Thanks once again to my Kindle Unlimited subscription, I happened to randomly come across a fantastic novella by an author I was not previously familiar with, and goddammit, I just love when that happens. Canadian writer Duncan Ralston has penned several novels and novellas, and some short fiction anthologies like Gristle & Bone and Video … More Books: Woom by Duncan Ralston
Like many of the movies I end up watching and covering on this series, I can’t remember exactly how I first heard of 2017’s Super Dark Times, an independent movie that not only marked the directorial debut of cinematographer Kevin Phillips, but managed to scoop up the H.R. Giger Award for Best Feature Film at … More Movies: Super Dark Times (2017)
Man, have I mentioned how much I love it when I pick a book completely at random on Kindle Unlimited and it ends up being one of the best things I’ve read all year? If I haven’t, then I’m mentioning it now; my little horror heart is heaving with happiness. I happened to choose this … More Books: The Bell Chime by Mona Kabbani
The late Jack Ketchum (whose real name was Dallas Mayr) is an author I’ve always been a big fan of; his work isn’t for everyone, as it’s usually quite graphic, and focuses on the worst aspects of humanity, delving deep into the depravity lurking in the hearts of men. The Girl Next Door, based on … More Books: Red by Jack Ketchum
We’re back once again on this potentially endless series, as I break down my five favorite horror films released every year since I was born, and I have to say that even though we’re only three posts in, I’ve already hit something of a snag. While 1974 featured at least two iconic classics that will … More My Favorite Horror Movies from Every Year Since I Was Born: 1974
Nick Cutter, the horror-focused pseudonym of Canadian fiction writer Craig Davidson, made a big splash in the horror community back in 2014 with his excellent (and unbelievably gruesome) novel The Troop, about a small group of Boy Scouts trapped on an island who must contend with not only a sociopath in their midst, but also … More Books: The Deep by Nick Cutter
Today’s topic of discussion is another book that I just chose randomly from the offerings suggested to me on Kindle Unlimited; my only stipulations for the book I wanted to read were that it be generally highly rated, and be set in the winter (since that’s the season in which I read it). I picked … More Books: Autumn Bleeds Into Winter by Jeff Strand
My Best Friend’s Exorcism by Grady Hendrix (2016) Grady Hendrix has quickly become one of my favorite authors working today, not only because of the awesome graphic design elements of his books and the fact that he wrote an amazing non-fiction coffee table book all about the horror paperback boom of the 70s and 80s, … More Five of My Favorite Horror Novels of the 21st Century (So Far)
How I ended up watching this film was something bizarrely like kismet. My boyfriend Tom woke up one Sunday morning, and immediately (and inexplicably) started describing scenes from a movie he’d seen a long time ago, asking if I knew what movie it was. It didn’t sound familiar to me, but then he suddenly remembered … More Movies: Brimstone and Treacle (1982)
As I’ve mentioned before, I don’t usually put a great deal of conscious thought into what books I’m going to read for this series, unless, for example, a friend or trusted reviewer makes a specific recommendation. Most times, I simply browse through whatever is available to read for free on Kindle Unlimited that has a … More Books: Intercepts by T.J. Payne
