Being Human is a supernatural television drama. It is an adaptation of the British show of the same name. Being Human, Season One – Drama…of The Supernatural Variety So, a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost walk into a Boston bar…nope, not a joke. Welcome to Being Human, a remake of the BBC’s supernatural drama of the same name. I never watched the British version of this show, nor was the US version on my radar. I just came across it while the Syfy channel was airing every episode of the first season back to back. The Basic Premise […]
Witchblade, the Television Series
Witchblade, The Television Series – Two Seasons of Action and Adventure Witchblade was a short-lived, but well-made, action drama television series based on the comic book series of the same name. I was a little surprised to find out a television adaptation of the Witchblade comic book series existed. Although I read some of the comics back in the day, I couldn’t remember the full story. Which is good, because it helped me get into the show without any preconceived notions. Witchblade is the story of Sara Pezzini, played by the ever-enigmatic Yancy Butler, an NYC homicide detective. Sara encounters […]
The John Cleaver Series by Dan Wells
The John Cleaver series is a trilogy of books by author Dan Wells. They are supernatural horror/thriller novels labeled as Young Adult fiction. Even though they feature the exploits of a fifteen-year-old kid, don’t let the YA designation fool you. These books are full of terrible things happening to people of all ages…for your entertainment. I heard of these books while listening to the Writing Excuses podcast, of which Dan Wells is one of the cast. He often speaks about the writing process by referring to his first novel, I Am Not a Serial Killer. In fact, it’s probably the […]

It started with I Am Not a Serial Killer, continues in the second novel Mr. Monster and finishes here, in I Don’t Want to Kill You. “John Wayne Cleaver has called a demon—literally called it on the phone—and challenged it to a fight.” I Don’t Want to Kill You is the third and final book of Dan Wells’ John Cleaver trilogy. It is a supernatural horror novel with a YA label. It looks like […]
Mr. Monster
Mr. Monster, Book Two of The John Cleaver Series by Dan Wells Mr. Monster is a supernatural horror story by Dan Wells. It is the second book in the John Cleaver series. The series starts with I Am Not a Serial Killer, and continues in this second novel, Mr. Monster. Mr. Monster (John Cleaver) No Description Continuing the Story I was a little concerned about where the story was going to go after the conclusion of I Am Not a Serial Killer. The original book existed comfortably as a standalone novel. Any continuation of the story would have to jump deeper into […]
I Am Not a Serial Killer
A Look at I Am Not a Serial Killer, a Young Adult, Supernatural Horror Novel by Dan Wells I Am Not a Serial Killer is a YA supernatural horror novel. It is the debut novel of Dan Wells. You may or may not know who Dan Wells is. I only know of him because I listen to the Writing Excuses podcast, of which he is a part. Well, I just finished reading his debut novel, I Am Not a Serial Killer. You should be able to tell, just from the title, this is not the normal thriller fare. In fact, […]
