Hello, and welcome to my world of obsession.

I’m a normal human being who gets overly excited about things sometimes. Things like comics, video games, movies and music, plus a few other things. I also enjoy writing short fiction pieces and haikus – so have a go at those! I sometimes write for other publications, such as the craft zine Snippets, the comic book store Travelling Man’s blog, or really anywhere that’s happy to have me rant about things I love.

Junji Ito, master of horror manga, has a clear whimsical side.

This particular talent of his is more evident than ever in his short manga story, Junji Ito’s Cat Diary.

This is not an original idea whatsoever – I have seen it done at least in Doctor Who and Avatar, and I’m sure many more. It’s like a dream place for book lovers! I was thinking about it one night … More?

The Windshield

She was my second love, after scotch. When you’re alone so long you get used to it; eventually you forget what you’re supposed to be missing out on. You adapt. Learn to thrive. Learn to wear your lonliness like a scarf. Whisky helps.
