Richard Chizmar rereads Pet Sematary over at Stephen King Revisited, and gives us the lowdown on a book he first read back in 1983.
Screaming in Your Living Room: How VOD is Changing the Horror Industry
There was a time when horror films were only available from your cool mate at school, on third-generation VHS tapes with the words ‘Coronation Street” scrawled on them and a piece of Sellotape plastered over the bit in the corner. Skip forwards twenty years and you don’t even have to leave the house to get the latest horror film, thanks to VOD. Vodzilla looks at how the industry is changing.

The Lovecraft reread continues over at Tor. This time, Anne M Pillsworth and Ruthanna Emrys take a look at Joanna Russ’s ‘My Boat’.
Stories from the Borderland #10: “Who Goes There?’ by John W. Campbell and “The Crawling Horror” by Thorp McClusky
