Revisiting Thriller with Boris Karloff: Season 2, Episode 7 – “The Last of the Sommervilles”

June 20, 2024

As you guys who have been around for a while are aware, I’ve been (very) slowly making my way through the 1960s Thriller series, hosted by Boris Karloff. Though up to now I’ve been making posts and videos discussing six episodes at a time (a tradition I started for reasons I can’t even remember now), … More Revisiting Thriller with Boris Karloff: Season 2, Episode 7 – “The Last of the Sommervilles”

Books: The Haunting of Whitehall Manor by L.V. Pires

June 6, 2024

I was in the mood recently for a good old-fashioned gothic horror story, and lo and behold, my Kindle Unlimited recommendations seemed to read my mind once again, offering for my literary pleasure the gothic novel The Haunting of Whitehall Manor by L.V. Pires. I had never read anything by this author before, but she’s … More Books: The Haunting of Whitehall Manor by L.V. Pires

LM Kaplin is a writer from upstate New York, and the 2024 book I’m discussing today, Mine: A Psychological Horror, appears to be his first full-length novel (prior to this, he had a short story in an anthology called Screams from the Ocean Floor, and published a collection of his own vampire short stories called … More Books: Mine: A Psychological Horror by LM Kaplin

Books: The Devil and Mrs. Davenport by Paulette Kennedy

April 21, 2024

Another random spin of the Kindle Unlimited wheel has brought me yet another wildly entertaining read, thank goodness. I’m not entirely sure why I chose Paulette Kennedy’s 2024 novel The Devil and Mrs. Davenport over all the other recommendations on offer; something about the title and the “midcentury suburbia” vibe of the cover just really … More Books: The Devil and Mrs. Davenport by Paulette Kennedy

Books: The Absolutely Fine Novel by Foray Jumpman

April 19, 2024

Some time ago, I was contacted by a California-based author named Foray Jumpman, and he asked if I would read and review his 2023 book The Absolutely Fine Novel, the first in a seven-book series. He acknowledged that it wasn’t a genre I would usually cover, but you guys know me, I’m pretty open-minded, so … More Books: The Absolutely Fine Novel by Foray Jumpman

Movies: The Dark Half (1993)

March 3, 2024

When I posted my review of Fright Night Part 2 a few days ago, a listener named Scott commented on my Facebook page that he’d like to see a review of the 1993 Stephen King adaptation The Dark Half. I could have sworn Tom and I had reviewed that movie on 13 O’Clock already, but … More Movies: The Dark Half (1993)

Books: Children of the Dark by Jonathan Janz

February 20, 2024

I decided it was high time for another spin of the Kindle Unlimited roulette wheel, and happily, I ended up hitting the jackpot. Literally the only two reasons I chose Children of the Dark by Jonathan Janz were because one, the cover is all retro and cool as shit; and two, I had never read … More Books: Children of the Dark by Jonathan Janz

Books: The Neighbor by London Clarke

December 12, 2023

Part of the fun of having a Kindle Unlimited subscription is playing what I like to call Kindle Roulette, where I just browse through the dozens of recommendations on offer and choose a book completely at random, sometimes solely from the title or a cool-looking cover design. On occasion, this method has kinda bitten me … More Books: The Neighbor by London Clarke
