Here’s an unusual little site I found the other day: Dante’s Inferno – A Virtual Tour of Hell
Like it!
I have just visited the official Bela Lugosi website. If you’ve never seen it before, it is worth a visit for the intro alone. It is almost like a little film. IF you are interested, you can check it out by clicking HERE. There is an option to skip the intro (isn’t there always?) but…
The Legend of the Green Man
Ever heard of The Green Man? No, I don’t mean the pub. No, not that little guy from the spaceship either, but if you should see him, tell him I said hi. The Green man I am talking about is a nature spirit and there was once a widespread belief in The Green Man all…
On Writing Horror: A Handbook From The Horror Writer’s Association
I received an email from the HWA earlier this week. Apparantly the above book has just been updated. Bearing in mind that people that are not members of the HWA will probably not even have heard of the book, let alone that it has been updated, I just thought that I would mention it here….
A Book To Help Me Get Things Bang-on Correct
I’ve just finished reading Armed and Dangerous – A Writer’s Guide to Weapons, by Michael Newton. I know very little about guns and I thought that this book would be handy to have as a reference source. Now that I’ve read it I am sure that I was correct in that assumption and I have…
Yesterday I more or less forgot that it was Halloween. It was easy to do. In the town a lot of the Christmas decorations are up and the local shopping centre looks like Santa’s grotto – in fact Santa’s grotto is actually there underneath the Christmas tree. In the back of my mind I knew…
Free Halloween E-book
A couple of days ago someone sent me a free Halloween e-book. I have had a slight involvement with internet marketing, so I often get things like this. Usually, in the case of a free e-book, the e-book will be filled with lots of affiliate links, and if the reader then buys anything, from the…
Just a Quick Link
Yep! I’m feeling lazy again today and I have a link that I have been saving for just such a day as this. It’s a link to a site I found a few weeks ago, The site is called Winter Steel and there is some interesting stuff on the site. I bookmarked the site becuase…
Stumped!
Gosh it is a struggle trying to come up with Halloween related posts. I’m getting a bit stumped to tell the truth, so I might scrap that idea. One thing I did find, during my research, was that quite a lot of people have died on Halloween. Tragically the actor River Phoenix was amonst this…
A Screaming Halloween
In octoberer 2000, with halloween very firmly in their minds, organisers at the millenium dome decided that it might be nice to spook out their vistors by organising a contest to find who could produce the loudest scream. When classroom assistant, Jill Drake, stepped up to the challenge, and exercised her lungs, she produced a…
