NOTES FROM THE UNDERGROUND: Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson’s Illuminatus Trilogy

Greetings, dear reader. It is I, Michael, your neighborhood Parliament House PR rep. I must confess, I’m running out of time down here in the dark. The change in the wind has forced me deep within the bowels of the underground Parliament House secret bunker. Things are getting cramped. Perhaps one day we’ll get a reprieve and return to the land above. Until then, dear reader, I leave you with something to pass the time. The Illuminatus Trilogy- a series of novels (The Eye in

Writer Wednesday: Inspiring Nightmares

When I was little, I would have nightmares on a regular basis. I've got a lot of theories as to why, (Maybe because I grew up in a haunted house? Maybe because I was a scaredy cat growing up?) but regardless, they made a powerful impact on me. At first I would go in to sleep with my parents, finally feeling safe and able to sleep peacefully. They got tired of it eventually though and encouraged me to go back to sleep on my own. It was part of growing up to be honest. One nigh

It took years of rejection, negotiations, and bro
