A Look at Books

Banes at 12:00AM, Aug. 17, 2023



I was thinking about the power of books in fiction - like, secret journals, diaries, and such.

Horror - The Morality Play

Banes at 12:00AM, July 27, 2023



The idea of “sin” is a prevalent one in horror stories. In terrifying tales, the monstrous against the human also explores good vs. evil.

There is often a “sin” perpetrated by horror Protagonists. The classic Psycho begins with Marion Crane stealing money from her job. Her intentions are understandable, maybe ...

Reimagining Stories

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, July 22, 2023




So lately there has been a repetitive sequence of events that seems to carry on until some kind of death- of the story, of the company, or of the genre for a few years or so:

Dumb can be dangerous

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, July 15, 2023




So we love our clever villains, our smooth criminals, the conniving sly characters that use their brains to thwart the heroes and be a real menace. Like the riskiest game of chess, the hero has to match that kind of villain in strategy and smarts as well as determination, prowess ...

No One of Consequence

Banes at 12:00AM, July 13, 2023




One of my favorite tropes (at least I think it's a trope. Not sure how common it is) is the “unknown hero”.
