Horror Post in Response to the Response to “Post-Horror”

Yesterday the UK newspaper The Guardian published an article titled “How post-horror movies are taking over cinema.” I recommend reading it, not only for context but for writer Steve Rose’s thoughts on recent horror films vs. the history of horror cinema. Don’t expect to give it an A+, though. But I enjoyed the article and […]

The Lost Fort

I spent a large portion of my life in Buffington, a tiny non-city in North Georgia just a mile from the sign pictured in this article detailing an amateur historian’s quest. For a year, we lived in a small house directly across the street from the sign. Yes, I grew up in a place named […]

On a Beating Heart

Read an old Wehunt story – “Have a Blessed Day”

A story of mine from 2013 recently went out of print, so I thought I’d share it on my blog. I find that I still enjoy it, and it gives me a little window into my evolution. “Have a Blessed Day” was originally published in Diabolic Tales III. Enjoy!
