Horror Is Universal: “The Mummy’s Hand” (1940)

July 31, 2020July 31, 2020 ~ dhimrich ~ Leave a comment

Okay, how do I ease you guys into this...? I haven't done an exact tally on how many views each article in this series has, but I have noticed that people seem to keep coming back to my article on Werewolf of London. I couldn't tell you why. Perhaps it's because it's a more obscure … Continue reading Horror Is Universal: “The Mummy’s Hand” (1940)

Short Story: “The Clown Bicycle Disaster of 1827”

July 27, 2020July 27, 2020 ~ dhimrich ~ Leave a comment

I have no idea how to introduce this story. I think it defies explanation. But let's call it a work of absurdist literature? The only thing I can tell you about where it came from is that I challenged myself to write a piece of short fiction based on three randomly generated nouns, and that … Continue reading Short Story: “The Clown Bicycle Disaster of 1827”

Today on Project Gutenberg we have... Massacres of the South---1551-1815 by Alexandre Dumas If you don't know Alexandre Dumas by name, then you know the names of the stories he wrote. Dumas is best known for The Three Musketeers and its sequels and The Count of Monte Cristo, but his body of work stretches far … Continue reading Today on Project Gutenberg #28

First of all, I'd like to begin this new article by giving a big shout-out to my new team of staff writers. They worked very hard to help me bring you this new piece, and their diligence is much appreciated. So give 'em a big hand! Elsa, Boris, Orlok (our transfer from Germany) and Griffin … Continue reading Horror Is Universal: “The Invisible Man Returns” (1940)

Today on Project Gutenberg we have... East and West: Poems by Bret Harte This is a fascinating find. A contemporary of Mark Twain, Bret Harte was another American writer who penned witty, often satirical tales about life in the West (not that Twain would approve of the comparison; apparently he hated this guy). Harte's area … Continue reading Today on Project Gutenberg #27

Today on Project Gutenberg we have... Willie Mouse by Alta Tabor This, as you probably expect from the title, is a children's picture book. A Google search can't tell me anything about what year it was published or any trivia on the author. I'm not even sure if the title is supposed to be Willie … Continue reading Today on Project Gutenberg #26

Today on Project Gutenberg, we have... Sonny by Rick Raphael With a title as short and nondescript as "Sonny," it's all too easy to overlook this short story at first. But the transcriber's note at the beginning of the PG text tells us that this story was originally published in the April 1963 issue of … Continue reading Today on Project Gutenberg #25
