In the Zone


Over at the Fate SF blog, John introduced a cool community project inspired by the science fiction novel Roadside Picnic and the 1979 film based on it, Stalker. Porky's already got a contribution in, and Hereticwerks has made some cool logos (like the one above).

I had intended to jump in today, but going to Thor: The Dark World ate up my evening. I'm going to get my contribution ready for next week, and I encourage other bloggers (or nonbloggers for that matter) to think about getting in on it.

The Zone is waiting for you. It always is...

I was going to call you a tease, but then it struck me that holding off builds the tension, even the expectation, and that becomes almost a nod to the approach the film itself takes. That taut space, and the black background here, also makes me think your blog, like a few others in these parts, is almost a Zone on its own, a dark funhouse of lethal concepts, but expansive and exhilarating at the same time.
