This is an interesting read. Like 99% of everything on the Internet, we cannot be sure about its veracity. You need entire sacksful of salt when you’re reading anything on the Internet. One does wish they’d done a little better at establishing the rules early on, doesn’t one? Allowing *anybody* to post *anything* online, with…

Maribelle looked at the creature. “Adam,” she said. “He said that he had another name once,” Judith said. She pressed herself against the bars. “He told me that the Natarajans called him ‘Singh.’ The Sanskrit word for ‘lion.’ Not very imaginative, were they?” Judith touched the creature’s forearm with her fingers. “I am trying,” she…

Hamm looked like an overgrown child dodging the slaps of the little girl whose pigtails he had just yanked. He laughed, delighted, as the pieces of the cattle prod bounced off his shoulder and hit the floor. The rent-a-cop laughed too. “Least he ain’t a monkey!” Hamm said as he laughed. “Monkeys throw shit!” “Mr.…

I’m feeling sad already. My favorite show on television, THE SECRET OF SKINWALKER RANCH on the History Channel, is about to wrap up its second season. In this case, “season” is a relative term. Back in the days of standard network television, the average length for a television series was 22 episodes, or sometimes 24.…

Does the title of this one refer to the werewolf being hunted by people who want to put a stop to its predations? Or to the werewolf hunting down its prey? Who, or what, is the party on the receiving end of the hunting, exactly? “When a mysterious animal attack leaves a mutilated body in…

Ugh. Terrible title. (The “ugh” is in reference to that, not to the movie itself, which is quite enjoyable.) They *should* have called this one THE DEAD MONTH. Once you see the film you’ll understand why that’s the perfect and perfectly obvious choice for a title. I don’t know why they didn’t go with that.…

The cage, its metallic floor covered with straw, comprised the center of the room, with the lab and all its tables and equipment surrounding it. Video monitors mounted here and there on the bland white walls displayed the interior of the cage from various angles. The hallway with the windows terminated at a door that…

Maribelle drove into the parking garage with the windows of her Toyota Camry rolled down. It was hot out, but she still hadn’t been able to get used to air-conditioning again. It gave her a headache. One of the several ways in which Africa had left its stamp on her. She’d been home now for…

I haven’t seen it yet. I haven’t had the opportunity to see it yet. I hope to remedy that soon, but it’s not all up to me. The film will show at the Tribeca Film Festival in June before getting a limited theatrical release on June 25, 2021, after which it will be available for…

Spend any time perusing social media and you’ll soon learn that there are three types of fans regularly commenting on the subject of the show THE SECRET OF SKINWALKER RANCH. Type number one is the true believer. Type number two…is just annoying. “It’s all FAKE!” they snidely announce, as if they possess some special insider…
