Farewell, Forry.
2008 | by Chris | 0 comments
Forrest J. Ackerman has passed.
Thank you, uncle Forry, for everything. For Ray Bradbury, for Famous Monsters of Filmland, and even for Sci-Fi. But most of all, thank you for being a truly kind person.
Kat and I met Forry at DragonCon. Kat was wearing a spider-shaped poison ring that was, essentially, a replica of the one Lon Chaney Sr. used to wear. The one Forrest had, with a picture of Chaney in it, and a dab of his makeup.
Forry came over, and sat down next to Kat, and complimented her ... Read more »

This is a good example of why I work at Ziraxia. Where else would I get to do this?

To Everyone Who Voted Yes on Amendment 2.

Thank you for allowing your ridiculous, homophobic fears to run rampant.
You have succeeded in banning something that was already illegal. You have destroyed what rights I had regarding my relationship with my girlfriend of fourteen years in your knee-jerk reaction, your “HOMO BAD!” flailing.
Perhaps next time you could have a more open mind or failing that, read more than the intentionally misleading summary of the law intended to drive an outmoded, “God-fearing” agenda that has no place in ... Read more »

2008 | by Chris | 0 comments
Worlds are colliding. I’m working four jobs right now.
Ziraxia/Red Alert: The same, though I’m changing schedules next week to make Howl-O-Scream work better. We’re doing well. You should buy a shirt here :) Current Writing Gig: Stupidly behind, but almost done. I feel like crap for being late. If you see this, W, Sorry! Howl-O-Scream: Tuesday is dress rehearsal. House looks good this year. Come visit me in Club Muse! Third Eye Games: Doing the website, that’ll be moving here soon.

From horror to slapstick in one easy step.

Horror must be highly orchestrated. If anything is off, it can turn into comedy, and all the tension you’ve built up can disappear in a puff of smoke.
All they changed was the score.

A Song to Say Goodbye
2008 | by Chris | 0 comments
My cat Groucho, my constant companion since he was a kitten 19 years ago, has been ill for a while. He lost a lot of weight over the last month. He’s been fading, despite my best efforts to help him gain weight, to recover. His whole life, he’s been a kitten. Playful. Loving. Last night I spent the entire evening writing with him in my lap or following me around the apartment as best as his wobbly, weak legs could carry him. I knew it was coming. I told him my goodbyes and made sure he knew how ... Read more »

Coming Soon – Mekhet: Shadows in the Dark
2008 | by Chris | 0 comments
Unnoticed and silent, they watch. Their eyes have seen a thousand secrets, and yours are no exception. They are the Shadows that dwell among the Kindred, and everyone knows that the darkness has eyes in the Danse Macabre. Seek their wisdom under cover of night, and discover what awaits the wise and the patient.
A Clan book for Vampire: the Requiem.
The cover is a placeholder, the real deal will be way more interesting, though if that’s who I think it is, she’s quite interesting in her own ... Read more »

Refocusing
2008 | by Chris | 0 comments
I have spent a large part of the last fifteen years celebrating the creativity and work of others. I remain immensely proud of Ex Libris Nocturnis and the things we did there. But it’s time to focus on my own creativity, along with my wonderful and talented fiancée and creative partner, Kat. Evil Spy has always been intended as the home of our collaborative efforts, and now it will focus on that.
It will have bits and bobs from the rest of our creative careers, but the main focus here will be ... Read more »
