Recurring Nightmares
Apparently we dream anywhere between 4 to 6 times a night. I wonder how many of those dreams are of the dark kind, but we simply don’t remember them? What if they’re nightmares we SHOULD remember, but they’re hidden from us? I think there might be a story in that ;P The worst nightmare IContinue reading “Recurring Nightmares”

Moore, to name a few, and is published by Cohesion Press. Visit their website for purchasing information. Head over to the book’sContinue reading “Artistic endeavours”
Dungeon-Master!
They say a writer needs his/her space in order to be creative and this certainly applies to me. Much to my family’s chagrin, when I need to work (whether it be writing or illustrating), I retreat into my office/man-cave/dungeon. It’s kind of like the contents of my head on four walls. I’m comfortably surrounded byContinue reading “Dungeon-Master!”

Society of Fear
Two questions were posed on the internet this week about books that have really gotten to me. The first was whether books should have trigger warnings – warnings about the themes the books might contain, similar to warnings or classifications for film. Currently some websites and blogs contain trigger warnings, but now some colleges inContinue reading “Society of Fear”
A Wonderful World of Horror!
The World Horror Convention 2014 at Portland, Oregon is something that I’ll never forget. As my first ever overseas trip, this was an absolute cracker in which I met many horror author friends and shook hands with some of the greats of the industry.
