I haven’t made a post since the paperback release of Elkwood Kids, my debut horror novel, and wanted to return to the site to get some things off my mind here. I’ve been writing a ton of things, seeing a ton of movies, making art and music. I’ve also been thinking about sorrow and darkness, […]
Hello everyone! It’s been some time since I made a proper post to this website. I’ve been hard at work on a project for quite some time. It’s been several years, actually, since I completed the first draft of my first ever novel, Elkwood Kids. Horror is one of my pet genres. Fantasy was where […]
What you’re looking at below is the word and page count (single-spaced) of a book I started writing in February. This is only the first draft, but now that that’s done, I can start the editing and rewriting process. I started this as a short horror story written in my notes app on my phone. […]

It’s growing everyday, look at main street, please!We’re not getting any better, we’re not settling into this.Every breath you […]
Being drenched constantly in the superhero genre gets old sometimes. This is especially true when one variety of superhero film in the MCU manages to strangle the market. We’ve seen the genre branch out and spawn films and shows that break the mold, however, especially recently with the likes of The Boys and Zack Snyder’s […]
After my last review, I spent a lot of time thinking about what was next for these books and what they were heading toward. I was anticipating this issue most of all, I think, because this would make or break the Three Jokers story as a series. This middle point will decide whether or not […]
Welcome to 2020. I’ve been sitting on Netflix Dumpster Dive for a month, wanting to let my post on The Witcher ride out January as the general public caught up on the show. Now, I’m back for more. I plan on doing more seasons of shows in the future, as I’m finding that the television […]
I don’t consider myself a critic. I don’t have the educational or long term career background to claim that title for myself. What’s more, I find that I, like many people, am often at odds with critics’ opinions of movies. As a reviewer, my first and foremost consideration with any piece of media is not […]
