Two Poems So Far Today
UNFINISHED PAINTING by Keelan Thør Stewart, March 2018 We have never been alone. The mara, the faerie, the Djinn. The Horla, imps, the gnomes. The pixies, dryads, naiads, the sylphs. Demons, banshee, the Sidhe. Selkie, fetch, wraiths. Ghosts, haunts, specters. … Continue reading

REH, HPL, ERB, & Me
Started reading a collection of Robert E. Howard stories and must say, he was better than I’d recalled. I’ve always liked his work, from Conan, Solomon Kane, and Bran Mak Morn and beyond. The variety, depth, and the bravura … Continue reading
