Hostages and nightmare

The New Neo Posted on December 5, 2023 by neoSeptember 16, 2024

The New Neo Posted on February 9, 2023 by neoSeptember 2, 2023

When death comes for bloggers

The New Neo Posted on January 30, 2023 by neoSeptember 2, 2023

Reading old letters

The New Neo Posted on January 18, 2023 by neoSeptember 2, 2023

The New Neo Posted on November 13, 2021 by neoSeptember 16, 2024

The ladder of evil

The New Neo Posted on April 10, 2021 by neoSeptember 2, 2023

[NOTE: This is a repeat of a previous post. Unfortunately, it seems as though it’s always a timely subject, and right now even more timely. So I thought it could use another go-round, very slightly edited.] Commenter “Ymarsakar” once made … Continue reading →

The New Neo Posted on February 24, 2018 by neoSeptember 2, 2023

I never really loved you

The New Neo Posted on October 1, 2016 by neoFebruary 4, 2023

Christ in the stranger’s guise

The New Neo Posted on September 8, 2016 by neoSeptember 2, 2023

Recently something reminded me of a book I had first read back in the 1980s, one I would recommend to everyone. It’s called Hasidic Tales of the Holocaust, and it’s quite different from most Holocaust literature: An important work of … Continue reading →

The New Neo Posted on August 8, 2016 by neoFebruary 22, 2018
