Horror Visuals and Their Place in Fiction
Artwork, horror stories, the reading experience — these are all aspects of creativity that I think about a lot, and generally adore.

Smith, Harry has edited the…… Continue reading Horror Visuals and Their Place in Fiction
I have been remiss…
Slackness the First: I’ve been back from Continuum for two days and have yet to post a con report. In short, the convention was brilliant.

Tuesday Therapy: Writing as Sudoku
I’m beginning to feel like the fates have aligned so that each week’s therapy session speaks directly to a writing problem I am currently facing. This hasn’t been prearranged — it’s entirely a fluke — but it’s a happy coincidence. I’ve just passed the 1/3 mark of The Familiar and was starting to wonder if I…… Continue reading Tuesday Therapy: Writing as Sudoku
