Craven
“Tell me. What is it you fear most?” the shapeless creature asked, “I want the joy of feasting on your terror.” Try as he might, the traveller couldn’t help but stare into the blood-red eyes glistening before him. Save for his perpetual fear, those piercing eyes were the only constant in this foreign world. The atmosphere seemed a swirling mixture of purple and grey mist, and his body, seemingly suspended in mid-air, felt as though it were being moved about by the tremendous beating of his own heart. Somehow, the creature knew he was afraid despite the brave face the traveller wore. Perhaps it was the moment he let out a stifled whimper when the monster shrouded him in shadow and dragged him into the underworld. He had been in many perilous situations before, and just like his present condition, he found himself turned around and lost for a way out.

Blood Suckers
Hands up if you love vampires! That’s what I thought. The blood-sucking undead doesn’t even love themselves. I’d know, I’ve seen the movies. In Dracula’s own words right there in Stephen Sommers’s Van Helsing movie; ‘NO! I have no heart, I feel no love. Nor fear, nor joy, nor sorrow. I am hollow… and I will live forever.’ Who would love such a loveless hollow creature?

The Fall and Rise of a Creeper
I’m never good at starting a discussion about the Jeepers Creepers franchise. There are so many ways to frame that particular conversation and, as someone who has all three movies in his collection, I’m probably having that conversation more than the global average.

The Creature in Pawtuckaway Lake
The Thaw The barely there sunlight tickled her eyelids open that first morning on the lake and they fluttered prettily in the still air of the bedroom. The right side of her face mashed against the pillow, she stared lazily out the window at the serene lake.

Story About Rose
When Black Rose was just three years old her mother left her. She was raised by her drunken father who didn’t care for her. All he cared about is staying drunk. She was made fun of all through school ‘cause she didn’t have her mother around. All through she was unstable and violent. All she wanted to be someone excepted her, that’s when she ran into a group of people that excepted her with all her troubles and trouble past. It wasn’t long until one of the guys named Luca sparked her interest. Over months of being together all the time, their relationship progressed quickly, until one night when she and Luca were alone. It was the night Luca was going to make her one of them (Vampire). Rose didn’t know what he was, all she cared about was she was alone with him for the first time since meeting him. When Rose woke up the following morning she was alone and she had bite marks on her neck and arms with blood stained on her lips. She couldn’t remember what happened the night before. All she could remember is that she was with Luca and everything else was just gone from her mind. All she knew is that her throat was burning and dry. She walked in the kitchen to get herself a glass of water, as she started drinking it she ended up spitting in out everywhere. Then something hit her hard all over her body, she didn’t know what was going on. All of a sudden her hearing got stronger that she could hear people talking a block or two away from her house. Then she started smelling something like rust and it keeps getting stronger and stronger than when she realized she picked up the smell of blood, the smell made her throat start burning again, but this time it started feeling so uncomfortable like someone was pouring acid down her throat. She was holding onto the edge of the counter as her head started spinning with all these questions. She was trying to figure out what was happening to her. When she finally came to she realized she held a piece of her counter in her hand. As she was trying to gather her thoughts, she heads to the bathroom, as she turns on the light and looked into the mirror she didn’t she but a stranger look back at her she saw that there was something different about her that she couldn’t figure out. She saw that her skin was paler than usual, her eyes had dark circles around them. As she was looking at herself in the mirror to see if there were any other changes, she felt something sharp stick her finger and her bottom lip. So she started checking around her mouth to see if something was there that’s when she saw that her two top k9’s were swallowing and sore. That’s when she saw that they were longer than usual and sharp. That’s is when she knew whatever happened that night with Luca had changed her life forever. She needed to find Luca and the others, she wanted answers. But before she could think where to start looking that’s when her thirst for blood started taking over.

Hunt for the Kansan sewer man
This is another hunt on my time as a solo investigator and in this one, I hunt for the locally famous but little known cryptid called, sewer man of lawrence Kansas. As doing so I am hunting the sewer man (a creature who can project onto EVP devices but itself isn’t a ghost but a physical demonic entity) and as said above once again I am doing a single investigation I did since I lost my first team and lost my first attempt at a start of a new team and I’ve been doing single hunts ever since then while I still am looking for a new team.

Hunt for the Roseville cavemen
When I was five, I had my first run in with the paranormal. “Night son” shaliesh radford (my adopted father) said as he shut the door to my room. I lay in my bed just as I drifted to sleep BAM!!! the door slams open with such force that the Handel puts a whole in the wall, it was as if someone in a anger forced it open, in fear I hid under my covers for a full minute before un-covering myself and gathering my courage I got out of bed, my black nike socks touching the wood floor as I go to the air vent to see if it was on and to my surprise it wasn’t, I then checked to see if my parents were asleep, sneaking down out 2 story, 3bedroom 4bath house to there room to find them fully asleep “what the hell” I said to myself... Of course I got grounded as my parents didn’t believe my explanation of that nights events, although I still was allowed to go to the gym (yes as a kid I was a big gym guy had a real lean muscles body vs the frame I have now, a lean yet slight pot bellied build albeit despite the slight roundness you can still see outline of the 6-pack I use to have and with just some toning up I will easily have them again)

Symbolic Monsters of Legend - Werewolves
Werewolves are trickled throughout various folklores from Mesopotamia to Ancient Greece to the Nords to 14th century Western Europe. Their historical interpretations and even their modern representations have consistently been portrayed in bloodshed, shape-shifting, and animalistic instinct. I'm going to explore the symbolism of werewolves to further understand the beastial intrigue of this monster of legend and then propose my own interpretation.

Insect Scream Queens: A Look at Insects in Horror
Whether its their ability to reproduce/evolve quickly, their alien like appearance and movements, or their association with disease and death; we've been conditioned by society to fear bugs. All the reasons why people are scared of insects are the same reasons why I love and am fascinated by them. Along with my love for horror, it's surprising up until recently I have just finished reading "Insect Princess"; a horror manga about insects. Although I was very disappointed with the plot, the art was enough for me to complete the full three volumes. "A dark romance about a high school boy who falls helplessly in love with a beautiful girl who has to eat people to survive." Just like the main character you can't help but fall in love with her too. But falling in love means not only her human side but her insect "monster" half as well.
