The Puzzling Case of How the Horror of a Sporting Accident Rekindled the Creative Flame of Horror Writing

Autumnal Thoughts
The warm summer rays pierce the curtains and gently kiss your face and brighten your closed, sleeping eyes, waking you gently. The morning sun is gleaming brightly through your window, accompanied by the ode to life the birds effortlessly chirp, day in and day out. ‘Is it tee shirt or tank top weather today?’ you …

Summarizing the UFO Report Released on the June 25th Deadline
Aside from a hopeful few, I don’t think many of us expected a smoking gun revealing that we are in fact being visited by off-world beings. However, the 9-page preliminary report (PDF) we did receive does do a hell of a good job outlining a strategy for better recording and analyzing these events, if we …
