We’re about to cross through the looking glass folks. … Continue reading Monsters of the Southwest – The Dulce Base
“Grandad always refused to talk about yee naaldlooshii at night.

“It was just after dusk when we saw them; a half dozen figures hopping across the plains like a bunch of kangaroos straight out of the depth of Hell. They were too far away to make out the details but the fading light glinted off their eyes.

A monster of some sort or other was necessary. It only made sense that … Continue reading Monsters of the Southwest: Coco

There’s plenty going on about the rest of … Continue reading Book Review – The Dark Land by D.M. Shepard

I’m starting up a short series on computers and how to write about them. Today’s entry is on hacking. Strange characters and phrases danced across Max’s dark sunglasses.
