Let's see, where to begin.....I suppose an explanation of my blog title is as good a starting point as any. In short, I've always been fascinated by the idea of multiversal existence (or “quantum universes” as it’s also referred to as). The idea that there are an infinite number of universes with an infinite number of "Erics" living an infinite number of varying lives. Being all too human, I have made numerous mistakes - part of the evolutionary cycle of living, I know. Sometimes it almost feels like I'm the universe's beta version of myself, a trial run before the final product. Somewhere out there, in the vastness of time and space, is a version of me that got it all right. This is what happens when you're a lifelong fan of science fiction and film: your mind goes to some supremely unusual places. But quite simply I'm just a scribbler who enjoys sharing a word or two about the things I'm most passionate about in life. And if you've enjoyed my weirdness thus far, it is for you that I continue to share.

When Clive Barker’s Nightbreed was released in February of 1990, I was but a wee lad of 14 years. To say I was “innocent” would be to spin the truth into an […]
There are few pleasures afforded us mere mortals as unquestionably divine as a glass of vino. It’s the perfect marriage of nature and human ingenuity. Through the years, I’ve come to discover […]
I can’t pinpoint the exact moment when my attention was commandeered and diverted to the shelf of my comic shop displaying those beautifully rendered volumes of Richard Starkings’ Elephantmen, but it was […]
I feel a disturbance in the Force, as if millions of bank accounts suddenly cried out in terror over the prospect of being pillaged this coming Friday; an inevitability of utmost certainty. […]
I’m sure by now you’re all well-versed in the grumblings permeating throughout the online as well as the offline community. According to popular consensus, the latest incarnation of Marvel’s First Family is […]
I wrote this story as a result of a challenge – to his followers – from an author’s blog I read. The gent’s name is Chuck Wendig and his blog is called terribleminds. I […]
