Reading ‘We Bleed Red & Green: 12 Chilling Tales For Christmas’ Needs To Be Your New Christmas Tradition (Review)

Merry Christmas, everyone! I love the ever-growing genre of Holiday Horror and Jeff C. Carter has added a brand new collection of short stories to the holiday horror world. His collection We Bleed Red and Green is not ONLY a short story collection, but a unique, fun, gory, original collection of stories, poetry, parodies, coded messages and more. In his book, Carter does not shy away from horror and gore, but he also finds a way to really have the Christmas spirit present in his world of darkness and fear. This anthology is a perfect way for Carter to show off his writing abilities in a variety of styles. As much as I enjoyed each individual story, I enjoyed how unique each story was from each other and how well each story was written. This collection never gets repetitive or boring, it is a different feeling and a different nightmare on every page. Some stories are clever and funny, some

‘A Seed In A Soil Of Sorrow’ Is A Fantastic, Horrifying Short Story (Review)

There are not many things I love reading more than short stories. Make it a horror short stories and it makes it better. Make it a horror short story about a wicked cult and it piques my interest even more. Make it a horror short story about a wicked cult and write it in a unique way and you have an instant winner for me. Keith Anthony Baird has done the perfect recipe in his short story A Seed in a Soil of Sorrow. Characters In stories about cults, the most important character is the cult leader. It is hard to create a character charismatic and intelligent enough to have both the characters in the book and the readers understand why the cult is intriguing. It is also difficult to not just follow a cookie cutter pattern of successful cult leader characters, but to create a unique leader. Baird not only creates a leader who is charismatic, intriguing, and believable,

Pillars Made Of Skulls Puzzles Archeologists

When Hernan Cortes conquered the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan (modern-day Mexico City) in 1521, his troops and native allies made a discovery that rattled them. Inside the temple dedicated to the Aztec god of war, the sun, and sacrifice, Huitzilopochtli, was a massive wooden structure measuring 200 feet in diameter displaying human skulls. This structure is known as a Tzompantli, a skull rack. Along with the massive collection of skulls that would make a Predator proud, were two pillars made out of human skulls. Tales of what the conquistadores saw that day were passed down for generations and were left like that. In 2015, the skull towers seen by Cortes’s men that birthed the stories were discovered. At the time around 676 skulls were unearthed in what is being called Huey Tzompantli. The skulls were being held together with stone mortar and originally were believed to be the skulls of young men who were warriors captured during combat and sacrificed
