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.
Christmas Fiction: A Fantasy Warrior’s Holiday
Merry Christmas, everyone! Thank you so much for being here! The year is almost over, and the next one holds such promise. We’ve featured a lot of stories on the site, tales of horror and tales of odd happenings, but this is Christmas—so it needs to be a happier one.
Friday Fiction: Psychic Snowstorm
If you celebrate Christmas, but you’ve lived your whole life in a place that’s never gotten snow, you’ve probably wished for a white Christmas at least once.
Dawn of the Nugget: A Slap-Stick Dystopia
Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget is inescapably a nostalgia grab of a movie, relying on people like me and our fond memories of the original film. If it weren’t for that history, I’m not sure it would’ve been that big of a deal for there to be a new kid’s movie about chickens attempting to escape being eaten.
It Came From The Archives “Klaus: Instant Christmas Classic”
Klaus is a heartwarming, magical, wonderful film that does what the best Disney and Pixar movies manage and is instantly a classic.
Friday Fiction: Paradoxical Eggnog (Part 1 of 2)
Of all the stories we’ve featured on Sci-Fi Bloggers, I bet you never expected this one to get a sequel.
The Trees Grew Because I Bled There: The Horror Of Being Human
The Trees Grew Because I Bled There is horrific and evocative. A well-earned compliment that applies not only to the title but to every story in this horror anthology. Though, I almost hesitate to use the word “horror” to describe this work.
Doctor Who Special Reviews: The Giggle
The Giggle marks the end of Doctor Who’s trilogy of specials, and, like each one, I enjoyed it a lot and found a core issue. This one is perhaps the most flattering flaw on paper, though, even if I consider Wild Blue Yonder to be the stronger episode overall. Simply put, The Giggle is too short—way, way too short.
Friday Fiction: Snowperson’s Life
For some, this story might be intense existential horror; for others, a different take on a classic science fiction idea with disturbing implications.
Limetown: Should’ve Been A One-Shot?
Limetown is a podcast that follows a young woman attempting to discover the truth about the disappearance of the people of Limetown. She has a particular drive to do so because one of her family members was there in Limetown, and his body was never found.
Doctor Who Special Reviews: Wild Blue Yonder
If Doctor Who: Wild Blue Yonder had been a novelization, it would be in my top ten favorite Doctor Who stories across any season, with any Doctor. Full stop. I love it when Doctor Who leans into horror and the weirder side of the universe.
Friday Fiction: Every Leaf The Same (Part 2 of 2)
Dear reader, if you’re here, then you wondering where on Earth (or alternative versions of such) this story is going. What kind of tale could even progress from such an odd setup?
