I love to read. I’ve been a bookworm for as long as I can remember and I have more books than I have bookshelf space, plus my Kindle is jam packed with things I have yet to even touch. However, I had never experienced an audiobook before Lucinda Berry’s made-for-audio …

If you know me at all, then you know that my love for Tobe Hooper’s 1974 film, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, runs far and wide. I mean, my dog is named Gunnar if that tells you anything, so it was real treat to be able to speak with Allen …

If you know me, you know that body horror is my jam. I fucking love The Family Cronenberg, The Thing, Society, Slither. Raw… I could go on for hours. I wasn’t sure what to expect with Shell, the new film directed by Max Minghella (Teen Spirit) and written by Jack …

Two things stood out to me about Devin Montgomery’s Monsters Within. One, he wrote, directed, produced, edited, AND starred in the film. Two, his sister, Daniella Montgomery, is also in the film and a huge part of the story. Wow! Talk about ambitious and able to pull it all off. …

Bram Stoker Award and Shirley Jackson Award nominated, and Splatterpunk Award-winning author Eric LaRocca (The Trees Grew Because I Bled There) is a master at writing vile, violent, visceral horror and that’s what initially drew me to his work. What made me crave more of his stories was the queer …
Read More »Interview With Brian McAuley, Author Of ‘Breathe In, Bleed Out’
Brian McAuley’s new book, Breathe In, Bleed Out, hits so many of my favorite marks – isolation horror, a familiar location, both likable and unlikable characters, plus gore, horror, violence… the list goes on and on. After reading Brian’s first two books, Curse of the Reaper, and Candy Cain Kills, …

Jimmy and Stiggs, written and directed by Joe Begos and starring Joe and Matt Mercer, is a neon-drenched, drug-induced fever nightmare of an alien abduction movie, and I wouldn’t expect anything less from Joe (read our other interviews with him HERE and HERE). Joe is fairly new to the filmmaking …
