Marginalia #12
Not necessarily about Twin Peaks, but about what the show has meant to fans, specifically women who have experienced trauma. I was a little disappointed at first, since I expected more of an analysis of the show, but I realized that I wasn’t the intended audience. I still got a lot from it. Plenty of … Continue reading Marginalia #12
Marginalia #11
I love reissues of classics, even though I don’t buy a lot of them. At one point, realizing I had over 13 copies of 1984 and limited space led me to getting rid of most of them. Anyway, I like “The Willows”, but haven’t been made a superfan of Blackwood yet. He sets fantastic moods, … Continue reading Marginalia #11

Besides captivating art, this book is an … Continue reading Marginalia #10

Marginalia #9
I’ve been rereading some classic horror including Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla and Stoker’s Lair of the White Worm. Le Fanu is the better writer and sets up a lot for Stoker’s Dracula almost three decades later. These and M. R. James’s ghost stories have filled up my October reading. Kyua (Cure, 1997) is part of … Continue reading Marginalia #9

Black Lodge Review Over at HorrorDNA
Every time I say I’m not going to write and focus on music, I end up coming back to writing about horror. My first almost-publication was a Halloween edition of my sixth grade school paper. I wrote movie reviews and drew pumpkins for a rating system. They got printed (on orange paper!) but were never … Continue reading Black Lodge Review Over at HorrorDNA
