If Ed Gein Lived in 2025, Would He Still Be a Monster? by NWO Sparrow
When the Closet Turns Into a Coffin: The Real Horror Behind Ed Gein and America’s Fear of Gender Ryan Murphy has never been afraid to walk us through America’s darkest corridors. With his new Netflix series Monster: The Ed Gein Story, he’s about to pull us into the heartland of mid-century Wisconsin, where repression and religion built the kind of monster only small-town America could produce. The horror of Ed Gein’s story isn’t just in the grave-robbing, skin suits, or mutilated bodies found in that isolated farmhouse. It’s in the way America taught men like Gein to hate themselves long before they learned how to harm others.

A Day in the Life of Grandma Bau
Administrator Yuan poured the tea to go with the opened pomegranate. He had learned to deal with many unusual situations during his time as supervisor of the Tongli Family Hospital. Most of them he just put under the header of “Grandma Bau”: the occasional missing corpse, disappearing orderlies, objects moving without visible force, even the somehow common “I loved talking to that old woman; who was she?” He even named his antacid tablets his “Grandma Bau pills” as she was the reason he went through so many.

Netflix Spins a New Hit with Monster series
Netflix subscribers have come a long way. Long ago we waited for our DVD to arrive in the mail to watch the latest flick. Then RedBox took over the new movies on DVD point of interest, and Netflix evolved into a subscription channel for anyone who could download the app or add the channel to their cable package. While some Netflix subscribers who are into Horror and Fantasy shows may still be patiently awaiting another season of "The Witcher" or "Stranger Things" (like me) we've had to find other shows to get on with, and I found the Monster series on Netflix an acceptable replacement along with "Wednesday" (the girl from the Addams family) which only aired 16 episodes at 2 seasons. Fans into Goth Theater like this kind of stuff, and Halloween lovers tend to enjoy the Horror Genre. It seems that Netflix is carving out a niche in the Horror and Fantasy genres by serving their subscribers a buffet of spooky entertainment. I'm satisfied, and applaud the Netflix Big Dogs for switching to Fan Servitude over stuff like "13 Reasons Why" which was simply too controversial.

The Vanishing: Five Lost in the Bennington Triangle
Prologue — Cold Wind Over Glastenbury The wind comes down off Glastenbury Mountain like a long, patient breath. It moves through the black spruce and red maple, rattles the old logging roads, and combs the cleared lines where a town used to be. If you stand quiet enough, you can hear it whistle through things that are no longer here: clapboard houses, mill wheels, footfalls. Voices.

The Scariest Basement Story You’ll Ever Read
Imagine this: it’s late at night, and you’re tucked into bed, the house quiet except for the usual creaks and groans of an old home settling. Then, out of nowhere, you hear it-a faint tap, tap, tap coming from somewhere below. You freeze, straining to listen. Is it the pipes? A branch against the window? Or… something else? That’s exactly where the Bowen family found themselves in the fall of 1986, and let me tell you, their story will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

The Problem With Cupcakes
A woman accepts a “free” cupcake in a fairy-owned bakery. [Generated] Elsa loved the Cafe of Daione Si. The colors were brighter than the other coffee stands, the coffee just a little sweeter, and they served the most wonderful little sandwiches. Combined with the WiFi, the place was perfect for someone working on the Great American Novel. Elsa came here frequently; it was the perfect place away from home.
