“Loosely based on the Hades of Dante’s Inferno, Wytovich’s depiction of the underworld is truly terrifying and it’s likely that it would scare the hell out of Alighieri himself.” Stephanie M. Wytovich is far from an unknown in the horror community. Having published several outstanding collections of poetry, including Hysteria, Mourning Jewelry, and her most …

Evan Peters! Evan Peters! That’s my hopeful chant heading into Episode 3. I know there is a good chance you’ve heard the rumors that there will be a “major twist” mid-season, and as unhinged but linear as the storyline has gone so far, that is a worrying thought.

“Able to hold its own with other great coming-of-age horror novels.” The Awakening by Brett McBean is one of those books that gives the truth to the old cliché about never judging a book by its cover.
