Read that last sentence in either Vincent Price’s voice, or the Crypt Keeper’s–either works. Meanwhile, you can read some of them here before they disappear. An additional volume will feature non-dark fantasy and sci-fi fare. No title for … Continue reading Coming soon
Eccentric tech mogul and cult leader Richard Kryuss has developed a system of storing and transmitting data organically, connected by trees containing within their DNA the entirety of recorded human knowledge.

I … Continue reading An Omen?
