Friday Fiction: A Dire Instance of Lying
This is a story about the end of the world, and of lying. One is more obvious than the other. Sometimes, a lack of information can be its own sort of lie. A hidden truth, told in half-truths.

Doctor Who Special Reviews: Joy To The World
I always look forward to the newest Doctor Who Christmas special—and this episode, “Joy to the World” was no exception. It has already been too long since that last episode. Already too long since I got to see some adventure with the Doctor.
New Year’s Eve Fiction: The Yearly Visit of Robert, Time Traveler
Happy New Year’s Eve, everyone!
To finish out this year, we have one more story. One more tale. And, because this is Sci-Fi Bloggers, it only seems fitting to make this one a science fiction story. But it’s being told in a slightly different way than you might expect.
Crypt of the Moon Spider: Overstuffed Horror
Crypt of the Moon Spider Abandons Its Plot In Its Own Wordbuilding Chaos I went into Crypt of the Moon Spider not knowing two important things about it. The first is that it’s not a monster story, not really. It’s a medical horror book tinged with cosmic horror elements. Perhaps in the sequel, it’ll swing…
Friday Fiction: Chalk Drawings Of Monsters
It’s been a little while since our last horror tale, has it not? Something brutal, spooky, or nightmarish hasn’t graced our Friday Fiction section since (arguably) we found out what a “reverse werewolf” curse was.
Well, that changes with this short tale entitled “Chalk Drawings of Monsters.”
Christmas Fiction: The Great Gift Tree
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone!
It’s become a bit of a tradition around here for Brandon Scott to write a Christmas tale. And this year, he’s been hard at work making sure it’s another good one.
Mythic-Level Elves: A Standard Deck Tech
I said in my recent Foundations article that elves were really strong—and I proved my statement. I got Mythic with a standard white-green elves list. And, since it is the holidays, I figured it only made sense to pass on the gift of a strong deck.
Friday Fiction: Snowfall In The Living Room
The holiday season is so strong in the air now. I feel it. And, apparently, so does our resident author, Brandon Scott. This time, we’re getting a short, cozy fantasy story set around Christmas time.
It Came From The Archives “Doctor Who Special Reviews: The Church on Ruby Road”
The Church on Ruby Road marks the beginning of Ncuti Gatwa’s tenure as the Doctor, and while the episode was a mixed bag, Ncuti did such a good job.
Review: Lucky Girl, How I Became A Horror Writer by M. Rickert
Lucky Girl, How I Became A Horror Writer (I’m shortening that to Lucky Girl) is a story that purports to be about Krampus. It’s not really. Its genre is horror—but it’s almost never scary. And the tagline about a person becoming a horror writer is a portal to so many other issues I’ll rant about later.
Friday Fiction: Frozen Army
It’s the future. But not a nice one. An army of indestructible machines simply called “The Marching” have done serious damage to the planet, destroying so much in their wake.
Foundations: The 5 Best Artifact Cards
In most sets, most of the artifacts aren’t usually that impressive—but Foundations is different. There are quite a few good ones. Five, in fact, that I think are so good they’ll especially stand the test of time.
