Call of Cthulhu, Silent Film

If you’re an H.P. Lovecraft fan, or if you’ve just heard passing references to Cthulhu and have always wondered what the heck it was all about, then you can’t miss this independent short film adaptation of “The Call of Cthulhu”. Unlike many other films that have been written based on...

Dragon*Con 2013

This post comes a little late, but we had a great time at Dragon*Con 2013 this year. I have tons of pictures, but this video by BeatDownBuggie pretty much sums it up. If you’ve never been to Dragon*Con before, this will pretty much make you want to go. Check it...

The “Gray’s Anatomy” of Mythical Creatures

The Resurrectionist: The Lost Work of Dr. Spencer Black, is an absolutely phenomenal book. If you ever wanted to know what the skeletal structure and musculature of a pegasus, siren/mermaid, satyr, minotaur, or harpy would look like, then look no further than this mesmerizing tome! And here as an amazingly...

Dragon*Con 2012!

Well, we just returned from Dragon*Con 2012, and it was great! Dragon*Con is one of North America’s biggest sci-fi/fantasy conventions, and I think there were somewhere around 45,000 people there this year (though I swear it felt more like 45,008). I can’t even begin to name the guests who attend,...

Reflections on GenCon 2012

GenCon 2012 has come and gone, and I have to say I had a pretty good time! GenCon is best known as a gaming convention, but it also has a large sci-fi and fantasy presence as well. Although I consider myself an on-again-off-again gamer, my wife and I spent most...

Solomon Kane: the Movie You Never Heard About

I’m sorry to say I never heard about the Solomon Kane movie, based on the adventures of the archetypal anti-hero created by Robert E. Howard, which was apparently release in Europe and the UK in 2010. Why did I never see it or even hear about it? Because it was never...
