I happen to live in Lexington, KY, and I have no excuses for missing the previous 6. Before my Wizard World experience, I had never […]

Since I’m so late with this write-up this week (I was out of town…sorry), I’m going to skip my normal intro and just get right into the Hates/Loves. Hates: 1.

Hello Darkness review
Hello Darkness by Sam Best Reviewed by S. Kay Nash In the horror genre, many authors try for something new and different, something with a twist to surprise their readers. But when it comes right down to it, tales of good vs. evil have scared us for hundreds of years. Why mess with a good […]
