jason | re | campbell: Short Review of Casting the Runes, M. R. James
http://jasonrecampbell.blogspot.com/2012/07/a-short-review-of-casting-runes-m-r.html
Monday, July 23, 2012. Short Review of Casting the Runes, M. R. James. M R James is universally acknowledged as the grand master of the English ghost story who strongly influenced H. P. Lovecraft, Ramsey Campbell, and Stephen King. James is subtle, introducing supernatural elements slowly and carefully, often leaving unanswered questions about the reality of his characters' experiences. Many of his stories remain genuinely creepy today. Posted by Jason Campbell. Monday, July 23, 2012. The haunted place- ...

jason | re | campbell: A group writing project
http://jasonrecampbell.blogspot.com/2007/08/group-writing-project.html
Thursday, August 16, 2007. A group writing project. Last night at Men's Bible Study, Tim. Confessed to having some troubles sticking with his writing discipline, a difficulty that several of us shared. He listed as one of his goals to write and post once per week a fiction project of some kind. We discussed some of the ways to organize and spur that, one suggestion being the launch of (yet another) blog. The ridiculousness of fantasy football. What if armies were organized like this? A good idea, however...

http://jasonrecampbell.blogspot.com/2008/04/review-of-princess-of-mars-edgar-rice.html
Tuesday, April 8, 2008. Review of A Princess of Mars - Edgar Rice Burroughs. When fans of science fiction think fondly upon the roots of their beloved fiction genre, most tend to think of H. G. Wells or Jules Verne. Less commonly known of early science fiction writers was Edgar Rice Burroughs. The same author who gained worldwide fame with his series of Tarzan stories began his novel-writing career in 1912 with A Princess of Mars. Full text available here. John Carter decides that he will be this woman...

Friday, July 13, 2012. Short Review of The Ugly Chickens, Howard Waldrop. Thanks to John O'Neill, editor of the fantastic (in every sense of the word) Black Gate Magazine. Think of the dodo as a baby harp seal with feathers. I know that's not even close, but it saves time. Read it online here. For free. ( Update:. Looks like the folks took the page down; no doubt the volume of estimable readers of Black Gate swamped them! Posted by Jason Campbell. Friday, July 13, 2012. Wow Thats not much to go on, but i...

http://jasonrecampbell.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-hymn-of-consola-short-story-by.html
Wednesday, August 22, 2012. The Hymn of Consola: a short story by Jason R. E. Campbell. As of August 20, 2012, I am now a (self) published author. Now that I am swimming the waters of self-publishing (thank you James Wood. For your invaluable assistance and encouragement! My plan is to forge ahead with another four published short stories by year's end. You can expect more of the same sort of genre mixed with some adventure fantasy I've been working on for the last few months. But with the passage of tim...

jason | re | campbell: MI4: Three Things They Nailed
http://jasonrecampbell.blogspot.com/2012/01/mi4-three-things-they-nailed.html
Monday, January 2, 2012. MI4: Three Things They Nailed. Mission Impossible 4 is a Hollywood first for one very important reason. Never in the history of cinema has the fourth installment in a very tired series been leagues better than all its predecessors. In fact, I'm looking to buy tickets now for MI5 because of the trend (1 = terrible, 2 = really bad, 3 = barely watchable, 4 = quite good, 5 =? The filmmakers got three things right in this movie:. Bad Guys are bad guys, but physics is much, much worse.

jason | re | campbell: Why should good deeds fade like mist?
http://jasonrecampbell.blogspot.com/2012/09/why-should-good-deeds-fade-like-mist.html
Saturday, September 8, 2012. Why should good deeds fade like mist? The haunted place- marked by foul deeds that have left their residue to linger until their hold is broken- this is a common trope in supernatural fiction, drawn no doubt from myths, legends, and speculation about actual experiences that are difficult for the materialist to explain. I offer here for your reflection an excerpt from Secret Worship. Harris stammered, aghast. The danger, then, was real. They were alive and—" Words fa...It was ...

Tuesday, August 14, 2012. Short Review of The Voice in the Night, William Hope Hodgson. 8220;Put away the light.”. 8220;I’m damned if I will,” I muttered; but Will told me to do as the voice bade, and I shoved it down under the bulwarks. 8220;Come nearer,” he said, and the oar-strokes continued. Then, when apparently some half-dozen fathoms distant, they again ceased. 8220;Come alongside,” exclaimed Will. “There’s nothing to be frightened of aboard here! 8220;Promise that you will not show the light?

jason | re | campbell: Different Kinds of Sermons
http://jasonrecampbell.blogspot.com/2012/01/different-kinds-of-sermons.html
Wednesday, January 11, 2012. Different Kinds of Sermons. I'm preparing for a sermon series starting on January 15th. I've preached a few times since Cascade Hills, but it's been a while since I've put this much into a single run of preaching. I'm remembering that there are a few different kinds of sermons in terms of how they "feel" to put together and deliver. There are the textual. There are the medicinal. There are of course the rallying cry. Sermons, broad-reaching treatments of biblical themes that ...
