One of the most humbling moments as a writer is when someone asks if they can edit an anthology, set in a world you have created. This happened a few years ago, and I’m so grateful to David T Griffith for adeptly steering this title through the A QUIET APOCALYPSE universe.

This is an excellent long read on love and language in Clive Barker’s HELLRAISER. For all us hellbound hearts, @kitwhitfield.bsky.social has hit the nail (pin?) on the head.
“A second in pain lasts longer than a second in bliss. A scar doesn’t go away.”
“A second in pain lasts longer than a second in bliss. A scar doesn’t go away.”
The Hellraiser sequels failed because they forgot the love story. Not romantic love. The brutal, necessary intimacy between a Cenobite and a truly Hellbound heart. Check out Kit Whitfield's discussion of the films

How Do You Make A Hellraiser? The Secret Ingredient Is Love. No, Really. - The Ginger Nuts Of Horror Review Website
We dig into the Hellraiser franchise's core: why the Cenobites aren't demons, the "Hellbound heart" archetype, and how the 2022 reboot misunderstands the love story at its center.

Omnibus editions of my dystopian series A Quiet APOCALYPSE arrive courtesy of my publisher. A sad sign of the times, perhaps, but requests for and sales of copies are on the increase. Also included, a photo of Deaf activist and Emmy nominated director, Nyle DiMarco, a staunch advocate of the series.

Grimdark with Gaelic teeth. Raven Dane’s ‘Bailfire and Brimstone’ is a revenge-soaked trek through a rotten 1600s. Morally grey characters meet folklore monsters in a book where the atmosphere is the true protagonist. Gritty and compelling.

I think the Stranger Things ‘secret episode’ rumour kind of sums up the internet fandom mindset, and that’s “I think, therefore it is”. Reality isn’t quite as easy.
