Letter from the editor

Dark, dark! the horror of darkness,like a shroud, wraps and bears me on through mist and cloud. (Sophocles)



We are all hearing about the end of days today, and well that in mind, a new movie has inpired this week's newsletter, Legion Quote: When God loses faith in mankind, He sends his legion of angels to bring on the Apocalypse. Humanity's only hope lies in a group of strangers trapped in a desert diner and the Archangel Michael. Imagine indeed when angels that are suppost to be the embodiement of hope and blessing and heaven, be the opposite, nothing more than demons cast down with featherless wings, send to do the unforgivable. Bearers of death, possession, gatebearers to hell. To me, that is one super scare, and in a rounabout one, a reaccuring fear as a child, angels. Yes, I am weird. *Wink*

Can angelic possession be more horrific than demonic possession? Appartently so. To think that we mankind are nothing more than meatsacks for which heaven to use as vessels to fight their war with hell. A thought indeed. That angels really are not on our side. I do however do not mean to step on any toes, only expore a horror that lurks today in both books, films, and on the web. *Smile*

I have found much to suggest that there is not a true difference between angelic and demonic posession, both take will of a one's body without consent, both use a person to do there will, no matter what that may be, both may beocme illl, covered with sores, start speaking in tongues, show stigmas, and be afflicted in ways most horrific.

Oh the horror! {shiver) In historical times, those deeply bonded to their church and faithful in most divine ways, who began to show signs of possession were though to be host to a demon or even the devil himself, still some those believed that angels, literally the right hand of hand where sent to do his will. In today's more desensored world, this is a absolute horrror to many, and prominent in film.

"Legion" is out in threaters soon here, and I those who do see it will share their thoughts, till next time I lurk, remember, the evil creepies that hide under your bed waiting for you to sleep, they only scare well you all know cause they care. *Laugh*

Ask & Answer

Always I enjoy hearing what everyone thinks of my newsletters, Here is some comments I recieved from my last edition, about Werewolves, I did see "The Wolfman" and oh! *Wink* it was good, not great but worth a see, and it was Valentine's, my husband treat for me, for he hates scary movies, and I can still hear myself when he jumped clean out his seat behind me, two minutes in. *Laugh* So romantic. *Smirk*

shaara commented:
You gave some great details about werewolves. I've always wondered why they were called that. Why not wearwolves? Don't they wear the wolf, so to speak?


*Laugh* True so to speak Shaara, I must peek into that. Beware the Werewolf.

Joy Author Icon commented:
Great newsletter, Ann!
I am not much of a werewolf fan, and I don't usually write horror, but you editor guys in the horror newsletter are luring me to write more of this scary stuff. *Bigsmile*


That's it Joy. *Smirk* Come over to the darkside *Laugh* Thanks very much for the support.

very thankful Author Icon commented:
I wrote a werewolf story called Underground about an elderly werewolf lady. I also enjoy a good werewolf movie. My favorite is the 1946 classic, She Wolf in London, staring my favorite actress, June Lockhart. Thanks for the great newsletter!


She Wolf in London was good yes, I saw it years ago, another good werewolf book I enjoy is "Cycle of the Werewolf" very classsic, and well written. Thanks for sharing again, and always enjoying a little horror. *Smirk* Honestly be told though, I am more a zombie girl. *Laugh*
