While I can crack jokes, I always feel I can never do it on demand, or consistently think ...
Junji Ito and the art of unease
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Aug. 7, 2020
A core principle of the works of horror mangaka Junji Ito, is the mundane and everyday only backwards. This concept is perfect for short stories as there is no need, or time, to explore lengthy explanations for the uncanny. Events are as they appear which renders them all the more ...

Choosing Your Genre
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Aug. 1, 2020
For better or for worse, we are creatures of categorizations. We love to label things, and to sort them into neat little boxes so that we are absolutely certain we know what to expect when dealing with each one. It is that sense of familiarity that we are looking for ...

Wounded Characters
