I must have a thing for Brad Guigar since this is the second post in a row where I link to him. However, in this case, we are definitely not in agreement. Read what he had to say last week in regards to DC’s current Blackest Night storyline. Feh. I still say this plot reads […]
Still playing Urban Dead, death merely a speed bump
I had a friend email me and ask if I was done playing Urban Dead now that I had died. Au contraire, mon ami. The game has only begun. That would insinuate that I’m now roaming around as a zombie, terrorizing survivors and nibbling tasty brain remnants. This is actually not the case. I got […]
I’m dead, Jim
Looks like I shouldn’t have slept last night. Or at the very least, I should have dragged my butt out of the hot zone. Just another day in Malton.
Urban Dead – still fun
It’s been a couple of weeks since I first starting playing the HTML-based survival horror game with a substantial group from Evil Avatar, but I have to admit, I’m still having fun. By this point with most games I play, I’ve already sucked all the entertainment value out of it and am ready to ditch […]
Urban Dead: it’s like a text-based ‘Night of the Living Dead’…kinda

You join hundreds thousands lots of people online in a persistent world that is one large, sprawling city. You gather up with a group […]
Historical zombie fiction…now history
Well, the deadline was today, and I never submitted my story. It remains unfinished, and likely will indefinitely. The fact of the matter is after having a good conversation with my wife about it, I felt that writing a zombie story–something I have never done before, and an experience I wasn’t overly enjoying–was just not […]
Progress on the zombie story
So, I’m still at it. I’ve been slaving away at an attempt to create a piece of zombie horror fiction set in 16th century England, and I have to admit, I’m really liking it so far. It isn’t painful, like I thought it would be, and the prose is actually coming along nicely. I’m roughly […]
I must be insane…I’m writing zombie fiction
There is obviously something very, very wrong with me. It might have something to do with the hope and optimism of a new year. It might be the elation and freedom I’m feeling from having finally launched my big project at work. It might be the sudden and euphoric lifting of post-holiday stress. Maybe it’s […]
