Paranormal Activity
Paranormal activity. It’s all the rage in the 21st century. With the advent of such shows as SciFi’s (can’t deal with the SyFy moniker) Ghost Hunters, the paranormal has become, well…normal. That’s probably a good thing. It has also become synonymous with ghosts, and that’s a bad thing. A bad thing because paranormal means outside the normal, anything outside the normal. Not just wispy shapes that bump in the night or speak an innocuous word on Grant’s digital recorder, but also huge, shaggy beasts that rip machine gunners apart, fanged vampires that caress bloody bullet holes as if they were long-lost lovers, and a demon who delights in convincing a young woman to munch her own eyeball.
That is the creepy stuff, the paranormal activity in my World at War: Revelation, which is due out this weekend. There are no vampires that glisten in the sun or buff werewolves that only have the heroine’s best interests at heart. In a word, my paranormal is gritty. Not Saw 17 gross, not Jennifer’s Body suggestive, just gritty. It is, as the word paranormal indicates, outside the normal.
See you tomorrow.
