My review for Sapphire and Steel: Zero is up on Unreality SF

The murders, the monster in space, the voice on the radio only able to respond using words that have been spoken by others - Zero is suffused with the creepiness requisite for a good Sapphire & Steel story. The tone throughout is a ghostly combination of Stephen King and Edgar Allan Poe...

Motto by nancybrown

Where's My Cow by googlebrat
about a page, worksafe

A very expensive, very rare cow has gotten lost in Ankh-Morpork, and it's up to Vimes and the Watch to find it.

And now, he was stuck in some nightmarish children's book, vowing to never again criticise how anyone got confused trying to Find Their Cow. He'd never truly believed how stupid people could be about finding a cow until he'd asked the guards.
