US elections and the advent of Death City

I was going to blog about the massive amounts of electoral porn we experienced last night.

Yes, south of the border was awash in elections, results, speeches and promises -- enough to titillate even the most jaded political junkies.

But the day is getting on and my desire to re-hash the thrills and chills of a democrate win are beginning to fade.

Instead, I wanted to offer a link to a new site based on a new horror. Most of us are too young to remember the impact of Orson Wells' War of the Worlds. At that time radio WAS the medium. Wells' -- a consummate writer -- engaged the public with a sci-fi horror that caused panic and disturbances all over North America. How thrilling!

Today, the Internet is the medium. Considered the source for news, views and research, the Internet offers us a glimpse into the real, the imagined and the in-between. Enter: the Death City.

A new, serialized writing project, Death City offers us a glimpse into the horrors and realities that could occur if a plague were to befall us.
