In my last post, I talked about zombies as romantic heroes. But among the undead, is there any romantic hero more popular than the vampire? From Edward in Twilight to the Black Dagger Brotherhood in J.R. Wards series, the vampire represents danger, allure, mystery, and desire. What is it about vampires that draw us in? For one thing, […]

Anyone who knows me knows that I have an undying love for Jensen Ackles. It’s deep and it’s real. I’ve loved him since before Supernatural, since the Smallville days. And this movie… it’s one of my favorites. It’s an indie flick that never made it to theaters, instead going straight to DVD release in 2009. So, it has […]
So, ever since I read The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood, I’ve been obsessed. It was only when Hulu began advertising the show that I read it, but it was one of those books that became part of the fabric that is me, right along with the show. But, in truth, my love for dystopian/utopian stories began […]
