Canadian Content

So this new section in my blog is going to be a regular column about horrific stuff made in my home country Canada. I'm moving the the States in a few weeks, and I am going to miss Canada terribly. So this will be my way of still keeping a connection to Canada, and paying tribute to the stuff we make. 

And I tell you, we make plenty of Horror. But the rest of the world doesn't hear about it as much as they should. We have our own publishing houses that do horror and dark fiction, such as Chizine Publications, and Burning Effigy Press (which work as Assistant Editor for), just to name a few places. We have a international Horror magazine called Rue Morgue, which is one of the top horror magazines in the world. Plus we have amazing films being made, some being well received by critics. One very good example of this is Ginger Snaps, which won the Special Jury Citation award at the Toronto International Film Festival. There are also tons of filmmakers, writers, and artists doing wicked work here in Canada. I feel they need a bit of a hat tip.

So to all you Canadian Horror people, if you happen upon this little fledgling blog, please feel free to contact me if you wanna be showcased in my Canadian Content section. Email me at queenie.writes@gmail.com, and I'll check you and your work out. If not I'll just fill this section up with whatever Canadian goodies I find. We have more to offer than just maple syrup, beavers and hockey. I hate hockey, not a fan of maple syrup, but beavers are cool. Very industrious little critters. I also think they are kinda cute. 

Look at that face, and his little tail! Aw! He just wants some wood to build his home. Sure, our animal doesn't look all snotty and proud like the great Bald Eagle, but don't be fooled. If the beaver doesn't get you, his friend the moose will kick your ass! And Canada is full of them too. 

Canada is wild. And I like that.
