I hadn’t quite realized just how short The History of the Necronomicon was, so I decided to make this post a twofer, and I’m going to be talking about Nyarlathotep as well. Neither of these are stories, exactly (The History of the Necronomicon reads more like an essay, and my anthology refers to Nyarlathotep as … More 60 Days Of Lovecraft: The History of the Necronomicon and Nyarlathotep
Welcome to the first post of 60 Days Of Lovecraft! Just a word of warning: I have an uncomfortable suspicion that some of these will be posted rather late in the day, depending on whether or not I have work. Anyway, let’s jump right into The Dunwich Horror! I chose The Dunwich Horror to kick … More 60 Days Of Lovecraft: The Dunwich Horror
Greetings, fellow Earthlings! This blog has been quite neglected for quite a while, and I figured I should really give it some attention. Unfortunately, I’ve been suffering a lot of writer’s block lately. However, I somewhat recently received a very beautiful collection of H.P. Lovecraft stories, and I decided it might be fun to dedicate … More 60 Days Of Lovecraft
So it’s officially been over two months since I last posted on this here blog. Sheesh. Am I an irresponsible blogger or what? In my defense, I’ve been quite busy with school, and work, and life. I’ve also been suffering from an attack of blogger’s block, which is not the same thing as writer’s block. … More Update
Stories are my favorite things in the entire world. I love to read them, watch them, listen to them, decipher them out of a few lines of poetry, devour them in the form of novels, and just generally enjoy them. In fact, I love them so much I’ve decided to major in English and then … More The Importance of Fanfiction
The fact that I read this book in the first place is actually a complete and total accident. My best friend/roommate/fellow bookworm found it at the library and gave me a basic summary after reading it. Generally we have fairly different book-taste, but this one sounded right up my alley. She warned me that it … More Book Review: Bleeding Earth by Kaitlin Ward
Ever since my days as a fresh-faced high school freshman, I dreamed of owning a tube of black lipstick. I’m not really sure why; I guess fourteen-year-old me had aspirations of gothic beauty, which is kind of a difficult look to achieve when you buy the majority of your clothes at Old Navy. But seriously, … More My Personal Journey to Black Lipstick
I’ve always been fascinated by stories about intense, usually unhealthy friendships. I’m not really sure why; my best guess is that I went through a period in late elementary/early middle school where I had a total friend-crush on a girl who proceeded to ditch me as soon as she found some newer, cooler friends and … More Book Review:”The Girls” by Emma Cline
The Internet is kind of like Neverland. There are so many weird and wonderful little nooks and crannies to explore, you come across things you never knew existed (okay I guess this is both a plus and a minus), and if you search hard enough (actually not that hard) you can probably find some mermaids. … More Why I Hate the Internet
Today I woke and felt like whining. You know those days? You just wake up and, for no particular reason, you’re just kind of pissed at the world in general? Well that was me this morning. So I figured I’d put my bad attitude to good use and mope about an issue that is near … More The Tomboy vs. Girly-Girl Dichotomy and Why it Sucks
