feature some great works from authors who haven’t had their imaginative scrolls of horror
presented in this inner sanctum from the crypt and into the daylight. We dare to publish

Kegare.org |
Kegare is Japanese for negative spiritual energy. This
must see sight offers a view of the world from the other
side of learning. "But what about the other side of reality. The darker side. Is there any use in it? The same God that created everlasting life also created botulism. From God’s wisdom, each has a place. And it is our job to find out. But from the true source of wisdom, reality and not from the Bible. The bible is seemingly silent on the subject of botulism, or cigarettes, crack, or napalm. I’m not into either, but I can’t figure why we think hot man-on-man action is worse than hot napalm-on-man action.
This blog is an experiment in investigating kegare."
