this review completely spoiler free! I do call out some things that really annoyed me at the very end, just watch out for the spoiler-line and avoid that area if you don’t want anything ruined for you.

In essence, every game has five players: four survivors and one killer. The goal of the survivors is to repair enough generators that they can open...
