It all began when I saw this movie on cable television - STARZ was the channel. What started out as typical SciFi channel fair turned into an intriguing tale of an Alternate history earth where vampires were real. And the way they were real was told in a very believable way. I told my visitors about it, but I couldn't really review it because it was only a made for TV movie - not everyone could watch it. Still, I was hooked, and when the DVD came out, I wrote up a three Shriek Girl review of it. Around this time, Christos N. Gage aka Chris, was googling through the Internet, looking for any word on the film he and his fiance (now wife) Ruth Fletcher (now Ruth Gage) wrote. He came across my positive announcement, warmly applauded my keen taste, one thing led to another, and Chris started writing reviews for the site like ... like mad!

Chris is a driven man, and has since gone on to writing television series and comic books. Because he writes comic books, he no longer feels right about reviewing other writer's work. This page is an archive of the voice of someone I feel will be widely regarded as one of the top writers in Comic Books and Graphic Novels.
