Shamblin' Sam
Before Sam was a glass bottle of whiskey, a delightful delectation from the old world. The name on the label was too faded to read, but he could recall from the shape of the bottle that it was named after some American hillbilly and would clock in around 80 proof.

On Fiction Esoteric and Philosophical
I’m faced with a problem when attempting to describe my work. Sometimes I will tell a straighforward story, as I did in Apocalypse Cow and The Garden, to name just two; but sometimes, as I do in my most recent Horror to Culture offering The Vampyre and the God, or my proem The Fool and the Harlequin, I’m using archetypical language and symbols to express something beyond everyday human experience, but which I nevertheless hold to be true of the human psyche—both mine individually as well as the way it interfaces with the collective.

The 27 Club. Top Story - July 2024.
The 27 Club: Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Robert Johnson. This is just to name a few. I won’t give any credence to the notion that the number or age of 27 really has anything but mythological significance; but the way that so many great artists die so tragically does have a significance which I wish to explore here.

The Cynickal Art(icle)
I started a Substack called The Cynickal Art. It will be a repository for my meandering thoughts on philosophy and life. I decided to separate The Cynickal Art from my fiction and poetry, some of which I will continue to post here at Vocal, because I understand the depth and length of the essays may be more than anyone is looking for here, whereas Substack can draw those who might actually be interested.
