Guest Post by Spencer Blohm - Frankenstein Adaptations Through the Years.


Victor Frankenstein, one of the most exciting movies to come out during this holiday season, is a new take on the old Mary Shelley classic. Ever since Shelley wrote Frankenstein as a teenager in 1818, the story of a patchwork man reanimated after death has chilled readers and moviegoers on a primal level. The work has survived dozens of film, TV, and theater adaptations, each one more grisly and grim than the last - but why are we so fascinated with this story and the mythology of Frankenstein's monster?

Mary Shelley was only nineteen years old when she conceived the idea for Frankenstein during a contest with her peers based on who could write the scariest story. It remained her most famous work and became a classic of gothic horror. Some even say Shelley invented the science fiction genre with her book because it mixes ideas of biology, engineering, and psychology to create a compelling fantasy story. Frankenstein is still studied and enjoyed in high schools and colleges all over the world almost 200 years after its publication, and continues to have a looming presence in both the literary and film worlds.

Frankenstein has been a popular book to adapt to screen ever since the conception of film. It hit the stage in the 1820s before being adapted to film for the first time in a 16 minute short film in 1910. But the most well-known adaptation was James Whale's 1931 Frankenstein through Universal Studios, which gave audiences the perception we still hold of the monster today. Actor Boris Karloff popularized the idea of a flat-headed, moaning monster with screws on his neck - a character we still commonly see around Halloween.

Due to the popularity of Karloff's portrayal, Frankenstein's monster became a huge hit with horror audiences. He reappeared in 1935 in the acclaimed Bride of Frankenstein (find it online), which is said to be one of the greatest horror films ever made. However, this sequel began a long string of Frankenstein films that diverted from the source material. Though the monster stayed generally true to form, he was given a female companion, something Victor Frankenstein decided against in the novel. In 1939, horror actor Bela Lugosi (known for portraying Count Dracula) appeared alongside Karloff in Son of Frankenstein as lab assistant Igor - a character that does not exist in the literary tale - showing how these classic horror stories all meshed together to create a popular mythology among moviegoers.

As Universal Studios horror films waned in popularity, Frankenstein's monster took a backseat until Mel Brooks’ 1974 comedy hit Young Frankenstein, starring Gene Wilder. This film (streaming info here) loosely adapted the story while poking fun at the gothic style of previous films. It let the monster tap dance and groan out a song while Victor Frankenstein tried desperately to clear his family's name. Rather than an all-out spoof, it comes off as a loving homage to a classic story, inviting new audiences outside the horror genre to enjoy the tale.

2015's Victor Frankenstein, starring James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe and directed by Paul McGuigan, focuses more heavily on the creator and lab assistant of the monster than the monster himself, showing that even an old story can take on new and interesting points of view in each adaptation. Even though Shelley's novel is a classic, it still makes audiences question what it means to be human and to create life, making it a popular and ever-relevant tale to turn into film.

Guest Post Andrew Man - Dystopian Adventures vs. Conspiracy Thrillers.

Over the last few years, young adult dystopian fiction has seen a spike in popularity with several young authors writing trilogies like The Hunger Games and Divergent which have become best-selling books and films. These ideas are in contrast to past conspiracy thrillers from writers like Dan Brown and the thought-provoking espionage novels of John Le CarrĂ©. Based on this rise in popularity between the two genres, I decided to write a fiction series which would be a modern day conspiracy thriller, with some of the dystopian ideas from the future. In this way, the reader is able to relate to the characters, in our current world and read about the same characters in a world fifty years in the future. ‘Tego Arcana Dei’ is a three part thriller series which follows the protagonist through his adventures in his past working life, up to the present day. These three books are both exciting and mind bending, as shown in the book trailer for Forces of Retribution, leaving the reader wanting to know more. The final book will debut later this month, so let’s take a closer look at this three book series.

