Lots of "this library was abandoned and wrecked" images, but no "haunted library" images.

Shaverism was THE science fiction "it" idea of the late 1940s. It dominated everything. Dozens of stories. The big magazines were bloated with it.

It even contributed to the UFO craze.

Beehive coke ovens. There used to be 800 of them in Cleveland, just west of where Union Avenue meets Broadway.

And if you're a small business in Trump's Amerikkka which can't afford child care? Well, fuck you.

What's the scariest episode of television you ever saw?

For me, it's a tie between "Home" on The X-Files and "Midnight" on Doctor Who. Hammer House of Horror's "The House That Bled to Death" and "Scarecrow" from Friday the 13th: The Series rank right up there.
