This is a new series I am attempting to start and continue for a while. It will concern reviewing anything for which I feel inclined, whether it be a book, movie, tv series, or whatever. Today I happen to feel inclined to review Hideo Kojima’s videogame “Death Stranding”.
These fetch quests offer
a postal loop that ticks off
my P.O.ed boxes.
Following a strand
with fumbling fingers, he frayed
the storytelling.
A Fragile ego
cannot weather the time-fall,
the wrinkles showing.
My red flags were raised
when I first saw the gameplay—
no mail is good mail.
Addressed to fanboys
and Konami with love, yet
dead on arrival.
Encapsulated
in grenades of blood and shit
and Monster piss-takes.
The Higgs particle
is deus ex machina,
but can’t save the plot.
Released just in time
for Christmas, it delivers
the holiday ham.
Stephen Marshall. Writer, illustrator, layabout. Find him on Amazon, maybe. He has paperback and kindle books listed there. He also writes Supernatural Romance under the name S.C. Foster (because his fiancee pushed him to do so). He seems to have a knack for the Romance genre, much to his chagrin. Having pursued Children's literature he is particularly proud of his Children's novel series "Lost And Found", which begins with "Chloe Among The Clover", continues recently with "Stormy Within The Strawberry Patch" and may, in some future potentiality, culminate with "Candice Through The Picket Fence". These are novels for children (including his insistent nephew), but they are also written for adults who are children at heart. His short story collection, "The Eldritch Diaries", centers primarily upon Cosmic Horror and Body Horror, combining Lovecraft's mythos with the motifs of Sigmund Freud. His largest poetry collection, "Broken Crown Kings", contains over two hundred poems and two short novellas concerning the fleeting nature of the world and Man's place within it. Recently he has published a smaller book of poetry concerning Kentucky, Moonshine, and Ghosts called "Moonshine And Spirit Chasers". A much larger collection, entitled '"Nevermore" 99 Rhymes For $0.99' is also available. For those seeking supernatural and folklore, his collection "Weeping Cherry" is available also.
