In this premiere episode of "The God Hook," host Carol Costello introduces the chilling story of Richard Beasley, infamously known as the Ohio Craigslist Killer.

As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Beasley's deceitfulness extends beyond the victims he buried in shallow graves.

a short story I wrote several years ago, about how young, self-absorbed drunks on a bus could have inadvertently added fuel to the revolutionary fires that were building…in pre-revolutionary Iran…and a review of Joseph Synn Kune Loh’s exhibit, “Who Am I” by Bill Maylone
Two young long-haired travellers arrive in Amsterdam in 1973. One of them, hopes and prays that the rest of his "round the world adventure" will improve over "day one"...it can only get better! Or can it?
Two stories - or memoirs - today - Joseph Synn Kune Loh's short story "The Astrologer", and Transient Epileptic Amnesia...one is a young man's encounter at a New Age Conference in Montreal, and the other is one more good reason why you should avoid a life of excess😊
After receiving a 100 year old Blüthner piano, I became fascinated with its long journey to Mayne Island and Shavasana Gallery. Here is a story of how to sleuth the wandering path of an "accidental" piano. (to watch a 5 minute compilation video which I made called "11 Pieces for the Blüthner" go here: https://youtu.be/f_o4JUtccH8 )…
A personal account of the Student Uprising in Athens, November 1973, which led to the overthrow of George Papadopolous and - ultimately - the return of Democracy
A series of unfortunate events...if you believe bad luck happens in threes you suffer from Triaphilia, but we've all been there. Here's a short story called, "The Three Injuries"
"Finding Shavasana" is the first Chapter in the story of The Accidental Curator. The searching, the indecisiveness, the waffling, and finally, the finding of what would eventually become Shavasana Art Gallery & Café. A light-hearted adventure of exploration and change.
This introduction gives - as you might expect - a rough outline of the content of The Accidental Curator as I see future Episodes evolving. My intention is to produce content from existing short stories I have written, interviews I plan on giving, and a new creative narrative - a semi-fictional story - that will evolve over time.…
