(Hello! Welcome to a new mini-series of sorts I’m calling “It Came From The Archives!” where we highlight old articles that we’ve had on the site. Don’t worry, there’s still plenty of our usual content coming out, we just wanted to pay tribute to our older articles. Enjoy this blast from the past!) I awaited…
I awaited the release of Star Wars: The Old Republic for over two years. Much of that time was spent listening to the greatest podcast I’ve ever heard, which later became the lamest podcast I’ve ever heard, which from there became an “all right” to “decent” podcast, ultimately surpassed by other shows which I didn’t…
Ever liked a book, and in some portions even loved it, but hated the main character? It’s certainly a first for me. Never before have I so thoroughly enjoyed a story, but only when it went away from the protagonist. That’s not to say that the main character, a pilot by the name Marcus Powell,…
I think there might be something wrong with science fiction writers. Which is quite the statement, because I am a science fiction writer. Why do we like to end the world so much? What is so inherently appealing about destroying it? Is it because we have a grudge against society, and this is our way…
Count Spatula unbinds the Editor-in-Chief. The man falls to the floor, clutching his wrists. The count tells him that he has done all he’s needed to. Now, with a weapon pressed against his back, the Fictionmonger will announce Dylan Alexander’s latest work. …I understand but—GAH! Okay! You don’t have to be so—just let me do…
Today, I was fortunate enough to get to see a special private screening of the short film “Chomp”, directed by Lynne Hansen. A horror-comedy piece that seeks to make fun of all the zombie media that has come out as of late, it lampoons it with the campy story of a man who is mistaken for…
Dredd (2012) from DNA Film Productions Author’s Note: Lest my readers be confused, this is a special edition of the “Retro Review” series in that this film is not retro at all. The reason for this is two-fold. First, the British sci-fi comics series about Judge Dredd, set in post-apocalyptic America, are fairly important in…

Season two of Once Upon a Time decided to take its format in a different direction by splitting into two volumes. The idea itself was good but the execution left something to be desired. The first half of the season deals with Snow White/Mary Margaret (played by Ginnifer Goodwin) and Emma (played by Jennifer Morrison)…

I like the idea of living in space or on another planet as much as the next person–that is to say, when I think about it, I don’t dislike it. It appears, however, that someone in Russia is a lot more in love with the idea of having an address with a lunar postal code….
If you’re really looking for something dreadful to watch, I recommend Showtime’s Victorian horror series Penny Dreadful. Not to be confused with the 2006 automobile horror film of the same name, Penny Dreadful boasts a star-studded cast of actors to inhabit its equally impressive roster of literary heroes. So far, it echoes the gorgeously gory…
