Hey, what would you like to know more about on the paranormal? What should I read (right now, reading Undead and Unwed) ? What is your favorite paranormal or sci-fi flick? What do you think about paranormal chick lit? I have started thinking its origins are much earlier than Bridget Jones’ Diary — a century […]

Battle of the Network Zombies
You know I am a sucker for free and cheap. So, if there is something remotely interesting in the Amazon “free” queue for Kindle, I am “buying” it. That’s how I came across Mark Henry’s Battle of the Network Zombies. It reads mostly like Chick Lit. which I said in my last post is generally […]
Paranormal Chick LIt
Completely of subject: Ouch! Just came across a show Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal on the Bio.HD network. Watched it for 5 minutes before realizing it is total crap. Back to my subject Yes, the bubblegum of literature: chick lit. Recently I have been noting that there are many types of literature within the […]
Tarot and a Strange Deck – What do you know?
Yesterday’s post got me thinking about Tarot. I had a deck of Tarot cards when I was younger and my father would not allow their use because he thought they were witchcraft. My Sister gave me a set of strange, antique cards from the Casa Editrice Bietti in Milano, an important publishing house there, that […]
Shadowfever News & Remember? TV Series
Karen Marie Moning announced that the next installment in the Fever series will be moved up to December 7 from the end of that month. Yay! These are books I cannot put down and my husband simply gives up conversing with me while I read these. One of the people she works with, Mia, is […]
What’s Paranormal Anyway? Does Avatar FIt??
I was just pre-ordering my copy of the Blu-Ray/DVD of Avatar by James Cameron an amazing movie and I was thinking could I justify writing about this in my blog? Is Avatar, a Science Fiction film, a Paranormal film and then what constitutes “Paranormal.” Avatar is SciFi in that it uses aspects of space travel […]
Subtle Magic
I was enchanted by Sarah Addison Allen’s first book, Garden Spells about, ostensibly, a family of women and a new neighbor with undertones of edible flowers and catering, a kind of emotional curandera. It was subtly magical, with a tiny bit of the feeling of Hoffman’s Practical Magic.So, when I saw a new book by […]
A Pop Culture Quickie – Fictional Engineers and Weddings
I have to assist my husband in doing some house painting, so today I am going to just note two entries of the paranormal in pop culture into my life: Last night we watched a two part Medium on CBS (There Will Be Blood, Type A and Type B — Episodes 6-17 and 6-18) Joe, […]
Vampire Wars
How about that Pop Culture aspect I promise. Well, for the last two weeks I have been playing Zynga’s Vampire Wars through Facebook. I am pretty sure I am missing something. To start one takes on a name and avatar that you embellish with hair and clothes. My character is “Simpatica.” There are several rating […]
Faeries: Naughty, Nasty & Not So Nice (spoiler alert!)
Today I have been thinking about faeries. Close your eyes, when you think Faerie or Fairy, for that matter, what image pops up? Tinkerbelle? The Fairy Godmother from Cinderella? The Flower Fairies? The Fairies above in “Fairies looking through a Gothic Arch” (John Anster Fitzgerald (1823-1906) out of copyright) are the kind we all remember […]
Outlander Series – What’s All the Fuss About?
It is a gorgeous day here in New England; but I am inside reading free books, stories and excerpts on a site http://bittenbybooks.com/. Am I crazy telling you about other sites; no, I think if I give you info you want you will appreciate it. Besides, I am sure you don’t want to just read […]
Reopening the Vein of DIscussion
So, yes. what do they eat. Obviously Vampires are a different species altogether or they have had some amazing transformation that causes a need for the consumption of blood. In my previous post (4-5-2010) I went over Twilight and the Argeneaus as well as a few other series. I certainly do not profess to have […]

Who’s for Dinner!
“Ask me the most basic question, ‘What do we eat?’” In Twilight, the wildly successful film based on Stephenie Meyers, the Twilight Saga this is how (in paraphrase) Edward admits to Bella that his “special” diet is not because he has an autoimmune disease, or because his parents raised him on totally organic vegetables, but […]
"Easter" Eggs — What Is More Paranormal Than The Secret of Life?
My Dad, gone eleven years now, would have been 82 last week. His parents were both ethnic Greeks from Turkey, having left in the diaspora written about in Egugenides Middlesex. My mom was Italian-American of northern Italian parents who left for the golden streets of America. Gross simplification of the facts there, but to be […]
