The chair you’re sitting on has just become sentient and has fallen madly in love with you. How do you explain that your romance just won’t work out?
1993 Night Creeper Leader (v1) Series Twelve
1993 Night Creeper Leader (v1) Series Twelve Another entry in the “Neon Colors Do Not A Ninja Make Line”. Looking back, this iteration of the night creeper makes no sense — but he did have some great accessories.

The King in Yellow
The King in Yellow May 9, 2026 It’s funny how curiosity works. One moment you’re deep in a rabbit hole of fan theories for a modern mystery show like From, and the next, you’re holding a weird, unsettling piece of 19th-century literature that feels like it’s staring back at you. That’s exactly how I found […]
The Great Good Thing
The Great Good Thing May 9, 2026 I’ve had The Great Good Thing on my shelf for a while—one of those books you intend to read but never quite do.

1991 Sci-Fi (v2) Series Ten
1991 Sci-Fi (v2) Series Ten This second version of Sci-Fi (v2) was released in 1991 and discontinued in 1992. A pretty decent update of an unusual figure from the 1986 line, this version of the former Laser Trooper turned “Directed Energy Expert” is dressed in midnight black with a high tech loadout. It is hinted […]
Between Two Fires
Between Two Fires April 26, 2026 Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman stayed with me longer than I expected. It’s an odyssey in the truest sense. Part horror, part something that almost leans into science fiction—not in machinery or futurism, but in scale. The setting is bleak in a way that doesn’t feel exaggerated. A […]
