This Isn’t Disneyland

Be advised that some of the material posted here may (and, in fact, does) contain strong language and mature themes. Also, people often get killed in various ways; it's an occupational hazard when you're a character in a horror story.

Note that most of the Amazon.com links on this site go through my Amazon affiliate gateway, which means Amazon gives me a kickback (or, if you're buying one of my books, an extra kickback) on the purchase price. Hope you don't mind ... There's no extra charge applied by Amazon for using the gateway.
