Shores of Night: Fairytales For Boys
http://shoresofnight.blogspot.com/2015/08/fairytales-for-boys.html
Friday, 14 August 2015. The fairy tale is one the bedrocks of western culture. Cautionary tales of wonder and delight, they were created, and eventually written down, to provide moral or simple lessons to live your life by and became of particularly significance for the education and socialisation of children in the early Nineteenth Century. They are about more than just entertainment, but imparted disguised wisdom and common sense. He notes that in just two years, 1810 and 1812, Snow White. Or The Tinde...

Shores of Night: October 2014
http://shoresofnight.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 22 October 2014. Monsters as Metaphor: Zombies. By contrast the zombie’s original Haitian form arose from fears of a Bokor, a Voudon priest that. Prior to Romero's films zombies made a small mark within cinema and culture. The most obvious example is White Zombie. The way it could for Dracula. It was not until the 1960s that the idea of the zombie as a creature of mass terror took off. Within horror, this may have been inspired by Richard Matheson’s I am Legend. It's really only in the last de...

Shores of Night: Liverpool and Lesley
http://shoresofnight.blogspot.com/2015/08/liverpool-and-lesley.html
Sunday, 9 August 2015. As you might be able to tell. she could, and so I bolted out of the house yesterday morning and headed up that way on the train from Birmingham New Street, past the many buddleias that line the railway tracks, to Liverpool. I came away feeling refreshed, and like it had been a day well spent. along with a small determination that I should head back that way before another decade passes.

Shores of Night: July 2015
http://shoresofnight.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Friday, 31 July 2015. What do we mean by patriotism? A note here: I don't consider myself particularly patriotic. There are things I'm proud of, that happened in my country; I'm not sure if that's sufficient to make me dyed in the wool. In the way of these things, one of those internet quizzes you find at sites like Buzz Feed or Play Buzz, got me thinking about what it meant to be a patriot in the UK. Setting these things aside, do we have anything concrete to base it on? Or is that too weak a concept?

Shores of Night: January 2015
http://shoresofnight.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, 17 January 2015. Apocalypse Junkie: V for Vendetta. A man in a Guy Fawkes costume strikes fear into the hearts of fascists in 1997, spouting strange verse and using science as a weapon. It could only be a scene from V for Vendetta, a bizarre comic strip that began its life in Warrior, 2000AD's long dead sibling comic book; later V would be completed and published by DC Comics. Women are really the losers in V, forced into the roles of wives, mothers, sex objects or servants. To return to V's tr...

Shores of Night: Edge Lit 4
http://shoresofnight.blogspot.com/2015/07/edge-lit-4.html
Tuesday, 14 July 2015. Lastly, we attended the Knight Watch Press launch of. lots of books (I'll leave you to Google them). The readings were good and the anthologies sound brilliant, so I would encourage you to support them if you can. They serve brain cake, which I did not partake of because brains give me the wiggins.

Shores of Night: June 2015
http://shoresofnight.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, 25 June 2015. Ad Copy for World of Darkness Games. Do you think these work? I'm just playing around with potential ads for some of the games I'm thinking of running. The World of Darkness is often the setting I feel the most affinity for and find easiest to put things together for; I find that Vampire and Werewolf are quite comfortable. Same game but different time periods really). Two courts, in opposition. Set upon victory or death. Dark forces loose on Paris' streets. Where will you stand.