Book 1 - Keeping Gods Secret (2011)
The British hero James Pollack meets a young American on a train in London who shows him events which he will have to do in his future life. Britain is suffering under a recession and James leaves to work for a bank in Switzerland– only to return to the Caribbean island of Antigua for a meeting. Her name is Gina; her client is the Commander of one of the world’s most powerful agencies. As the couple plunge into a dizzying, mystical adventure, American powers collide with secrets at the Vatican summer palace. James is helped by Deepak his guardian who shows him a circle of wormholes leading from Rome down to ancient ruins in Lebanon. Meanwhile, the antagonist Elizabeth tracks his banking activities and his travel with unusual friends. The story takes James back to the shadowy corridors of Italian Banking, his excitement heightened by memories of his escape in Rome with Alexei a young legal assistant. This leads him on to the Russian Natasha at an archeologically dig on the coast of Lebanon, where they find an ancient artefact. A magic blade enabling him to time travel to other dimensions, and so the real adventure starts.

Book 2 - Forces of Retribution (2013)
In this story’s most powerful, and heart stopping novel yet, James is at a hospital in Geneva, after major surgery from his time travel experiences. Locations move back to Lebanon, London, and onto the pyramids in Egypt in a desperate hunt to find the secret of quantum weirdness. The hunter is the passionate and resourceful James Pollack, an ex-Swiss banker who has an interest in science, the paranormal and women. His quarry is the young Italian Alexei, who has given up on her life and seeks his help to time travel from a Centre of Science in Switzerland, to the very heart of our Universe, fifty years into the future.

This story picks up where the first book left off continuing to follow the Russian Natasha trapped in another dimension in the South of Lebanon. While Natasha is on the run in a warzone she is given an ancient Madonna doll which James finds he can open with his magic blade. Inside they find a mysterious time travelling medallion, similar to the one used by their Indian guardian and needed by his friends to return from the future. We get a glimpse into how string theory can explain multiple universes and some of the theories as to what the pyramids in Egypt really are. There is a very anthropological dialogue about the origins of humans and the evolution from Mitochondrial Eve. The benevolent guardian Deepak again appears to control who and what appears and where to help James solve the mystery of instant communication.

Book 3 - Beyond the Rest of Us (2015)
The final book is set in the current decade, when James now retired is kidnapped at a Geneva hotel for crimes he doesn’t understand and an Italian cruise ship crashes into rocks in the Tyrrhenian Sea. A respected American scientist disappears into thin air, but when the mist clears, we see mind control and astral travel in their dreams. Elizabeth the antagonist from the previous books is still following a trail of corrupt power in this third book featuring Andrew Man’s aging male protagonist James Pollack.

In this story, when James is kidnapped back to 1814 he has to use all his skills to uncover the corrupt European operation, against the backdrop of a disintegrating and unscrupulous world. The story mentions the crumbling European economy and the conflicts in the Middle East and the part the West had to play in them. We cross continents, eras and astral planes on this journey and meet a variety of James’ friends and enemies, before the characters return to the temples in Lebanon to finish the series.

The title of the series Tego Arcana Dei roughly translates to “Begone, I conceal the secrets of God” and is an anagram of “Et in Arcadia Ego.” This was represented in a painting by Poussin in the early 1600’s called ‘The Arcadian Shepherds’, which is a common theme throughout the three books.



Andrew Man is an independent author, of books about politics, science and conspiracy theories. He lives and writes in Switzerland. In addition to his writing, he has formed the Geneva Creatives Group with www.stage32.com and can sometimes be found at a cinema centre, discussing new projects over a glass of wine.

Guest Post by Spencer Blohm - Dystopian Adaptations Continue to Dominate the Big Screen.


Over the last few years, young adult dystopian fiction has seen a spike in popularity with a number of adaptations making it to the big screen. Trilogies like The Hunger Games and Divergent were not only best-sellers, but also came out on top dominating the box office upon their on screen debuts. This rise in popularity could be attributed to audiences being able to relate so closely to the characters, or it could purely be the entertainment factor of watching a dystopian world played out. Either way, these stories are both exciting and mind bending, and leave audiences constantly wanting more. In anticipation of the fourth and final installment in the Hunger Games franchise premiering this month, let’s take a look back at the top five adaptations of the genre.

