Back in March, Twitter companion and all around good guy, Josh Hewitt, started something really great called Worlds End. He asked a bunch of writers he’d met through the writing community on Twitter to come up with short stories in which our world was slated to die in two years from the impact of an … Continue reading »

From Image Comics, Michael Moreci, Steve Seeley, Brent Schoonover, and Joe Eisma.

Wrestlemania 29 Commentary and Predictions from the View of Kristoffrable
Welcome to the sports entertainment nerd Super Bowl of fake sports; it’s WRESTLEMANIA!!!! Specifically, WrestleMania 29, which comes after 28 and is one short of 30. It’s strange to realize that I’m as old as sports entertainment’s most prestigious, and longest running event in its history. I’m turning 30, and this is bullshit, but whatever, let’s … Continue reading »

Book Review: ‘The Monster Variations’ by Daniel Kraus
I didn’t know what to expect from The Monster Variations at first glance. I picked it up after reading a review posted on the A.V. Club; I mean, if someone was throwing the name of Stephen King around, and you were a fan, you would too. What I got was so much more, and unique, and much … Continue reading »
Record Review: ‘Regions of Light and Sound of God’ by Jim James
Spirituality is one of the toughest subjects to put to song. To the straight laced artist, one fears being labeled in the same vein as Jars of Clay, Relient K, or Amy Grant. Even worse, the artist’s loss of meaning: a message thrown to the wolves to be gobbled up by necessity, ignoring all flavor and nutrient … Continue reading »

Book Review: ’20th Century Ghosts’ by Joe Hill
Joe Hill is one of those guys that you generally hear in passing the first time. The first time I encountered him, I had bought his book Heart-Shaped Box from my local Kinney Drug Store back in 2008 or so. I brought it home, put it on the shelf, forgot about it, and now it sits in … Continue reading »
