Everyone in town is gathering and conversing as if … Continue reading The Shape of Stories

However, now-a-days we have advances in technology that allow us to communicate with people around the world, instantly. This changes the way that a story affects … Continue reading Has Storytelling Changed Over Time?

I enjoyed watching The Twilight Zone’s “Living Doll”, Night Gallery’s “The Doll”, and Trilogy of Terror’s “Amelia”.
