September 2, 2008Over at the Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles forum, there’s an interesting post looking for vampire novels that are devoid of the romantic and horror elements. Whenever I think of vampires, I always either think of the classic horror stories (i.e. Nosferatu or Dracula) or the current urban fantasy/para-romance books (i.e. Dark Lover or Halfway to [...]

July 28, 2008Amber has been showing me all these new artists so I thought I would spotlight some of the ones that I already like as well as add them to the side panel. I’m always looking for new artists, especially ones I might be able to find at Allposters so I can decorate my new [...]

July 27, 2008I have to hand it to Amber, I tend to find some really great items over at her site. This time around, artist Rachel Anderson. It’s a bit feminine, but completely fantastical and I like her work. If I had a little girl at home, I think I would know where to [...]
