2017 Articles, Fantasy & Fangs, Terrance V. Mc Arthur

by Terrance Mc Arthur

Angel is a zombie. You won’t see her moaning for brains, as long as she’s adequately supplied with freeze-dried brain chips and the fresh stuff she can grab at her morgue-assistant job, and she is the point-of-view character of Diana Rowland’s White Trash Zombie Unchained. She’s foul-mouthed, a former druggie, and recently reassembled after falling apart when the parasite that gives her zombie abilities was damaged by chemical abuse.

by Terrance McArthur

Lizzie Borden took an axe,
And gave her mother forty whacks,
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.
What if Lizzie did kill her father and stepmother…but it was self-defense…because they attacked her…because they were ZOMBIES?

Styx By Bavo Dhooge, With Josh Pachter: Review/Interview/Giveaway

2016 Articles, Cynthia Chow, Fantasy & Fangs, Mysteryrat's Maze

by Cynthia Chow

Although he may only be 40 years old, 16 years as a police detective in Ostend, Belgium, have taken a toll on both Rafael Styx's body and his life. Arthritis cripples his bones and fills every movement with pain, and on the Job he is known for accepting bribes and being unnecessarily brutal. Styx's wife simmers unnoticed with anger due to his affairs and neglect, while his teenaged son rarely utters a few words that aren't filled with hostility. Styx barely manages to tolerate his rookie partner, whose fashion sense and adherence to rules represents everything Styx loathes in the new generation of detectives.

The Walking Dead Game, Season One: Review

I used to be terrified of zombies. If anything zombie-related came on to the screen I couldn’t look. But then I was on YouTube and saw that someone was playing a game called The Walking Dead. I was curious, so I clicked and I’ve been hooked ever since. I realized zombies weren’t scary. There was no reason to be scared of them, ‘cause a zombie apocalypse would never happen. Ever since then, I’ve been obsessed with zombie-related things and The Walking Dead game is at the top of my list.
