Description

Cascading myself into the sea was the easiest route I could have taken. To have the wind whip against my cheeks, invisible razorblades cutting at my falling body. To feel the hard, drum-like beating against my chest as though a bat taking flight had lodged itself between my ribcage. The salt of the sea dozens of approaching feet below, splashing up in white-specked waves of frustration and anger. My eyes would have caught a vision of this dark blue frothing. It was a short but sweet event, an initiation of some kind that didn’t truly need to happen, but would for the sake of my personal sanity. I would never again need to worry and wonder and fear, for the sea would swallow me into its abyssal gorge and free me from my nightmare.

…To think I speak of it as if this had been my end. For there were to be many more trials beyond those waves. One of which I see, even today, cresting over the horizon, a violet hue shining in the gloom. I ask, now, how everything in my chest became the swirling torrent it is today. The answer is always the same: It was under the Tree where it all became known.

It started the night I went to heaven.

The Tree Dream is also available in Kindle eBook and Paperback (new cover pending).

Gemini Home Entertainment: Cosmic Horror Meets Analog Video

  Gemini Home Entertainment: Cosmic Horror Meets Analog Video Supernatural horror, as a genre, can come in many shapes and sizes. From books to television to even comic books, the idea of something unknown and unexplainable lurking just at the corners of human vision has always fascinated us. I should know, given I've written books inspired by those very ideas. But, with the Internet allowing storytellers more tools to create and share the worlds they envision, a whole new slew of horror content has been cropping up in the last decade or so. This ranges from shows like  Marble Hornets , a webseries about the popular, faceless Slenderman monster, to "creepypasta," Internet horror stories, some of which are incredibly chilling ("Candle Cove" being one of my favorites).  But recently, a new type of video has been cropping up on YouTube: Analog horror. A subgenre of found footage, analog horror typically throws away the idea that found footage has to rely on a chara

The Walking Dead S11 E12: "The Lucky Ones" Review

  The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 12: "The Lucky Ones" Review [WARNING: Major spoilers for  The Walking Dead  seasons 1-10, spoilers for season 11.] With the previous episode of The Walking Dead giving us a little more insight as to what may be going on within darker confines of the Commonwealth, I was anticipating another episode that would elaborate on what had been established. What I didn't expect, however, was a mixed bag episode that both indicated what the conflict for Part 2 would be moving forward while also raising a lot of questions regarding the show's inner logistics. While this episode did excite me for what was to come, a lot of it felt like filler that could have been established within half an episode. Regardless, while I'm a bit iffy on the presentation, I am interested to see where the story is going and how it's going to differ from the comics--which is already evident given what's been happening. The major plot of this episode sees

Breaking Bad Season 1: A Retrospective

  Breaking Bad Season 1: A Retrospective This entry is part of a series of retrospectives on the  Breaking Bad  universe. Click  here  for the next entry on  Breaking Bad  Season 2. [Note: As a series retrospective, this post will contain major spoilers from Breaking Bad, its sequel film El Camino, and its prequel series Better Call Saul] On August 15th, 2022, the final piece of the Breaking Bad universe, Better Call Saul , will come to an end. And, with its end, the Breaking Bad universe will also come to a close--unless, of course, AMC's insistence that creator Vince Gilligan return with another show comes to fruition (perhaps a Gus prequel titled "Los Pollos Hermanos"? Just spitballing here). Given this milestone of the end of Saul's journey, I thought it would be appropriate to rewatch Breaking Bad , Better Call Saul , and El Camino in order to get a refreshed sense of the journey Gilligan and his frequent collaborator Peter Gould have taken audiences on for nearl
