My older […]… Continue reading Beards and Horror — David Lee Summers’ Web Journal

Even before the abbreviated horror struck, I liked my social distance. I’ve always despised people getting too close for stuff like the inappropriate hug or the power touching.

We made a list of 20 movies, 10 picks each, 5 watched and 5 unwatched, and chose one randomly just […]… Continue reading We Watched Horror Movies for 11 Hours 👻 — Elaine Howlin

It’s National Poetry Month, so let’s take a look-see at some poetic prose. Recently, in two horror novel reviews on Amazon, I claimed both books were full of poetic prose. Did the authors really write with lyricism, or was I just blowing smoke? Let’s examine a couple of text excerpts to find out.

I was unusually tired when I got back home from work on Sunday afternoon. With plenty of things I was ‘supposed to’ do, I couldn’t settle to anything for once and spent most of the day listening to music.
