Jaws, Lord of the Rings, Fargo, Anchorman, Night of the Living Dead, Shaun of the Dead (You've got red on you.), A Clockwork Orange, Ed Wood, Edward Scissorhands, Evil Dead.


On the TV show front (my formative years, anyway), there's In Search Of and Scooby Doo.

The book that started it all for me was Mysteries of the Unexplained, published by Reader's Digest in 1982.


And pretty much anything by Stephen King, with The Shining topping the list.


But my tastes range far beyond the realm of the unexplained, scary, and just plain weird. I've found the following writers consistently enjoyable: David Sedaris, E. Annie Proulx, Amy Tan, J.K. Rowling, Lemony Snicket, Roald Dahl, Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, Chuck Palahniuk, J.R.R. Tolkien, Dinty Moore, Bill Bryson, Mary Roach, C.S. Lewis, Louise Erdrich, Anne LaMott, Margaret Atwood and a bunch of others I'll add as I remember them. Oh, and Kurt Vonnegut Jr. (RIP)



Reading. Writing. Editing. Hiking. Gardening (with a black thumb, though). Disc golf. Procrastination.


Heavenly Tattoos, Pet Parade, T.R.A.P., Spirits of the Highway, Go ahead and Vent








I'm the compiler/editor of a book called Weird Hauntings - True Tales of Ghostly Places. During the course of working on the book (and after), I met many wonderful people who have experienced the paranormal.


I'm also the updates/news editor for the magazine, Weird NJ, and editor for their special Tales From Clinton Road issue.


We've just finished our second ghostly anthology, tentatively titled Weird Encounters: Ghostly Tales of Haunted Places. When we have a release date, we'll post it here!


I talked with Roscoe Phil on April 28th: visit his show's page to have a listen!

A really good book. Museums. My pets. Chocolate-covered pretzels. Working from home.

Hackers. Closed minds. "Black or white" thinking. Traffic.

"When the trees their summer splendor
Change to raiment red and gold,
When the summer moon turns mellow,
And the nights are getting cold;
When the squirrels hide their acorns,
And the woodchucks disappear;
Then we know that it is autumn,
Loveliest season of the year."

-   Carol L. Riser, Autumn

Just stopping by to say hi. It was a busy weekend for us again. The shop was really busy on Friday and Saturday. Phil took 4 hours off from work Friday night, so we were able to go out for fish fry. That was so nice.


We went to Karaoke on Saturday night. We had a great time with friends.


Then on Sunday, Al (willowcrkfrm) from IAH came into town to meet Phil and I. He brought his friend Heidi with him. It was really nice getting to know him. We talked at the shop for a bit, then went up to the Koffee Kup for some lunch and had a great talk about our two places. It sure sounds like he's got a very interesting place. Then we headed back to the shop to just sit, talk and look around. It was a great time. It's so nice to meet people I have talked to on this site.


Hope you had as good of a weekend as we did. It was just a nice lazy weekend, even though we were busy all the time. Hope you have a great week. Hugs, Vicky

Just stopping by to say Hi! It's been another busy weekend for us again. We went up north to work on our camper again today. Boy, I can't wait until it's done and we can finely sleep in it. It was a beautiful day to be working on it. Not to cold and not to hot. It's great to be back home again though. Otis and Baxter just love it up there also. They had so much fun. They are both crashed and sleeping right now.

We had to do a rush clean out of a house yesterday after we closed the shop. What a mess. The lady moved out and left most of her stuff. The people that bought her house are doing a flip house, so they need to get to work on it right away. That was a lot of rush packing to say the least. At least they let us put some of the stuff we didn't have time to move in the garage. We will have to go pick up another load tomorrow. At least everything is out of the house for them.

New weekend I have a ghost hunting team coming in. We have worked with them many times. I think it will be fun.

Hope you had a great weekend also. Have a wonderful week. Hugs, Vicky
