Dead by Midnight?

Stefon Mears — Official Website Posted on April 8, 2013 by StefonJuly 24, 2013

I feel sorry for the new Evil Dead movie. It’s hard to remake a much-beloved film, a cult classic enjoyed as thoroughly for its B-movie sensibilities and shoestring budget as for its horror. And people sometimes forget that the original … Continue reading →

What’s Worse Than Zombies?

Stefon Mears — Official Website Posted on March 25, 2013 by StefonJuly 24, 2013

Zombies from modern zombie movies represent just about the nastiest threat out there. They come in after you waves, in mobs. Some are fast. They never stop. A plague, an army that converts as it kills. Even if they don’t … Continue reading →

Oddities from My Bookshelf – The Necromican

Stefon Mears — Official Website Posted on March 20, 2013 by StefonSeptember 23, 2015

Stefon Mears — Official Website Posted on March 12, 2013 by StefonJuly 24, 2013

I’m irritated with Marion Zimmer Bradley. I’m reading a collection of essays about writing called How to Write Tales of Horror, Fantasy and Science Fiction (edited by J.N. Williamson), and I just finished MZB’s essay, “World Building in Horror, Occult, … Continue reading →

Stefon Mears — Official Website Posted on March 8, 2013 by StefonJuly 24, 2013

I thought about writing a post about this, but honestly I think it speaks for itself.  Leave a comment and let me know what you think.  Personally I love it, and I particularly enjoy the depth of their Tolkien references.  … Continue reading →
