Stop.

Stop lusting after popularity and just write. I’d ask you to come back and tell us how you felt, but you won’t. You won’t come back. Spoiler: it’s a springtime morning on grandma’s porch swing. You’re seven and you have a handful of Animal Crackers. It’s that good.

Rev-iew: Nosferatu (2024)

As with most “popular” horror films aka anything begging for Hot Topic merchandising, I waited four months to watch this film. I like Lily Depp when she’s working with Harley Smith.

I’m writing this on Thursday and I didn’t want to predict any overwhelming fear or happiness that may occur between now and publishing. It’s a strange world we are living in after all. My morning […]

Outside Looking In

If you’ve been following my shenanigans long enough, you’ll know the entire back story of this sermon. For those who don’t: I was contracted to write a “splatter western” novella. I researched splatterpunk thoroughly via entries by Ed Lee and Patrick Harrison III aka PC3. I understood the assignment. Somewhere along the line, silly Karens […]
