Bigfoot Hunters in Love by Jamie Fessenden

He was a jack-of-all-trades – a doctor, philosopher, writer, and composer – so the story is about the discovery of a mass written by Ficino, which could go one step further and pull the soul back into the body after death. In this novel, I delved into the writings of Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499), the Italian scholar who was more or less responsible for bringing the works of Plato to the West, and who believed that music could heal the human body by bringing our pure spiritual form into harmony with our physical form.

EPIC.Īfter publishing some short stories and novellas (one I’d consider novel-length, in its second edition), I decided to dive into a full-length novel in same vein as The Da Vinci Code, in which the characters are piecing together an occult mystery by researching ancient tomes. Some made it into festivals, but our big project, “The Resurrection,” was never finished, due to lack of locations willing to allow naked people covered in blood to run around on their premises. If you go to the YouTube channel for Dunkirk Studios, you can see some trailers for other films we worked on.

We were experimenting with lighting and learning how to use our new camera crane (basically a teeter-totter device that allowed the camera to smoothly pan up and down). Sadly, ours “won,” simply because it was the only submission, but I’m proud of it. They had a contest for filmmakers to submit ads for the festival. I made it for the Eerie Horror Fest in 2006. It’s really grisly, so don’t watch it if you don’t go for gore. They were of variable quality, and unfortunately you can only see one, at present, on YouTube. For a very brief time, I made micro-budget horror films.

I love horror, so I’m actually surprised I haven’t written more of it. I missed Halloween with this post, so I’ll aim for the Day of the Dead instead! My intent was to blog about some of the scary/creepy stories I’ve written over the years.
