On Fiction Esoteric and Philosophical
I’m faced with a problem when attempting to describe my work. Sometimes I will tell a straighforward story, as I did in Apocalypse Cow and The Garden, to name just two; but sometimes, as I do in my most recent Horror to Culture offering The Vampyre and the God, or my proem The Fool and the Harlequin, I’m using archetypical language and symbols to express something beyond everyday human experience, but which I nevertheless hold to be true of the human psyche—both mine individually as well as the way it interfaces with the collective.

The 27 Club. Top Story - July 2024.
The 27 Club: Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Robert Johnson. This is just to name a few. I won’t give any credence to the notion that the number or age of 27 really has anything but mythological significance; but the way that so many great artists die so tragically does have a significance which I wish to explore here.

The Cynickal Art(icle)
I started a Substack called The Cynickal Art. It will be a repository for my meandering thoughts on philosophy and life. I decided to separate The Cynickal Art from my fiction and poetry, some of which I will continue to post here at Vocal, because I understand the depth and length of the essays may be more than anyone is looking for here, whereas Substack can draw those who might actually be interested.

Horror to Culture, Antichrist Edition
This is my second article cross-referencing my collaboration with Micheal A. Dyer (a.k.a. MAD) on the Horror to Culture website, (here’s the first) where we explore the horticulture of horror—which is to say, the means by which the shadowy elements of the human psyche are redeemed through the cathartic art of exploration and adaptation.

TCOB
“Buddha, what do you mean when you state that desire is the cause of suffering?” the Poet asked. “I mean to indicate not only one’s own desire, but also that of others. One can remove oneself from the world but still be a vital part of it in ways that others will not understand until they do the same… and it is okay if they never do!

PERDURABO. Top Story - June 2024.
“I made the toads hop, the witches skip, and the monkeys dance to the persistent crank of the organ grinder, which played a melancholy tune that falls outside their hearing range. Life is strange, but I am even stranger… ever the stranger.”
