My Reviews

Some of you probably came to this site after reading one of my reviews on Black Gate. I've actually been writing reviews, on and off, since 2008.

Jill Cooper and Jude Mire offered me the opportunity to start a review column for their short-lived website back in 2008. The theme I was given initially was "disturbing films". So I gathered some of the most disturbing films I'd ever seen, starting with the one that "goes all the way": Cannibal Holocaust. I never did get into the habit of regular posting on that site and, frankly, there's only so much unrelenting darkness one can view before it begins to take its toll.

True Story: One of the films I reviewed actually made me throw up. Unfortunately, the site had already gone on indefinite hiatus by the time I managed to put together a review for that one.
The site's  last update was on May 18, 2010. Jill and Jude are still busy with all manner of new projects (as well as an extremely mobile little girl).

I began editing posts for Black Gate back in May 2012, taking over from the esteemed C.S.E. Cooney. Big shoes to fill. After the first few months and some sporadic posting, I began what eventually became a thirty-post review on the origins and early days of Red Sonja
