Okay, wow. Having feels tonight I was not expecting to have. Vaguely remembered that I’d written myself a letter to read in 10 years as a bucket list thing and that I was supposed to open it sometime this year. I was rummaging around in the drawer I’d hidden it in today so I grabbed […]

Fanfiction: While the Girls Are Away… (NSFW)
Part Two “Josh!” So many thoughts ran through Tyler’s mind when Josh fell face-first into the room that he couldn’t fix on any one of them. What the hell? Is that Josh? What were the chances? Omigod, that’s Josh! But Debby promised she wouldn’t tell him I’d be home… Seriously… what the hell?! Wait. Is […]

Fanfiction: A Rock and a Home
Neither of them could say whose idea it was to add extra dates to the end of their world tour –but they both agreed that it was a terrible one. Unfortunately, they were already two stops into the whirlwind mini tour. Just two stops in, and all the reasons they should have cut and run […]

Fanfiction: While the Girls Are Away… (NSFW)
Part One When Debby told Josh she was kidnapping Jenna and the kids for a day of pizza and ball pits, Josh hurried to do something he hadn’t done in far too long. Hang out with his best friend. Sure, he and Tyler saw each other all the time–but that was, you know, work. Scheduled […]

Movie Review: American Carnage (2022)
American Carnage was released in 2022 – which makes the fact that it’s so painfully relevant to Trump’s second (interminable) term in office that much more impressive. This one had my jaw on the floor the first time we watched it. And I’ve watched it twice since then! The movie takes a surprisingly amusing swing […]

Movie Review: Return to Silent Hill (2026)
It’s impossible to go into a movie like Return to Silent Hill (2026) without certain expectations. That’s the nature of adaptations. This one faced additional challenges in that it didn’t just have to compete with the game franchise (’90’s graphics? Shouldn’t be too hard, right?) it also had to compete with 2006 adaptation. Which, let’s […]

Book Review: Dastardly Damsels by Suzie Lockhart (editor)
I will always go for a horror anthology written exclusively by women. Why? *sigh* I had the honor(?) of reading submissions to an extreme horror publication some time ago and I cannot begin to tell you how jaded, disappointed, and downright freaking disgusted the experience left me. I learned during my time as a reader […]

New Year Spell Jar (2026)
One of my favourite witchy activities to welcome the new year is to make a spell jar. They’re simple but powerful and you probably already have what you need to complete one already. The ingredients are basic but can be personalized according to taste and need. Let me share my 2026 New Year Spell Jar […]

Book Review: Into the Forest: Tales of the Baba Yaga by Lindy Ryan (editor)
You might think that I first discovered Baba Yaga through my lifelong study of witchcraft and the occult. You would, of course, be wrong. Because I wasn’t just a baby witch in school. I was also (and remain) an incurable geek. One of my favorite DOS-based games growing up was Sierra’s Quest For Glory (aka: […]

Game Review: The Park (2015)
Did you take advantage of XBox’s winter sale on games? I did! My gaming style is… well, kinda like the rest of my style: eclectic, leaning toward the dark, and easily distracted. Glitter goth granny-core at its best! So, you can probably already guess that I downloaded several games to try and that I’ll take […]
