One of my favorite time travel stories — no, strike that, my favorite time travel story — is “Vincent Van Gogh”, by Sever Gansovsky. It postulates a future year (1996, a couple decades away when the story was written) where … Continue reading →

The D&D movies

Posted on 2013 September 19 by njwMarch 24, 2015
