Storytellers using the art of drag to read books to kids in libraries, schools, and bookstores. “DQSH captures the imagination and play of the […]

Who among us hasn’t heard, diplomatically thought, or outright spoken some iteration of, “Do you have a point to make or are you just talking out your ass?” Spoiler alert: It will happen again, but not because of today’s revelations on the historical genre of demonically inspired ass music. This age postures in its conceit […]

“Symbiosis, any of several living arrangements between members of two different species, including mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. Both positive (beneficial) and negative (unfavourable to harmful) associations are therefore included, and the members are called symbionts.” ~ Encyclopaedia Britannica Tonight’s Dark Sentiment is an interesting treatment of symbiosis from the talented hive mind at DUST studios.

It will come as no surprise to you, Goode Reader, that I grew up with a voracious taste for the horror genre. Something I inherited from my Mother as a personal taste, but as such, a seed planted upon fertile soil. The advent of Hammer Films on the screen of Lunenburg’s lofty and creaky Capitol […]
