Avid reader and amateur (hopefully soon-to-be-published) scholar of comics and speculative fiction (fantasy, science fiction, supernatural horror, magical realism, etc.). I'm overeducated, with an M.A. and an M.L.S. to prove it. I'm also an avid role playing game junkie. (Tabletop RPG, that is. The term has been coopted.). Most of my posts revolve around the imaginarium, the multiverse of ideas.
I'll start worshipping a deity when I find one worth worshipping. Until then, I work by negotiation and diplomacy. Ask about my low rates.
