Reading Sanctum Potpourri #20: All Hallows Month Book Goal (Part II)

Most of you know that I read more than I watch television and movies. I set a goal to read only Horror novels for October, and tried to read 20. I only managed 19, but have finished the 20th on November 1st. So, here is a quick gander at what I read, and how I […]

Reading Sanctum Potpourri #20: All Hallows Month Book Goal (Part I)

When the Beard and I received an email in August from WordPress asking whether we were going to renew our site, the Beard and I had to do some soul-searching. Were we going to allow our five years of work to drop by the wayside? (It’s now six and we renewed for two more years.) […]

All Hallows Month: Reading Sanctum #25 “AFterlife with Archie” Comics

We have lately begun to call ourselves media critics, because we, Two Grey Geeks, refuse to be pigeon-holed to critiquing one mediated reality over all others. People could opine that we may be heavy on movies or TV, but they could not say we ignore everything else. We are more like 7-11. We may not […]

All Hallows Month: Reading Sanctum #24 — The Invisible Man

Just to reiterate, the book is one of the Beelzebub Classics with Poe on the […]

Geektoberfest Year 4: Reading Sanctum: Flight of the Raven #1

So you might have heard that the Mustache and the Beard lost power for 24 days after Hurricane Fiona hit. My baby sister passed away in June, and it’s been a rough couple of months so we have not posted since August. Ugh! It could not be helped. However, we are back with our horror […]

High June: Reading Sanctum #23 — The Curse of Capistrano

Way back in March of 2020, The Mustache and the Beard celebrated our 100th post with a video called “The Definitive 50 Books a Geek Must Read Before Dying.” However, pretentious that might sound, we endeavored to recall every book we had ever read which we considered essential primers for well-rounded Geekery as a whole.

High June: Reading Sanctum #22 — The E.C. Archives

As a kid, I loved the EC (Educational Comics) company for its incredibly extensive horror catalogue, but who knew that they created other things, too.
