LITERAL REMAINS

Last May the Centers for Disease Control posted this article on their site, Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse.  That was all a good deal of informative fun, informing the public what to do in case of a real emergency.  At least I hope they aren’t expecting a zombie outbreak. Well, the CDC is at it again, [...]

“Daisy” is a simple little story about love and loss.  It came about because I was trying to write something else, had to stop and think on it, and then wrote “Daisy” instead.  Sometimes, I guess, you just have to exercise your writing muscles some.  Or at least it’s that way for me:  I gotta write [...]

Is there some news item I’m missing?  Is there something going on that we don’t know about?  Why did the Centers for Disease Control (yes, the CDC, the big kids) post on their site a survival guide for a zombie apocalypse? I’m not lying.  Check it out, Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse. A statement from their [...]

Hey, I am finally posting a new story–  “Jeff Dwyer Was An Eagle Scout”.  Hope you like it.  Enjoy. the_novacula

Remember, remember the Fifth of November, The Gunpowder Treason and Plot, I know of no reason Why the Gunpowder Treason Should ever be forgot. Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t’was his intent To blow up the King and Parli’ment. Three-score barrels of powder below To prove old England’s overthrow; By God’s providence he was catch’d With [...]

Yep, I’m checking out early.  If you scroll down the home page, I have posted the remaining articles for the October 2010 countdown.  I’m taking a little vacation, and I’ll be back right here on Literal Remains on November 9th. We at Literal Remains wish you a fun, and safe, Halloween.  We hope you have [...]

I read this over at Dread Central, which got it from Bloody Disgusting. Stories like these are a slippery slope as I recognize that we can’t single-handedly save the world. But it’s just so damn heartbreaking when you see a story like this floating around the Web. Bloody Disgusting Music Editor Jonathan Barkan pointed us [...]

This photo comes from Shock Till You Drop.  Here’s what they say: Pseudo-Pinhead. Pinhead. We’re not sure what moniker this cenobite is taking, but an anonymous tipster just slipped us these photos and we’re pretty certain it is from Hellraiser: Revelations, which recently wrapped in Los Angeles with Victor Garcia in the director’s chair. Who’s [...]

Yes, it is the first full day of Autumn.  And here, in my headquarters tucked away in the middle of the great state of Tennessee, it’s about ninety degrees outside.  It surely don’t feel like Fall.  But it’s in the air, you can feel it.  The leaves are falling, they are turning colors…maybe from the [...]

I just put up a new story, “Caught Between the Twisted Stars”.  It’s the first story I’ve written this year.  I’m pathetic, I know.  But I hope you enjoy it.  It is a zombie story, because, you know, I likey zombies. It’s a short piece, just a “flash”, and I hope you find it a [...]

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m looking forward to seeing this when it debuts Halloween night.  Now, if only I could get around to reading the comic book series.

I like pulp.  Old pulp stories, the classics from those wonderful magazines of yesteryear.  We don’t really have any publications today to match those golden greats, no Amazing Stories, Adventure, Black Mask, The Shadow, The Spider, or Horror Stories.  Street & Smith, I miss you, though I never knew you.  Maybe I was born at the [...]