Ender's Game

Ender's Game takes place in the distant future where young boy named Andrew “Ender” Wiggin is said to be a brilliant strategist and fighter. During the course of the film, his incredible skills are mastered and he is successful in destroying the planet Earth is at war with. One of the best scenes in the movie is when Ender is sparring with a friend in a zero gravity room above Earth, the cinematics of the scene are truly breathtaking. Even though the author played a role in the adaptation, fans of the book agree the movie lacked in terms of plot and character development. But what the film compensates for the lack of substance by delivering stunning visuals and a condensed version of the tale without compromising the lead character or core message.

Insurgent

Insurgent picks up right where Divergent left off continuing to follow Erudite leader Jeanine on her mission to dominate the factions and an end to all divergents. Tris and Four are on the run from Jeanine and her army of evil, and appear to be the only ones capable of saving the world and revealing the truth about the Erudites. While both movies in the series, currently on demand through DTV & Hulu, have streamlined the story on screen, Insurgent took far more liberties and altered the driving force behind the story. In the movie, there is a mysterious box that can only be opened by a divergent, Tris, after passing sims of all five factions. However, this box does not even exist in the book, and Jeanine’s hunting Tris in order to make a serum. These alterations in the storyline left fans wondering what this meant for the Allegiant adaptation and where we will see Tris and Four next.

The Giver

The Giver is a story of a young boy named Jonas who lives in what appears to be a utopian society. Jonas and the rest of his neighbors live in a peaceful area that is protected by a council of elders. Far more intelligent than other children his age, he is selected to be The Receiver of Memories upon graduation. While in his new position, he quickly discovers that people are basically being brainwashed, arranged in marriage, and even euthanized. The movie does a good job of taking the major points of the book and putting them on screen. Other than there being a few film differences that are actually celebrated by fans of the story, the movie does a great job of telling a story full of ethics and complex issues without being too heavy-handed.

The Maze Runner

The Maze Runner follows Thomas as he wakes up in transport to an unknown location. After a short time, Thomas discovers that he is trapped in a large maze. His goal is to escape and save the others that are stuck in the same predicament. The film adaption of The Maze Runner did its best to stick to the main plot of the book, but there are still a few changes that took place. Thomas begins to remember things from his life very quickly in the film, Alby and Thomas are friendly with each other, and Teresa doesn’t spend half of the time in a coma. The book version offers much more intimate and in-depth character building throughout, but that’s almost to be expected. And in comparison to reactions to the changes made from the source material in The Scorch Trials adaptation, fans were relatively pleased with these.

Hunger Games, Mockingjay Part 1

The Hunger Games series is arguably the greatest dystopian film franchise of all time. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 takes place after Katniss is rescued from Quarter Quell. She wakes up underneath District 13, and she learns that her home, District 12, has been destroyed. As Katniss is saddened by the news of her home's destruction, she also learns of a rebellion taking place in order to dethrone President Snow with herself as the leading symbol. Burrowing deep into the concept of a revolution, this film is a standout among the series with few notable differences from the book. Katniss visits the destroyed city of District 12 much later in the film, and Peeta’s physical description is altered, but we get a better emotional understanding of Katniss and a clear showing of the power of propaganda cleverly put forth by Snow.

It’s never easy adapting a book to the big screen and full capturing every detail to fans expectation. While these strayed from their sources, there no denying the high levels of entertainment put forth by each. With this genre more popular than ever, it’s only a matter of time before another dystopian adaptation is in the works.

Excerpt from Libre: A Silver Ships Novel by S.H. Jucha


“Admiral on the bridge,” announced Julien, the RĂªveur’s SADE.  “At ease,” Alex said as the crew braced to attention. This will take some getting used to, Alex mentally groused as he strode onto the starship’s bridge, attired in his new, four-star uniform, to join his officers and RenĂ©e de Guirnon, his House Co-Leader and lover.

Three hours ago, the RĂªveur had exited a faster-than-light (FTL) jump from Bellamonde to outside of Arno’s heliosphere. Their ship was headed in system toward the planet Libre, carrying the crew’s prize, in the starboard bay, a captured silver ship. The cost of capturing the enemy fighter had been high … one pilot, Jase Willard, and two of the RĂªveur’s four fighters.

