Last night before bed, I made a little mistake in listening to a DARKNESS RADIO true crime show with Dave Schrader featuring the owner of Serial Killer Magazine. The show was great and interesting. True crime fascinates me … actually scares me. The intense reality that exists beyond the safety of our locked doors and closed windows is abhorrent, often. There is much to be written and told of true crime—too much to start now. But I’m curious how many others out there are interested in true crime.. How many people are both fascinated and horrified by the macabre.. and how many fear reality more than fiction?

thedoomreport IT was the fun not knowing.. the idea that the truth was just ‘out there’ on the X FILES, and all of that was just fake. Right? All fun and fake.. Soup Nazis on Seinfeld and the Clinton scandals that weren’t really. Those were the days—the 90s were a decade about nothing. A decade in which we were infuriated about issues that didn’t matter. And I was moving through my teens toward 20, paying less than a buck a gallon for gas in a little Chevy car and staying awake often until sunrise listening to Art Bell with my father or friends.
Then the knowing began as I aged.. After 9/11, after floods and fury across the globe. And I began to know..
The knowing..
The fun all happens before that.
Thanks for the question—it made me think..

Questions but no answers..
I got some questions this weekend with my 'open lines' but nothing worthy of a mention..Feel free to try to impress me with just another factoid or question that may rock my world.
In the mean time, I have a somewhat selfish question for a reason.. I have this website, COAL SPEAKER, but I also have another one named the HORROR REPORT—something for the more surreal and unreal headlines, it’s coded with Wordpress, and it’s been around for a long time. I made a mirror site and, quite suddenly, the traffic on the secondary location surged higher than the original..
Mind you, either site you choose is probably one you’ve never heard of, of course that is unless you caught the brief millisecond of time the HORROR REPORT appeared on BROAD CITY..
Anyway, to make a not-needed-to-be-wordy post less wordy, I would ask a favor of anyone who has time.. send me a message or email and tell me which is your choice: www.horrorreport.com or www.nightterrornews.com .. at this time, they will be identical in all ways except design..
Thanks for the time, if you have it.

I hate your website, you are a shill for the coal companies. They ruined my water in west virginia, and you celebrate them.
Wow.. I don’t know what to say or how to answer this one.
I don’t really think you’ve read much on this site.. I am from a region in Pennsylvania called the ‘coal region’ where anthracite coal is mined—hence the name. As for me? I am not a coal miner .. I do burn coal as a heat source in my home, but that’s because, again, I am from the anthracite coal region.
I really, really don’t think you’ve ever read my blog..

Open lines weekend
It is a beautiful weekend and in my opinion either a sin crime against humanity if you don’t get out and enjoy it..
But in the meantime my lines are open throughout the weekend.. ask me anything, tell me anything. I’m calling it the ‘DO ASK, DO TELL’ weekend in June..
Enjoy life, all.
