Be Well Come to the Biggest issue yet of "The World of Myth!" This month
we are focusing on paranormal activity, and have gone to great lengths to
bring you some fascinating and bizarre stories and information pertaining
to ghosts, spirits, things that go 'Bump' in the night, and all manner of
other unusual occurrences.
First off, however, stop by the Myth Mart to check out some new items
that have been made available, then come back and start reading. In our
short story department, "Queen of the Westerlands" opens with another
chapter of that ongoing saga, and Brad Grochowski returns with Part Two
of, "The Diary of Uno Duo." And, while I am sure some mistake has been
made (we are checking into possible 'ballot box stuffing'), apparently
Mr. Grochowski was voted winner of the coveted Member of the Month award
in April, for "The Diary of Uno Duo," Part One. Just kidding,
Brad--Congratulations!
In the Horror section, we have a full offering of strange stories.
Saranna DeWylde returns with a tale of Voodoo and mystery, while L.M.
Mercer makes a come back with a story about peer pressure gone wild. The
writing pair of Steve Bolin and Kevin Adams both offer up stories--Steve
with Part Two of 'Casket Case,' and Kevin shares his own tale of late
night travel on a deserted(?) road.
Our Featured Writer this month is Edgar Allan Poe, master of the macabre
and weird tales, and David K. Montoya brings us another episode of his
story, 'The End.' Speaking of Mr. Montoya, we want to wish our fearless
leader a Happy Birthday this month, as he is now one step closer to that
retirement home.
In the poetry section, Rebecca Lofgren, L.M. Mercer and Kevin Magnus all
offer up new poems, while in the Art Gallery, Jessica Rinaldo, Rebecca
Lofgren and David K. Montoya share their colorful visions, and in the
Creative Youth section, 6 year old Kayli displays two new pieces of her
art work.
Then, specially for this issue, Saranna DeWylde shares with us a secret
recipe for making a Zombie Powder, as well as some of her research into
the curious and often misunderstood religions of Voodoo and Hoodoo. This
issue we have Two interviews for you--Saranna returns and shares research
into her study of the paranormal, and we also have Kristie Murphy, of
West Coast Ghost Hunters, a group who investigate hauntings and spirit
sightings. Don't miss these interviews!
Stop by our Movie Reviews, too, as Balcony Betty returns to accompany
Reaper Rick in giving their thoughts on a slew of flicks--some good, and
some 'Horror'able. And, the Month in Myth discusses May, and what it
means to those of us who enjoy Spring.
All in all, this issue should keep you busy for some time, and cause you
to listen even more carefully to those mysterious little sounds in the
night, that you might otherwise have simply ignored. We ask that you
explore this issue with an open mind--you may never know when you might
learn something new. But, most importantly, we want you to...
Enjoy!
