hypnos: October 2013
http://markmonday.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 21, 2013.

Can there ever really be a reason for such things? It is hard to imagine that reason. But I'...

Wednesday, July 3, 2013. Once upon a time, in response to the question What Would You Like To See In Fantasy, i responded:. 1 i would like to see an old woman as a protagonist. 2 or an interesting demon - but not a 'sexy' PNR demon. 3 or more epic fantasies set in steamy, wet jungles rather than european-style forests or meadowlands. 4 or a YA fantasy series in which the hero grows progressively more villainous. 5 or a hero who is also a slut (male or female). So maybe it is the latter. PAIN! But then i ...

Sunday, February 16, 2014. But Where Are the Werewolves? I Was Promised Werewolves! Published by Grand Central Publishing. 2 Out of 5 Stars. Maybe splice some animal DNA into human DNA and create a super soldier? Anyone have any wolf DNA lying about? Which is all fine and dandy until your super soldier escapes, impregnates a local waitress, and hightails it for Mexico after the townspeople turn against him. And so Loup Garron is born, a child with super-strength and an inability to feel fear. So, the mor...

Professor Steven Brookman is a handsome, Hemingway-masculine, intelligent, and careless instructor. Of course, we know what this means. It's not long before office hours become after hours, and the classroom becomes the bedroom. In terms of plot, there's nothing new or shocking in. Death of the Black-Haired Girl. So, y...
