- H.P. Lovecraft, Supernatural Horror in Literature
Praise for The Not-So-Silent Planet
“It shouldn’t be a surprise to you that ultra-hip MPLS + STPL has an open mic night dedicated to…sci-fi, fantasy, tales of the supernatural and such. It also shouldn’t be a surprise that the quality of the material is higher than an H.G. Wells zeppelin.”
– Hitara, Secrets of the City
“…that was some delightfully trippy shit…mind-bendingly strange and fun…they burrow into your mind and keep you thinking about them long after they’re done.”
– Matthew Everett, Single White Fringe Geek
“…definitely in the grand tradition of short-story writing in the genre…if you like story-telling events, don’t miss this one. Seriously. Just…don’t.”
“I love audio books. I love science fiction and fantasy stories. I love really good storytellers. I loved this show.”
“…helps you to see that there are many possibilities in this vast universe of ours.”