Alex regarded his newly promoted officers, Senior Captain Bonnard, Captain Manet, Commander Tachenko, and Squadron Leader Reynard; all standing particularly straight and proud, while sneaking appraising glances at one another. Their new uniforms, adorned with gold rating stars, the House Alexander insignia, and the RĂªveur’s patch, had gone over quite well. They have a right to be proud, Alex thought. They’ve accomplished something the Confederation hadn’t dared attempt in seven decades … the capture of a marauding silver ship.

Julien was already gathering information on the Arno system and Libre, the only habitable planet, and its satellites. Housed on the RĂªveur’s bridge in a metal-alloy case that enclosed his circuitry and crystal memory, the self-aware digital entity was the technologically unifying force of a MĂ©ridien starship. FTL jumps were completed by his calculations; FTL communications were sent through his crystals. Every primary system on any Confederation starship could be remotely monitored and controlled by its SADE.

Originally, Alex had sought to return the RĂªveur’s survivors to their home world, but the Confederation was in disarray. Hundreds of ships were seen fleeing MĂ©ridien to escape the encroaching swarm of silver ships. RenĂ©e’s brother, the present House de Guirnon Leader, attempted to usurp their vessel, but the MĂ©ridiens refused to heed his demand. Their response was to abandon their House and declare themselves to be Independents. Their allegiance, from the moment of their revival from seventy years in stasis, had been to their rescuer, Alex, a New Terran explorer-tug Captain.

It was Alex’s suggestion that RenĂ©e, a daughter of House de Guirnon, create her own House. RenĂ©e had embraced the idea, which is how Alex found himself Co-Leader of House Alexander, the Military Affairs Arm of the Confederation Council. Not that their House was official yet, and with the Confederation in chaos, Council approval of the House’s petition might never come.

Alex had hoped that their newly adopted disguise as MĂ©ridien militarists instead of New Terran civilians would lend them authority toward enlisting the services of the Independents and their keepers, House Bergfalk, to help them in the fight against the silver ships. The Independents, MĂ©ridien society’s outcasts, were quarantined on Libre to prevent them from infecting other MĂ©ridiens with their so-called rebellious thoughts and ways.  On the bridge, Alex nodded at Julien’s holo-vid display of Libre and its satellites. “According to Confederation records,” Alex said, “House Bergfalk maintains a single, small orbital station for transfer of the Independents to the planet’s surface. Supposedly, it constitutes Libre’s entire orbital assets.”

Instead of a single station, Alex, RenĂ©e, and the officers were looking at three orbitals. A small one, probably the planet’s original station, was a small speck floating above Libre compared to the two gigantic platforms, each supporting a massive, partially constructed, discus-shaped ship, more than two kilometers across. The immense constructions dwarfed even the long-haul freighters docked opposite the huge ships.  “It appears Confederation records aren’t up to date,” Alex said. “Julien, would you care to hazard a guess about those two enormous saucers?” 

“Yes, Admiral, I would. While their design is not in my archives, it’s my supposition that these ships are FTL-capable cities, designed for long-term habitation.”

“So, no fighting ships,” said Senior Captain Andrea Bonnard, voicing the group’s disappointment.

“No fighting ships,” Alex agreed. He had hoped that House Bergfalk, who had pushed the Confederation Council for an aggressive response to the attacks of the silver ships, might have been working with the Independents to build fighting ships. Alex’s people, the New Terrans, hadn’t possessed warships prior to his discovery of the MĂ©ridiens. And now it appeared the Confederation still hadn’t built any.

S.H. Jucha has had an extensive career as a senior manager in the technical education and software development industries, with degrees in Biology and Broadcast Communications. He has been driven by an innate interest in computers since his initial adoption of an IBM PC in 1981. Jucha’s new novel, The Silver Ships,—the product of extensive planning, researching and development—is now part of a planned five-book series with a potential spin-off in the works.

