They say the fae are dangerous and not to be trusted. They might even describe the fae as menaces. ā€œTheyā€ say a lot. But in this case, what they say might actually be true. It’s important to understand the ethereal and magical creatures you may come across in your wanderings. Failure to do so might land you in trouble. Hell, failure to adhere to your knowledge of these beings might land you in trouble. In general, it’s wise to just stay away from them altogether. However, if your curiosity is piqued, do not miss this edition’s brief attraction, The Traveler, the Tavern, the Fae.

Our vampires are making headway in their search for truth, and freeing imprisoned humans in the process. Where this takes them, we can only guess, but it’s a curious ride so far! Don’t miss this installment of A Vampire’s Vengeance.

Robert Bloch is featured once again in this edition’s guest column for classic horror with his entry to the cosmic horror genre, The Secret in the Tomb. And the bus driver runs afoul of … well, we don’t know who yet, but the ride’s getting bumpy in Bus Driver. Catch all the excitement below!

AI Disclaimer: not a single word of this edition—nor any prior—whether expository or narrative (read: editorial content or stories) has been written with the use of AI. I now feel it entirely necessary to state this fact since AI has become prevalent in a number of ways across society, and I want to reassure you, my dearest guest, that what you consume here is all dreamed up by a human—me—and created by hand, the old fashioned way, with copious amounts of coffee and irreverence.

Let’s get into it →

Background is burst of alternating reddish-orange and tan ray coming out from the center of the image. Over this is the Mad Alex emblem, over which is placed the silhouette of a charter bus in a burnt orange. The text "Bus Driver" is boldly displayed to the right.
