This is Stark After Dark, where I compile my stark ravings, mostly on mythology, history and fantasy – my quips and koans, hot takes and pet peeves, betes noires and idees fixes.
STARK NAKED
Get stark naked as I compile my daily musings (most days), predominantly as posts for entries in my top ten lists
Count down entries for my obsessive-compulsive hobby of compiling top ten lists for everything, along with their special and honorable mentions – mostly for subjects in mythology and history but also for books and popular culture in general.
MEGA-CITY LAW
I am the Law – Mega-City Law, featuring ongoing reviews of my favorite comic, Judge Dredd, through the collected Complete Case Files (and more top ten lists of course), usually on weekends.
STARK RAVINGS
Strap yourself in for my stark ravings – special features for rants and raves, mostly on subjects of mythology, history and fantasy.
MYTHOLOGY
Roll up for my magical mystery tour of mythology, from my godless enjoyment of the Bible to my godful enjoyment of classical paganism, and from the zen applause of one hand clapping to playing poker with tarot cards.
HISTORY
Recline in my comfortable armchair of hindsight and ruminate about how all history is the art of war or the decline and fall of the Roman Empire.
FANTASY
Join me in my dreams of fantasy and science fiction in all its forms, from Lord of the Rings to Dungeons & Dragons and from H. G. Wells to Star Wars – as well as rants or raves where I take fictional events way too seriously.
BARE-ASSED & HALF-BAKED IDEAS
Ravings too random for anything else, such as my dream of living in a house lit by lava lamps – and adventures in the art of nymphomancy.
HEART OF STARKNESS
My plafyul mythology and poetic musings – my eightfold path, apocrypha, and apocalypse – because I live in a mythic world and life is the laughter of the gods.
