I don’t know if I can ever dream a dream as lonely as being in space With Shapes That morph Speckles of static Neon rainbow bright No Gravity Like In Womb I was a child Dreaming

I happened upon this video about the impacts of climate change soon after Halloween and was thoroughly frightened. I hadn't realized how terribly vulnerable we are to high water damage and how unprepared we are. This video describes what would happen if the Old River Control System failed. Watch...

As an author of horror and thrillers, I love this time of year. There’s nothing like a web covered house with spiders hanging from the front porch to get my pulse racing. And of course, there are all the classic scary movies to choose from on the TV listings.  Zombies, vampires, werewolves,...

Many a long year ago, from my hovel at the top of a steep set of stairs, I scared the bejeezuz out of some teen-agers one  Eve of All Hallows. I had put a black light in the naked and swinging light fixture. I had my door open, with suitable haunting music (like Dance Macabre)  piped...

Now when I started trying to do this as a regular blog again... with the lofty goal of being *gasp* weekly, I didn't really forsee the hassles of recent weeks coming to a pass. Of the myriad of issues that have come about, one such reason is the formation of a new company. http://www....

It was a Sunday evening.  Jessie walked home from her best friend’s house, just as she did every Sunday.  It was still early, but as the seasons had changed, the sky grew dark earlier than it had over the summer.  She knew she shouldn’t have brought her backpack, but it was full of fun stuff that...

            There was something wrong with the new baby.  Something strange.  Mom and Dad didn't believe me, and I'd even overheard them talking about me being jealous.  Me?  Jealous?  I was too busy playing basketball at Jim's house after school to be jealous, not to mention torturing the...

A good book sticks with you long after you've read it. It's been six days since I finished reading The Unauthorized Autobiography of Ethan Jacobs, but when I'm going about my everyday routine, I'm randomly reminded of a part in the book, making me smile or giving me a chill. It was so well-written...
