The Father Of Science Fiction And The King Of Horror
H. G. Wells and Stephen King both share a birthday today. To celebrate I plan to become an Invisible Man, find a girl named Carrie, take her to Salem’s Lot, poison her with a Strange Orchid, hide In The Abyss, show myself just long enough to declare a War On The Worlds in a moment […]
Compositional Contrast
In celebration of my soon-to-be appearance at Elmira’s Hero Bot Con I will do my best to post images of my work on a daily basis.

Happy America Weekend!
July 4th weekend is always a fantastic time of relaxation, great food, and load of people mishandling fireworks. Rather than ranting about how wonderful it was I’ll let this picture explain why I love weekends like this. Stay Patriotic, Ryan Zlomek
Ain’t That The Truth
My sophomore year of college I took an American Detective Literature And Film class to cover my pluralism requirement. Though I was excited that this covered my required history credit, I was ecstatic when I started reading and analyzing detective and crime fiction from the 1930s to the 1950s.
