February's blog: Revellian Dot Com
Revellian Dot Com: Reader Beware. Some of the
time.
I
can’t do it.
I can’t possibly sum up Revellian.Com.
Even its tag line,
Psycho-Linguistical Dialectology: From the
Edge, while
pithy and funny and in a sense descriptive,
doesn’t do blogger Bobby
Revell’s work
justice.
I could say that one of the hallmarks of
Bobby’s blog is his transgressional
fiction, dark
tales with vivid descriptions and
on-the-brink characters oozing bodily
fluids and squinting through a lucid haze.
These stories may not be for everyone. As
I write, the latest post on Revellian.Com
is "The
Demon Witch: Sexual
Psychotropic," with
lines like "Undulating intentions as she
oozed, sticky slime slug melting atop as
we engrafted–merging fluidic flesh. She
hungered for my warmth and I for iced
mucous–malignant sludge folding into one.
Suckling human lozenge."
Perhaps this
is not your cup of tea (and you have been
warned). But even a squeamish
type–like me, for
example–can see the
humor and surreal eloquence in Bobby’s
fiction.
To call Revellian.Com a horror fiction blog
would be misleading. Balancing out the
fiction are articles on blogging, with
content that
delivers. Bobby
picks apart the world of money-making blogs
and cuts right to the chase on
Entrecard, arguing
that while it helps raise stats, the quality
of the Entrecard traffic is generally low,
with most participants staying just long
enough to drop. He also takes on the "holy
trinity" of
Twitter, Facebook, and
StumbleUpon.
Just when you think you've gotten this blog
figured out, that it's a little
transgressional fiction mixed in with
informative blogging tips, Bobby gets
personal, writing about his struggles
with
depression. He
discusses
philosophy. And to
lighten things up, there’s
twisted humor as well!
Revell has been writing most of his life. He
is also (among many other things) a guitarist
and a student of several martial arts and the
practice of Zen, interested in "the mysteries
of human thought and everything in between."
He believes "in truth, not mythology." And
his platform, Revellian.Com is definitely
worth a closer look, no matter your
predilections.
