What the hell is happening to the animals of Chernobyl?

What the hell should we do about smallpox?

What the hell crash-landed in St. Paul?

What the hell is the Book of Soyga?

Who the hell was La Schiava Turca?

Watch out for those burning phantom ships!

Watch out for those Werewolf Demon Tailors!

Watch out for those Louisville Goat Men!

Watch out for those Shrieking Phantoms!

Are you Texan?  Then watch out for those kamikaze birds!

Are you Welsh?  Then watch out for those aliens!

A brief list of Hero Cats.

It's a 16th century book!  It's a Rubik's Cube!

Helene Gillet: a victim of beheading who turned the tables.

A story of unsolved disappearances and the dangers of false memories.

  1. Aw, another awesome shout out on my fave Friday list! Thanks!!

    1. I'm usually not a fan of having animals "perform," but that's a delightful story.
