This isn't going to be a clean post. I expect for it to be messy, without clean lines of syntax and imagery. I told myself I wouldn't agonize over finding exactly the right word. And I expect this will be hard. After all, it has all been hard.
Sunday is Mother's Day. I'm looking forward to the day spent with my husband and little guy. Just the three of us, enjoying our time together as a family....

A Review of The Children of Old Leech
A wonderful, wonderful fellow writer was the first person to
introduce me to Laird Barron. That weekend, I lost myself in his strange world,
both horrified and fascinated by the mythos he’d created.
The Children of Old
Leech succeeds in paying homage to Barron in all of the best ways. I had to

Eight issues in and Shock

Strange Bits: A Review of Jamais Vu
In this second issue, Jamais Vu proves once more that when
it comes to dark, unsettling pieces, they are second to none. That’s not to say
