Clearing things out
Mar. 6th, 2008 11:37 pmBecause I have dozens of tabs open right now because they have cool things I've been meaning to share with people, and I should probably give poor old Firefox a rest.
First, Dead Eyes Open. Zombie comic. Was prepared not to be impressed, read the free downloads they had up, and... well... they had one of those moments where the author/artist show you something that makes sense, that isn't what you're expecting and yet that fits so perfectly into what they've already shown you that you just *grin*. Here, it's pages ten to twelve of the third comic. (More excerpts here.)
Also, they have props. (I love prop documents. Library cards for Miskatonic University, death certificates for Wraith games, references to Torchwood pamphlets... *glee*)
========
Second, Warren Ellis has something to say about Jack the Ripper. It's old--December 2003--but it's a neat idea, and damn it does nail exactly how much we know about old Leather Apron.
========
Hmh. There's a fifteen-minute indie short of "The Statement of Randolph Carter" up here. Looking at it and it's suddenly reminding me very much of Poppy Z. Brite's "And His Mouth Will Taste of Wormwood".
========
Hey, there's a contest up here; explain what and why your favourite horror game is in 250 words or less. Figured it might be of interest to anyone who hadn't seen it.
========
(There is no fifth.)
========
Online comic called Stark Reality; new page every week (I think). Black and white, scratchy setting that feels like a slightly less urban version of MegaCity One. Short stories, generally black humour, kinda fluffy. I like it.
