Posted on February 22, 2025 by Nathan

While I’ve heard the term “portal fantasy” used to refer to stories where someone is transported into a strange world, not all of them necessarily use literal portals, in the sense of gates or doors. I think the first time I … Continue reading →

I’ve finally finished watching Once Upon a Time, which I actually started when it was still being made, but stopped for a few years. And it’s taken me a while to get through all of it. I enjoyed it, although … Continue reading →

Atomized and Bewitched

Posted on June 16, 2020 by Nathan

I often end up making posts on books I’ve written long after the fact. I’m trying to at least take some notes in the meantime, but I don’t always. Anyway, this time, there’s a Mickey Mouse classic comic collection, one … Continue reading →
