What's YOUR Poison?

About Me

WELCOME and GREETINGS fellow wanderer. I am glad to see you have happened upon my newest nest. I think I will settle here for awhile and see how I like it. I am always looking for new and exciting playthings, so please feel free to promote your books, bands, and merchandise here. I will be doing so shortly as well. I only ask that you do so politely and respectfully, being courteous to others. Anything less and I will have to ban you from my web.Enjoy the ride, if you dare, and maybe you'll even learn something new when another hapless victim wanders this way. Post comments and information on whatever grabs you, but remember, if you leave anything too naughty, I do bite!Now please enjoy Venom's Vault!Layout made by

My Interests

First and foremost, the purpose of this site is to give artists of every variation the opportunity to extend their network and discovery, not just of one another, but of those who revel in such works but are non-artists themselves. I firmly believe that there is a whole world, untouched and undiscovered by many, that has a great deal to offer outside the realm of the normal, everday corporate world. Much raw and uninhibited talent lies outside of the confines of business and politics, which dictate and stifle creativity to allow them to cram it into mainstream reality.My purpose it to expose great literary prowess, fine artistic ability and muscial genious that has yet to be read, seen or heard by the majority because these artists refuse to sell out to conform to the likes of the larger simply for profit.While I believe all artists appreciate a certain amount of critism, none will be accepted here. This site is here to promote and allow individuals to learn, see and experience new things. Each is entitled to his or her own opinion, but ultimately it is just that. Anyone attempting to accomplish a life goal or dream deserves to be lifted up and encouraged. Those of us who create as a hobby, simply to escape into the labyrinth of fantasy for awhile, whatever that fantasy may be, also deserve ecouragment and respect.Please subscribe to my blog and I hope to keep it up and running with the more "friends" who join the page.Thank you all for your support, and may your creations be an expression of you, a tribute to your aspirations and an inspiration to all!**If anyone should happen by who knows the artist for whom I am using the picture for my profile, please advise. I very much would like to give him or her their due credit for the masterful work that caught my eye!Solicitations for Credit Cards/Gift Cards/Pot'l Scams Will Be Deleted From Any Postings.Kristy Tallman, Horror Author Merchandise, Cool Stuff!

Ask me no questions, I’ll tell you no lies. What wicked thing comes, will meet its demise. Leave tracks in the sand and I’ll follow you home. But beware your betrayal, or the Venom will flow.

Music:

FIRST WEEK OF EACH MONTH: Updates on newest bands and musicians, as well as goings on with promotional entities, charity events, and other items of interest will be

Books:

SECOND WEEK OF EACH MONTH: Newest books, small press information and any new reading recommendations.

Heroes:

THIRD WEEK OF EACH MONTH: Artists Circle for all genres, including merchandise promotion. Okay, okay, this does not fall under Heroes, but I can't change the label, so all other artistic talent falls here until I have to break it down further. THE LAST WEEK OF EACH MONTH I am shooting for reviewing a book. Hopefully I can get through more than one book a month, but contrary to what anyone may think, I do have a life that tends to get in the way of the fun stuff...all the time.
