Status Update

I am currently looking out on a field of green and can feel the warmth of the sun on my face as it beams in through the window. It has been a long and difficult winter, but that time is behind us now. Now is the time of warmth and of shorts and t-shirts, of

31 Days = 31 Horror Reviews

Last year, I spent the month of October updating my “writingcentric” Tumblr blog with various horror short stories (read them here). This year, I thought I’d do something different.

I’m sure there are those who will see a thunderstorm in their weather update and groan. “Ugh, rain.” they’ll say, “Just when the
