Corrigans Basement

Forgive me for the structure errors but I had to get this out. In the tradition of Rudyard Kipling:

My Farewell

I didn’t really want you
Yet you didn’t care
I proclaimed you were hers
Yet you made yours too

You looked at me with your eyes
And pretended you were dumb
But you knew what you were doing
And manipulated me with your guile

When I was ill you comforted me
When you ailed I comforted you
When I angered you ran to her
And when I repented you smirked at me

Love has no bounds
That much is true
Your love had no pretensions
Concurrently, you made my love for you found

Love is not a given in our lives
It is not even a right
Love is a gift from god
And given ever so slight

You brought us closer
You made us complete
You taught us patience
And the way to find closure

In tomes stored in silent halls it’s written in zeal
To know a dog is to know tears
Yet, my heart tears with your passing
God speed old friend to your Elysian fields.

As promised, we’ve added a movie review page. Our first review is by horror film historian Travis Indovina on the new Nightbreed Director’s cut. Nightbreed is one of my favorite films and I’m excited that it’s getting some more attention. And, yes, I’m old enough to have seen it in the theater on its original release.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!

A lot of new to report.

We’ve cleaned up a lot of the pages and introduced some new ones.

Additionally, we are welcoming new contributors to the pages within the next few days.  And, if that wasn’t enough, now instead of reading about the great products you can also buy them here on this site!

So, if you’ve been here before we’re sure you’ll like the changes and if you haven’t visited us before, welcome and we hope you find something to pique your interest.

Release from Pro Se Press:

GENRE FICTION PUBLISHER DELIVERS TWO FISTED FLASH FICTION IN ‘RAT-A-TAT: SHORT BLASTS OF PULP

An innovative Publisher of Genre Fiction, Pro Se Productions announces the release of one of its most interesting collections yet. Multiple genres get the Pulp treatment in stories of three thousand words or less in Rat-A-Tat: Short Blasts of Pulp.

“Flash Fiction,” says Tommy Hancock, Partner in and Editor in Chief of Pro Se Productions, “is a rather ‘flashy’ term for what has also been called the short-short story. Although we usually are looking for longer tales, it’s an interesting proposition to see if Pulp authors can deliver the same thrills and chills in a much shorter format. Rat-A-Tat is definitely proof that not only can it be done, but the crew of authors we wrangled into doing it for this collection deliver with both barrels in every single story. Variety abounds in the pages of this multifaceted anthology of flash fiction done right.”

Like Bullets from a Tommy Gun, Pro Se Productions delivers Pulp like no one else in Rat-A-Tat: Short Blasts of Pulp!

Today’s best Genre Fiction authors pull their fedoras down tight, charge their laser blasters, and barrel full speed ahead into Rat-A-Tat. This collection features short short fiction designed to illicit the same emotions, the same edge of the seat thrill, the same action and adventure as classic Pulp stories and New Pulp novels. Thrill to Pulp delivered in quick, sharp blasts from a rogues’ gallery of authors:

Russ Anderson, Jr. Ralph L. Angelo, Jr.
Mark Gelineau David White
Jaime Hudson Philip Leibfried
Nick C. Piers Teel James Glenn
Joel Jenkins James Bojaciuk
Edward J. Indovina James Hopwood
Adam Lance Garcia Logan L. Masterson
Kevin Rodgers H. David Blalock
A. Stuart Williams James Kinley
Ken Janssens Mark Bousquet

Rat-A-Tat: Short Blasts of Pulp featuring an atmospheric cover by David L. Russell and cover design and print formatting by Percival Constantine is now available in print on Amazon for $12.00. The collection of flash pulp fiction is also available as an eBook designed and formatted by Russ Anderson on Kindle exclusively for only $2.99.
