Main Character Syndrome isn’t a diagnosis — it’s a lifestyle! The condition might’ve been described in Ye Olden Days as that “record-scratch” moment when a person entered a room, and all eyes turned to them in wonder.

Luckily, Werewolves boasts a lot of talent on screen and off in delivering just that, including SFX legend and werewolf designer/effects creator Alec Gillis of Studio Gillis. Gillis’ expansive career has given horror fans no shortage of cherished movie monsters, from the Aliens to Predator…

The idea for this novel came to me from two sources: a snippet I came across which accredited 33% of the people one came into daily contact with not to be all that well tuned to life, and from my observations which made me believe statistics. The above figure further increases, it seems, when subjects are eradicated from their birthplace, such is the case of Lonia’s mother, a Russian expatriate, hence Lonia the protagonist of my book. Having lived in a foreign country, Italy in my case,…

Critic’s Rating: 4.2 / 5.04.2The Irrational took on the world of K-Pop stardom — that is, Korean pop stars who have made it big and have thousands of adoring American fans.
