Mini short story review: Fondly Fahrenheit by Alfred Bester. A delicious twist on Asimov's first law of robotics. All reet all reet! Wonder if this story influenced George RR martin famous scene between Khal Drogo and Viserys. #scifi #shortstory #alfredbester #Georgerrmartin #sciencefiction #sf

No One is Safe! No One is Safe! [Fracassi, Philip, Malfi, Ronald] on Amazon.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. No One is Safe!

I truly believe NO ONE IS SAFE! is my strongest collection to date. Some stories in here have been optioned for film and I personally feel stories like "The Wish", "My Father's Ashes", "Aquarium Diver", "Autumn Sugar" and "Row" are some of my best of the last decade.

The story also employs some folklore elements common to the other stories in the anthology to good effect. I sincerely doubt the movie will live up to source material, though I'll still watch it to see if I'm pleasantly surprised.

...a famed procurer of rare items and rumored shapeshifter herself. Alys agrees, enlists a burly guide named Boyce, and sets off into the titular Lost Lands to hunt a werewolf. I very much enjoyed the adventure that followed. Martin does a lot in a little space. Good characters, details, and action.

...other stories in the anthology it has a medieval feel to it. A post-apocalyptic world is hinted at, but people carry swords, not guns. The story centers around the Lady Melange's desire to be able to transform into a wolf. And so she enlists the services of the aforementioned Gray Alys...

...adaptations of his works. (Paraphrasing as I couldn't find the article again) After watching the trailer and not being impressed, I decided to read the story which just so happens to be in the Amazons II anthology I recently purchased. The short story is quick, clean, and mean, and like the...

Mini short story review: In The Lost Lands by George R.R. Martin. "You can buy anything you might desire from Gray Alys. But it is better not to." So goes the first line, and I was hooked. I decided to read it after seeing an article quoting Martin as saying the movie was one the most faithful...

Can't wait to see The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon.

Godsmacked.

YouTube video by Rob's Dream Theater ♦TV Classics♦ 'PIGEONS FROM HELL' (Thriller S01 E36)

the TV adaption Pigeons from Hell was one of the highlights from Boris Karloff's anthology show: Thriller. Turns out its up on YouTube so guess I'll have to go and give it a watch.

...worked well to create an authentic southern gothic vibe. But overall it wasn't all that scary. Creepy for sure and the scene where Griswell ascends the staircase paid a nice homage to Ambrose Bierce's Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge. In the end it just left me wanting. King also mentions that...

Mini Short Story Review: Pigeons from Hell by Robert E Howard. In Danse Macabre Stephen King called it "one of the finest horror stories of our century." I'm not so sure. The overall racist tone certainly didn't help. The southern plantation setting in the piney woods of Texarkana..

Mini short story review: Southern Lights by Tanith Lee. From Old Moon Quarterly's @oldmoonquarterly.bsky.social recommended reading list. Saw the end coming, but Lee added one last unexpected detail that made it memorable. Look forward to reading Jaisel's other tale: Northern Chess. #Tanithlee

Mini short story review: The Charnal God by Clark Ashton Smith. L. Sprague de Camp's quip "Nobody since Poe has so loved a well-rotted corpse." Is on full display here as the title suggests. A weird retelling of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth. #weirdfiction #shortstories #clarkashtonsmith
