Every now and again, life catches me off-guard. It’s times like these I need to turn to contributions from you, the audience. If you’ve ever read the Opinions section of the local newspaper, or the comments of an article on the Huffington Post, you know that sometimes the readers contribute just as much as the… Continue reading Crank File: Demon Knight Review

Flash Fiction: David and Victoria
For the Terribleminds flash fiction challenge, Five Words Plus One Vampire. The cockroach scuttled across the insulating layer of dust on the floor. David frowned as he swept his flashlight across the gatehouse interior. The castle had apparently been abandoned for the better part of a century, according to the locals. Nobody seemed to want… Continue reading Flash Fiction: David and Victoria
IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Red Dragon
[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/red_dragon.mp3] When we last left our dear Doctor Hannibal Lecter, he was completing his tenure at a Parisian medical school while enacting bloody vengeance upon the Nazi war criminals that devoured his sister and his innocence. While he did have run-ins with the law, he did not truly meet an equal or memorable rival the… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Red Dragon
Flash Fiction: Burn
Because Chuck wanted a brand new monster… I don’t remember much beyond the tank. Floating in some odd solution, tubes hanging out of me, the mask on my face giving me air. I don’t know how I got out, or why I was there in the first place. The first thing I remember is running… Continue reading Flash Fiction: Burn
IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Hannibal Rising
[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/hannibal_rising.mp3] October has arrived. It’s a month that brings a change of seasons, a decrease in termperatures, post-season baseball and a plethora of colors. Oh, and I think there’s some holiday at the end of it. In honor of a time where folks fly their freak flags, culminating in a celebration of sugary or other… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Hannibal Rising
IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Ringu
Original Text: [spoiler] This is Darth Vader. Right-hand man of the evil Emperor Palpatine, Lord of the Sith, and lately the poster child for the outcry of “They changed it, now it sucks.” While in that case we’re talking about a man somewhat bloated by his own ego ham-handedly forcing things into what were perfectly… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX!

On The Grim, Dark Far Future
Practical armour and sweet hats are in this season throughout the Imperium. I’ve gone through a few periods in my life where I’ve had more disposable income than I’ve known what to do with. Actually, I take that back, I knew EXACTLY what to do with it: buy more games! I used to play Warhammer… Continue reading On The Grim, Dark Far Future
Flash Fiction: The Haunting on Rue de Berri
Plucked from the pages of history indeed. “Thank you for coming, Mister Franklin.” “It’s nothing.” The printing mogul and statesman leaned on his walking stick as he looked around the room. Like so many Parisian homes, it was as ostentatious as taste and budget allowed. A black cat looked up at him from the fainting… Continue reading Flash Fiction: The Haunting on Rue de Berri
IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Silent Hill
In my restless dreams, I see that town. Silent Hill… [audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/silent_hill.mp3] There are certain experiences that are consigned to particular media for one reason or another. As well as HBO has adapted Game of Thrones, the full expansiveness of the world and characters created by George RR Martin is best experienced in its original doorstopper… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX!

IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Black Death
[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/black_death.mp3] I made a promise, some time ago, that I would avoid discussing religion overmuch, if at all, on this blog. Yet when Black Death won the poll it was clear that I’d have to sprain that promise. Since it’s in the context of a movie, I won’t consider it entirely broken. There’s also the… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Black Death
