From the Diary of Maribelle Tate: So we saved his life. But at what cost? Then they chuck him in the back of a truck and off they go under armed escort. Guarded by a small army, to be honest. And he’ll be on the first private flight out of Kenya, headed for the land…

BLACKMANE Chapter 35
From the diary of Maribelle Tate: God, please tell me we did the right thing. I know Judith knows what she’s talking about. She says he would have died for sure if it hadn’t been for us, and I believe her. But the irony! We set out to warn BM so he can get away…
BLACKMANE Chapter 34
“Daisy prefers her meals raw,” Amman said. “And alive.” He chuckled. “I expect Daisy will make an exception this time,” Avni said. “But you’ll have to carry the body down to the basement, unless you were to roll it down the stairs.” “I got him in the boiler, didn’t I? I can manage. I’m not…
A New JEEPERS CREEPERS
I’m a huge mark for the JEEPERS CREEPERS franchise, but ever since I found out about writer-director Victor Salva’s criminal record I’ve been conflicted about it. I don’t advocate for the guvment being able to dictate how a felon earns a living after the felon is released from jail. (Some people have said Salva and…
Zombie’s MUNSTERS
Yes, it’s official. Rob Zombie is doing a movie adaptation of the classic television series THE MUNSTERS. I don’t know how I feel about it, honestly. This the guy who gave us THE DEVIL’S REJECTS and 3 FROM HELL, after all. On the other hand, this is the guy who gave us THE LORDS OF…
A QUIET PLACE PART TWO Breaks the Hundred-Million Barrier
Yes, the sequel has now topped that coveted hundred-million dollar mark, the first movie to achieve that status since the pandemic hit over a year ago. Movie theaters and the moviegoing experience are almost back to normal now. Huzzah! And congratulations to John Krasinski on his success. Congratulations to everyone involved in the A QUIET…
BLACKMANE Chapter 33
She found him in the room that had once been the house’s conservatory. Amman had turned it into his makeshift laboratory, complete with tiled floors and bleached-white walls, and here and there a table or wheeled cart of surgical stainless steel. Sinks and cabinets, lamps on tall posts. Not to mention other pieces of machinery,…
BLACKMANE Chapter 32
When she arrived, the whole house smelled like spoiled meat, and Doctor Avni Natarajan knew what that meant. She wondered yet again what she could have done to deserve this fate. Why had things all gone so wrong so fast? Karma? Avni was not religious, had never been. Raised to value Science and Education by…
An A QUIET PLACE Shared Universe?
Hell, yeah. I’m all for it, provided the level of quality established by the first two films can be maintained. A QUIET PLACE PART TWO has been a big hit thus far, following GODZILLA VS. KONG as that much-needed second shot of epinephrine into the heart of the movie theater business, proving that the box…
BLACKMANE Chapter 32
The Blackmane roared, a sound as loud as the gunshot, as loud as the thunder, a sound so awful that Maribelle had to cover her ears. A sound so awful it could stop a heartbeat. “Wait!” Maribelle sprang to her feet, rushing towards the Blackmane. Most of the hyenas fled before him, running away through…
