THE BODY OF HORROR- CRONENBERG CD

Filed under: CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES — 2 Comments
March 13, 2022

Eighth Tower Records is proud to release a compilation of music inspired by the cinema of the legendary Canadian director David Cronenberg, sound companion to the upcoming literary ANTHOLOGY. More than a cult filmmaker, a true legend of the contemporary cinema, Cronenberg inspired an unimaginable number of artists all over the world and in every field of artistic expression. Cronenberg’s signature is a mix of graphic sex and violence broadly known as “body horror.” His work explores human fears and desires not commonly expressed in cinema, such as disease, aging, mental illness, and sexual fetishism. “Everybody’s a mad scientist, and life is their lab. We’re all trying to experiment to find a way to live, to solve problems, to fend off madness and chaos.” – David Cronenberg

Previously unreleased music by:
Sigillum S (Italy), Desiderii Marginis (Sweden), Sonologyst (Italy), Mario Lino Stancati, Schloss Tegal (US), dodenskald (Iran), UNCODIFIED (Italy), Jarl (Sweden), Mortar Devotions (Italy /Finland), Kloob (Spain).

Mastered by Raffaele Pezzella (Sonologyst)

HACK TO THE FUTURE

Filed under: TORMENTED THOUGHTS — Leave a comment

Continuing my guide to scouting out “The Eternal,” we come to a very interesting group of futurists that I belong to; “Singularity University.” Here I get to rub elbows with the greatest minds and entrepreneurs working on the silly notion of solving all the world’s ills, in online chatrooms full of brilliance and a lot of shyness. I also delve into Media overload and how I may be sick of your shit, hahaha. Read the always brief, always surprising blog that five out of five Physicists call “Schwarzeneggerian.” Links to essay and group below:

ABOVE US ONLY SKY

February 25, 2022

Imagine all the people sharing all the world. In my Labyrinth Creators Journal to close out February, I get into the ways I cultivate my need to engage The Eternal in my everyday existence. Something that gives us a direct and personal attachment to the realities of the past is our own Genealogy, the hunt for which does not have to be an expensive proposition. I also talk about a group that is near and dear to me battling to eliminate religious dogma from our public policies. Get stimulated tonight by this always brief always electric bugaloo heading toward 4000 readers.

THE LEAST OF MY BROTHERS

Filed under: TORMENTED THOUGHTS — Leave a comment
February 15, 2022

Jesus’ teachings must have been some kind of wake-up call as he was imparting them, and certainly rich and poor witnesses alike gave weight to his oratory and went forth to emulate him. One such young man, in my Science Fiction story “Lepers of Golgotha” finds himself therefore involved in a phenomenon unique in all of history. In my latest Labyrinth Creators Journal, I discuss my lifelong obsession with Mankind’s creation, Religion, and my decades as an eager Catholic acolyte. Read the always short, always revelatory Writer’s Journal that 3K/4K unique readers can’t give up for Lent.

THE INVISIBLE SCRIBE

Filed under: TORMENTED THOUGHTS — Leave a comment
January 30, 2022

Screaming into a void? Putting it out there but it’s trapped in here? Feeding minds but no feedback? One has to wonder when one’s domination of the universe will begin, and with a bang, or even a whimper? This Labyrinth Creators Journal ponders the age old question, if the Pope shits in the woods does it make a sound? Read the always brief, always relevant book of essays that talks about my story involving two RI folk legends coming together to make a splash, but not yet breaking water.

POE LITTLE FOOL

Filed under: BURNT OFFERINGS — Leave a comment
January 18, 2022

Edgar Allan Poe spent time in my state capitol of Providence Rhode Island courting the lovely Sarah Whitman, going to The Hot Club, hanging in the streets, drinking slurpees and getting involved with an ATV gang. Young punk successor HP Lovecraft comes along and wallows in his hero’s footsteps, brooding at the same cemetery, the nerve. My supposed sequel to The Cask of Amontillado, a story entitled “The Aftertaste,” spermed on these memories in me, and now you can read about it in the latest Labyrinth Creators Journal. Visit the always brief, always entertaining blog that you’ll enjoy despite Poe’s one word review, “Nevermore.”

YOU REMIND ME OF THE MAN

Filed under: BURNT OFFERINGS — 2 Comments
December 31, 2021

“What man?”
“The man with the power.” “What power?” “The power of Voodoo.” “Voodoo. Who do?” “You do.” “Do what?” “Remind me of the man…” I saw that bit decades before “Labyrinth” with David Bowie, in Cary Grant’s “The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer.” Be that as it may, this time in the Labyrinth Creators Journal we continue our discussion of the African and Haitian religious rituals that inspired my “Resurrection Cemetery.” Leave no headstone unturned by checking in with this always brief, always delightful blog that leaves over 3000 readers staring like White Zombies at their computers and phones.

YOU CAN SYNDICATE ANY BOAT YOU ROW

December 2, 2021

Watching Peter Jackson’s film of The Beatles: Get Back for three nights straight right before my Birthday has made me wistful about the Fab Four’s place in my heart and mind throughout my life, especially my all-time biggest socially-conscious hero, John Lennon. I couldn’t help but take a pause to wax poetically about the Liverpool Lads in my latest Labyrinth Project Creators Journal over at The Immortal Artist out of New Orleans. Read the always brief, always thoughtful, always entertaining blog that brought me from fool on the hill to paperback writer.

DO DO THAT VOODOO

Filed under: BURNT OFFERINGS — 4 Comments
November 14, 2021

Flash Fiction was something I’d never heard of when I got one of my first acceptances to a paying website. Though the content was small, the idea and the research was big, to inject some realistic Louisiana Voodoo practice into a story about a heartbroken bride who’d recently lost her mother. I had been fascinated by the religious practice brought over to New Orleans by African slaves ever since some horror movies awakened me to it as a child. In the Labyrinth Project Creators Journal we begin to probe my lifelong exploration and look at some of its inspirations, starting with “The Oblong Box” 1969.

THY ROD AND THY STAFF

Filed under: TORMENTED THOUGHTS — 3 Comments
October 31, 2021

As you made your way to the Russian Erotic Museum in Saint Petersburg today, I hope you did your best not to let Jenny tail ya’. Many a spy would follow those that would seek a glimpse of the great Russian holy man Grigori Rasputin’s holy business, and it is indeed an oddity that is hard to keep under wraps. When my character of Tatiana, a young ad executive in Manhattan, gets ahold of the legendary relic through family ties, it changes her in ways she could not have foreseen. Mainly it’s because the old rapscallion’s ghost is still attached, and he has some mesmerizing and manipulation on his mind. Read my brief and terrifying blog of how I wove this illuminated tally whacker into a novella that I hold out hope of publishing, over at the Labyrinth Project. 4 out of 5 Urologists recommend it.
