Guest Post by Mrs. LFM
Diana | October 29, 2010
Mrs. LFM here this evening. My Mate has granted me the honour of doing a guest post to share my love of dark entertainment. I was introduced to dark stories at a very early age. I thrived on them. Happy endings were for wussies, I liked ’em bleak and dreary. My initiation into that world […]

Some sentiments are dark because they come of ignorance which is the darkest sentiment of all.

Dark Sentiments – Day 24
Randy | October 24, 2010
The thing called Springheel Jack plagued Great Britain from 1837 to 1920. To this day, urban legend born of widespread public hysteria in the day of the “penny dreadful” will no doubt forever cloud the truth, but there is no arguing that something corporeal was molesting the populace. The earliest recorded sighting of Springheel Jack […]
Dark Sentiments – Day 23
Randy | October 23, 2010
In a speech delivered in 1999, physicist Steven Weinberg said, “Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it, you’d have good people doing good things and evil people doing bad things, but for good people to do bad things, it takes religion.” I get endless mileage from the line that if there’s […]
