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.
