Always Be Kind to a Farmer's Wife
Released a creepy audio/video version of a nursery rhyme from The Land of Ick and Eck: Harlot's, "Always Be Kind to a Farmer's Wife."

I'm continuing to make parts of "The Land of Ick and Eck: Harlot's Encounters" into various renditions, because why not. Older fairytales and old style children's stories are weird, and I like that about them. Read more of this blog post »

“When a scream is heard, wait...for silence is our assurance of tolerability.”

“Into a land of fantasy
With haste we cast them all aside
No tearing if you cannot see
That is what we all make-believe”

“The word "good" has many meanings. For example, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of five hundred yards, I should call him a good shot, but not necessarily a good man.”

“Fairy tales, then, are not responsible for producing in children fear, or any of the shapes of fear; fairy tales do not give the child the idea of the evil or the ugly; that is in the child already, because it is in the world already. Fairy tales do not give the child his first idea of bogey. What fairy tales give the child is his first clear idea of the possible defeat of bogey. The baby has known the dragon intimately ever since he had an imagination. What the fairy tale provides for him is a St. George to kill the dragon.
Exactly what the fairy tale does is this: it accustoms him for a series of clear pictures to the idea that these limitless terrors had a limit, that these shapeless enemies have enemies in the knights of God, that there is something in the universe more mystical than darkness, and stronger than strong fear.”
