I have been sitting in front of this computer for quite a while, trying to come up with something interesting to say. I got nothing, y’all. Hence the Seinfeld-esque title of this post. I think my brain may actually be broken this time. The well has run dry. I am out of ideas. Perhaps theContinue reading “A blog about nothing…”

Happy World Dracula Day!
On May 26, 1897, the literary world was gifted with the publication of the one and only Dracula by Bram Stoker. This incredible novel, though initially not well received, has gone on to earn recognition as one of the greatest literary classics of our time. Iterations of this story have appeared not only in literature,Continue reading “Happy World Dracula Day!”
The masquerade…
The doubt and fear begin to fall away. I grasp the mask in my trembling hand. I have worn it like a shield of sorts; it has become a part of me. But the time has arrived to strip the mask away. To yield only that which is true. I claw at the mask withContinue reading “The masquerade…”
Resurrection…
No, this isn’t some zombie-Jesus, Easter holiday type thing. Ladies, gentlemen, vagrants, and vagabonds…your Twisted Libra has returned! Forgive the prolonged absence. That pesky thing we call real life sometimes gets in the way. Since my last post, I have had quite the busy personal and professional schedule. This prevented me from haunting the cemeteryContinue reading “Resurrection…”
The macabre heart flutters today…
This day is special. It is significant. It should be celebrated. No, not because of some ridiculous excuse for companies to sell cards and flowers; on this day 90 years ago…Dracula made its silver screen debut! The date was February 14, 1931. What began as a Bram Stoker novel and grew into a Hamilton Deane/JohnContinue reading “The macabre heart flutters today…”
Escaping reality…
This week, I began reading Dracula by Bram Stoker. For the third time. In truth, it is the only book I have ever read more than once, aside from the Scary Stories or Tales for the Midnight Hour series. Each time I read it, I find a new sense of enjoyment for it. This timeContinue reading “Escaping reality…”
Something a little lighter…
I don’t have much to say today. Nothing profound, at least. However, I did write something a while back that I felt like sharing here today. Enjoy! I open my eyes in the darkness, yet somehow I am able to see.Although I lie on a satin cushion, wood rests around and in front of me.AContinue reading “Something a little lighter…”
Two roads diverged in a wood…
I woke this morning to learn that some fortunate soul (not me) won an insanely large sum of money last night in the lottery. Can you imagine? I wouldn’t even know where to begin. It got me thinking, as such situations often do, about where I would like to travel if money was not anContinue reading “Two roads diverged in a wood…”
Waking up…
I started writing again today. I woke up this morning with an excellent short story in my head, so I have begun working on it today. It feels good to be inspired again, to know my voice has returned. The hiatus was long and difficult. Today, I feel content. I feel a sense of peaceContinue reading “Waking up…”
Oh, how time slips away…
Today marks one year since I lost someone very close to me. I won’t go into details here, but this morning I find myself thinking about loss. Thinking about how we, as human beings, deal with loss; particularly that of a loved one. The dead live on through our memories, brought forth by bouts ofContinue reading “Oh, how time slips away…”
