(F6) Warning: Supernatural Forces at Work

*cue X-files music* You have entered… the Twilight Zone. Please, leave your shoes, jacket, and personal belongings on the front step. You won’t be needing them.

GOTCHA! I couldn’t resist a good old-fashioned leg-pulling. (No, not Chinese torture.) Now, onto today’s feature…

(F1) Cotard's Syndrome: The Zombie Mind

(comicadze.com)

Okay, so we should probably start this off with a BANG, right? That’s what I have for you today. It’s one man’s insight into a convoluted Psychological disorder (come on, you saw this coming) called Cotard's Syndrome.

AUTHOR: Andrew Kincaid is extremely versatile online and in life. He used to have this horrific blog called Stygian Underground (A Glimpse into the Darker Side of Life), which was the place where all the cool vamps, zombos, and creepy dolls went. But since Andrew wanted to merge it with his other blog (Lucid Dreams and Saturn Skies, which is more eclectic), he came to me with this homeless puppy (a.k.a. article), which I had to adopt because I’m a bleeding heart, mostly.

Hook Those Bitches and Bastards

Yes, of course I mean the readers. I stopped by the local bookstore today (WHSmith), curious to see if there was anything new and interesting. Quckly, I realized that most of those books on the main shelves, on promotion, on the back shelves, and genre shelves all captured my attention in a different way. However, most did not capture it one bit.

How are we supposed to judge and pick out new books to read? Do we trust the reviews? I don’t. Do we judge by the blurb? I hope not, seeing as most blurbs are incredibly dull and predictable. Do we judge by the cover and/or title? I know I shouln’t do that but those are the first things I see, so why not? (Today the award for most creative title at the bookstore went to When God Was a Rabbit by Sarah Winman. Isn’t it wonderful?)
