They live a life of semi-seclusion in this increasingly chaotic world, while still taking time to enjoy life's little pleasure.
I served as a Signal Support Systems Specialist in the U.S. Army from 2004-2012. In that time, I spent nearly three years deployed to Iraq.

Veterans in Horror: Interview with Bryn Grover
I grew up in an age when the Soviet Union and communism were generally conceived to be the enemy. "Bomb" drills were generally held as we ducked and hid under desks and learned to count 'flash to bang' times.

Lovecraft, Arthur Machen, Clark Ashton Smith, Lord Dunsany, T.E.D. Klein and …