The Silver Ships is available on Amazon. The next installment in the series, Libre, releases on August 1, 2015.

Guest Post by Nicola Reynor - Ghost Hunting tips!


Beginners Should Read These Ghost Hunting Tips
Ghost hunting sure is thrilling and terrifying at the same time. It makes you want something to happen one second and makes you want things to remain normal the next.
If you’re scared of ghosts but want to try out ghost hunting, nothing should stop you. But you can’t head to any haunted place without knowing anything about ghosts and looking for them!
Here are seven tips that you’ll find useful before heading out on your first ever ghost hunting trip.
Pick a Location
Paranormal activity occurs in several locations so the first thing you need to do is decide the type of ghost or spirit you would like to encounter. Lost souls, spirits of murderers and their victims, accident victims, and others can be found in and around hotels, parks, cemeteries, hospitals, prisons, and private homes, and also near scenes of major disasters or accidents.
As a first-timer, don’t think of spending the night inside a haunted mansion or an abandoned mental asylum. Your safety should be your primary concern and you need to be wary of angry spirits. You also need to be safe from strangers, so avoid going to crime-prone neighborhoods.
Research Well
Once you’ve decided on a location, you’ll need to do a thorough research on that place. Ask locals or use the Internet to get more details about the spirit that has been sighted or reported around the place you intend to visit.
Furthermore, you’ll need to know if the spirit appears during a particular time of the day or night, the exact place where past sightings have been reported, if the spirit is vocal, etc. Being ready with relevant information will help you prepare better for your visit and will help you avoid wasting time.
Most importantly, do take a look at the place or terrain during the day so that you know what to expect.
Never Go Alone
You should never go ghost hunting alone- not just because a spirit could do something to you, but also because there would be no one to help you should you injure yourself physically while walking around in the dark. As such, traveling with a friend or in a group of 3-4 people is recommended.
Taking pet dogs along can also be a great experience. After all, animals have intuitive powers and are able to sense the presence of ghosts!
Prepare for the Visit
You’ll need to be mentally as well as physically prepared before you go ghost hunting. Mentally, you will need to stay relaxed and keep fear out of your system; ghosts rarely hurt people who respect them.
To experience paranormal activity, you need equipment that can prove the presence of a spirit. So the hunting gears like rifle scopes, spotting scopes, guns etc. may or may not help you hunt ghosts! Carry a camping compass- it can act as a simple EMF (electromagnetic field) meter by picking up electromagnetic waves associated with spirits. In addition to this, carry a baking thermometer- spirits are associated with sudden changes in temperature!
Also carry a digital audio recorder and a camera and/or a video camera. Do take along a notepad and a pen to note down your observations in short. When analyzing data later, you’ll be able to relate your observations to other findings easily.
Apart from this, you’ll need to be dressed appropriately and be armed with flashlights, glow sticks, walkie-talkies, ropes, and a first aid kit for the visit.
Don’t Go Under the Influence
Smoking, drinking alcohol, or taking drugs can distort your senses, so don’t indulge in these activities before your visit to the haunted place or while you’re hunting ghosts.
Also avoid setting anything on fire while you’re ghost hunting. Smoke can appear to be an apparition in photographs, and it will also give mischievous or angry spirits something dangerous to use.
Take Permission
Whether you’re going to explore a private or government property, it is important to take permission from the owner or authorities beforehand. You don’t want to turn up at a private home to find someone living in there and have them turn you in for trespassing. Abide by the rules of cemeteries, parks, and other properties to avoid being caught and fined.
Inform Loved Ones
Before undertaking an adventure of this sort, remember to inform your friends or relatives where you’re headed to. Take your mobile along and keep in touch with them so that they can help you should anything go wrong. Ask your ghost hunting team mates to do the same!
Conclusion
Ghost hunting is certainly not for the fainthearted; but at the same time, there’s nothing one should be scared of. If you’re responsible enough, ghost hunting can be fun.
With the tips given here, you now know how to go about planning and preparing for your first ever ghost hunting expedition. So be wise and you’re sure to have an exhilarating experience!
