Timm the Vampire follows the misadventures of a normal guy with a normal, if not terrible job, and a normal, if not horrendous roommate. He just so happens to be a vampire. After around 400 years of life (if you can call it that), Timm encounters a young woman who he thinks is kind of sexy, if not a little deranged. Not to mention his roommate's habit of killing whores is really getting out of hand.

Why You Should Listen Because America’s elections aren’t haunted by fraud, they’re haunted by ghosts. This essay pulls back the velvet curtain on our most sacred political ritual and reveals what’s really happening behind the patriotic pageantry: a full-blown séance disguised as democracy. You’ll meet the restless spirits who still cast their ballo…

Why You Should Listen Because the world’s cleverness has outpaced its conscience. This essay invites you to explore the quiet revolution that begins within — where intellect humbles itself before empathy, and where clarity and compassion might finally walk side by side.

The definitive time travel story, H. G. Wells' The Time Machine (1895), focuses on a protagonist who visits the extremely far future. Across over a century of time travel tales, in most cases it is the people of our own time who visit either the past or the future. Rather less commonly, the contemporary world plays host to a visitor from another er…

Why You Should Listen This essay is for anyone who feels the quiet sickness of our age—the flattening of thought, the worship of ignorance, the fear of knowing too much. Through the lens of Odin’s sacrifice, it asks what we are willing to lose to regain our moral and intellectual sight. It is a myth reborn as warning, a mirror for modern cowardice,…

Why You Should Listen Because the empire we live under doesn’t wear armor—it wears packaging. Because every phone, tank of gas, and bite of food carries the fingerprints of conquest. Because understanding the empire of extraction isn’t about guilt—it’s about awakening. This isn’t a sermon about despair. It’s a map of memory. It reveals how empire h…

Why You Should Listen If you’ve ever felt that modern life demands your faith without calling it that, this essay is for you.

Why You Should Listen Because this essay isn’t about politics—it’s about civilization’s quiet heartbeat.

Published in 1937, Katharine Burdekin's Swastika Night is a chilling depiction of a far-future fascist dystopia, in which the triumph of Nazism also represents oblivion for humanity and freedom. A precursor to Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), this is an under-recognised and chilling vision of the future which is troublingly relevant today. Get…

Why You Should Listen This is a warning shot. In Nazi Germany, policing didn’t collapse overnight. It consolidated, piece by piece, until ordinary cops became regime enforcers. The Gestapo, Kripo, and Orpo were absorbed into the SS, then fused under the RSHA. From there, resistance inside the system was impossible. Today, ICE is draining local depa…

The Count of Monte Cristo make not seem like the likeliest template for an SF novel, but Alfred Bester was able to take this 19th century French classic and turn it into the basis for his 1956 book The Stars My Destination.
