Ms. Horror Blogosphere Draws Ire, but Why?
Recently on the Twitters a mini debate began to brew concerning the presence of female horror bloggers and journalists. While the details are sketchy, due in no small part to my passing participation and tendency to forget my name at times, the overall consensus was that horror journalism, be it on a reputable news site or a personal blog, is a male-dominated profession. This is not to say that the presence of female writers is non-existent; quite the contrary actually. They just have a tendency to be overlooked or, in the case of proper journalism, ignored.

Thor meets Fabio and Prepubescense
Norse mythology never gets treated fairly. My biggest complaint, however, is with the fact that Mjollnir looks nothing like it should.
