This book is part of a series where Jackie takes old nursery rhymes and writes horror stories based off of them. If the rest of the stories are even half as good as this one, we’re all in for some good reading. My Soul To Keep follows the story of Sky, who starts at a brand […]

Movie Review: Everlasting
This movie was very, very good. Now that I’ve captured you with an enticing introduction, let me tell you why it was good: The cinematography and the directing is some of the best I’ve ever seen in an indie film.

Paper Cuts: 12/5/16
Number one issues can be tricky. The writer needs to set a world, give compelling characters and leave with something to come back around for the next installment. All within the confines of 32 pages. Bad Moon Rising has some elements that intrigue, but unfortunately get lost in the shuffle because there are too many plot […]
“Based on true events.” Four little words that have the power to heighten tension before the story even begins. Heinous crimes have long served as inspiration for genre writers, giving us works such as Room (based upon the Fritzl case), We Need To Talk About Kevin (inspired by the Columbine massacre), and The Night of […]

I know I’m a little late talking about this movie but I watched it last night as part of my Halloween Horror Night and boy do I have some stuff to say. This franchise is the perfect example of one step forward two steps back. For every single effective scene and beautiful cinematography trick, there’s […]
I don’t normally do music writeups but this is different. I was recently introduced to this band and they’ve successfully two burning questions inside of me. “What if horror was thematically more metal and what if metal could be more cinematic.” Ok. So those aren’t questions I had but in retrospect I should have probably […]
This book started as a kickstarter and we are glad it came to fruition. I was hooked pretty much immediately at the world that Bo created. It’s a post apocalyptic western and just typing those words out again bring a giant smile to my face. The book is set forty-six years after the Rapture and is […]

*How long have you been writing for?* Every since elementary school. I was told constantly by English teachers growing up I was creative and had a real talent for storytelling, which I was used to doing everyday when I was playing by myself most times.
