Yikes!, Writing // 2 FeedbacksThe novel that I am working on now is a modern-day demon-impregnation story that takes a lot of its research from the Malleus Maleficarum, the book that served as the ultimate inquisitor’s reference during The Inquisition. But since it’s a modern-day demon impregnation story, I’m looking for ways to base at least a few of […]

Posted on October 31st, 2007 by Carlos
Yikes! // Have your say »I really don’t want to link to Curry’s article on how the human race will split into two species: the Beautiful People and the Morlocks. See, because the article is dumb.

Zombie // Have your say »I can’t believe how long I’ve lived without a “Zombie” category. Zombies are everywhere!
Take, for instance, Worth 1000’s Zombie Photoshopping Contest. I love Worth 1000 — they consistently put up great altered photos. And this week’s contest is no exception. If I had to pick a winner, well, among the several exceptionally high-quality entries, I […]
