Here be dragons.
What is it about zombies that has them becoming so popular. It’s not my thing. I think they are just too creepy and gross to have any feeling of affection for them. Originally, I think, they were reanimated corpses used by Voodoo Priestesses. They were controlled by the Priestess and did not attack or seek out people to attack and eat.… Read the rest
The Gypsy Mermaid is in Barrie this week. She has a Facebook page too. If you were a Gypsy Mermaid where would you travel to?
… Read the restI was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surpriseHe did the mash
He did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
He did the mash
It caught on in a flash
He did the mash
He did the monster mashFrom my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodesThey did the mash
They did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They did the mash
It caught on in a flash
They did the mash
They did the monster mashThe zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolf Man
Dracula and his sonThe scene was rockin’, all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, “The Crypt-Kicker Five”They played the mash
They played the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They played the mash
It caught on in a flash
They played the mash
They played the monster mashOut from his coffin, Drac’s voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook his fist
And said, “Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?”
Today I noticed a couple of Enid Blyton books at the thrift store. I decided not to buy them. Mostly because I have enough to read. I did tuck her name away in my brain and plan to look her up online tonight. I wanted to know she really was and what is said about her now, long after she is able to say (or write) more for herself.… Read the rest
Where do you get ideas for naming characters you write? It’s fairly straight forward to use standard names you hear in the day to day world around you. Have you ever created a name, something never heard before? I think the names in science fiction and fantasy are interesting, the names created out of thin air.… Read the rest
