If you do this long enough you'll soon have a backlog of writing. The best way to get inspired is to read. Especially read about writing. Talk with anyone you know who also writes. Believe in yourself.(less)

Actual Intelligence

Horror movies love a good sequel.  A self-referential genre, there’s a lot of give and take and reassessing.  I may have waited a little too long to watch M3GAN 2.0, however.  I remembered the premise of M3GAN: an AI robot companion built to keep a young girl company misreads its protocol and ends up killing people.  I’d forgotten the details of how this came about, but as I watched the sequel, it

Haunted Summer by Anne Edwards

It must be difficult to write historical novels. Other readers of history have their own ideas of what might’ve been going on in character’s heads. And since these are real people, it must be difficult to convince readers that you’ve got the inside t ...more

This is a book that I’ve wanted to read for years. It is only regularly available as an expensive ebook and I don’t read ebooks unless there’s no other option. I had scrimped and saved to afford a used print copy (which wasn’t cheap). Was it worth it ...more

This is a well-told story with an unreliable narrator. Although dark academia is probably the best genre to assign, it also should appeal to readers who like horror. I suppose that since the characters are prep-school age that it’s probably YA, but i ...more

This fun guidebook is part travelog and part gazetteer of the weird. People have been seeing unexplained animals for as long as there have been people. The United States is no exception. If you think that all we have is Bigfoot, or if you think Loch ...more
The Crucible by Arthur Miller
“Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!”

Okay, kids, I read this book half-a-century ago. I had a hankering to read it again. It was written in the days when more than 150 pages meant a novel was getting too long. Fast-paced, it’s noteworthy science fiction from the sixties. I discovered th ...more

I’m the exact target readership for this book. Horror traces its roots back to the gothic, and Roger Luckhurst’s large-format, richly illustrated book tries to make sense of this sprawling, monstrous topic. He divides the gothic into four categories ...more

Quotes by Steve A. Wiggins  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Technology has outstripped reality.”
Steve A. Wiggins

“AI has great potential, but let's leave the humanities to humans.”
Steve A. Wiggins

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
H.L. Mencken, On Politics: A Carnival of Buncombe

“A writer is someone who has taught his mind to misbehave.”
Oscar Wilde

“The Ethiops say that their gods are flat-nosed and black,
While the Thracians say that theirs have blue eyes and red hair.
Yet if cattle or horses or lions had hands and could draw,
And could sculpt like men, then the horses would draw their gods
Like horses, and cattle like cattle; and each they would shape
Bodies of gods in the likeness, each kind, of their own.”
Xenophanes

“Myth embodies the nearest approach to absolute truth that can be stated in words.”
Ananda Coomaraswamy

“I was working on the proof of one of my poems all the morning, and took out a comma. In the afternoon I put it back again.”
Oscar Wilde
