Sanctuary

My fears as a child, my preferred reading subject, my main writing topic, my favourite movies, the subject of my thoughts every day without fail. If I were to state my obsession, it would have to be monsters. It matters not, what kind of monster. I’ve read Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein three times, all kinds of stories about vampires, zombies, werewolves, mummys, daemons, ghosts, evil spirits, aliens, dragons, devils, elder gods, the undead, mutants, the list goes on. H. P. Lovecraft created some of my favourite monsters which is one of the reasons he is the top of my reading list: Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, Yog-Sothoth, Azathoth, Dagon, Shoggoth, Mi-Go and Shub-Niggurath, to name a few. My favourite movies also run along the same lines, but television, not so much. I watch a vampire series called True Blood which is not bad and I love Twilight Zone and the Munsters. There was a series a few years ago which I really liked called Fear Itself, but the station cut it half way through the season.

I was watching the Space channel the other day and there was a preview for a show called Sanctuary. I watched a couple of episodes and loved it! It’s about a safe place for monsters to seek refuge from persecution. Right up my alley, a show about monsters. The program is in it’s second season so I have some catching up to do, which I don’t mind at all. I really hope it keeps running, the idea has great potential.
