Here we go. It is mere moments before the new episode, and I’ve heard a rumor so wonderful that I refuse to google it, because I WANT IT TO BE TRUE. I like being this excited for the new episode of AHS. Tonight, there will be Evan Peters. Considering we’ve had to wait so long, …

“Steve Himmer has crafted a little book with a great big wallop of a gut-punch that will leave you breathless and longing for more, much, much more.” Neo-noir is a subgenre that’s been growing in both production and popularity in recent years, but it’s really still in its fledgling state and if you ask seven …

With Halloween on the way, it’s a good time to find some suitably chilling reading or viewing for when the night wind howls outside. Maybe that’s why my thoughts turned to The Nightmare Man, the BBC TV adaptation of David Wiltshire’s novel. It scared the hell out of British viewers in 1981, and inspired a …

“Perhaps this is one of the main purposes of horror fiction; namely, to show us that the things we cling to as steady, stable, and constant, are anything but. That we have very little control over our lives and are mere moments away from chaotic oblivion. It’s a theme Rich returns to again and again, …

“From the very first words of ‘Screaming Elk, MT’ in which Jessica finds her fate entangled with the cursed company of a traveling carnival, we are made aware that we’re experiencing something that transcends the bounds of traditional cosmic horror.” If you’ve been reading horror fiction for any length of time, then you’ve likely heard …

What is hope? Hope is tuning into Chapter 4 after no Evan Peters for the first three episodes. It’s having laughed in of shock and awe at Cuba Gooding Jr’s fogged up glasses as he banged Lady Gaga in the woods while Sarah Paulson screamed. Hope is balling your hands into fists and whispering …

When I was asked to compile a list of books that I felt were good choices for October, this month that feels like nothing so much as a celebration of our chosen brand of genre fiction, I had to really think about it. Not just about what books I would choose—that’s the easy part—but why …

“For those who enjoy fiction of a weird nature with a capital ‘w’ The Secret of Ventriloquism should not be missed.” If The Secret of Ventriloquism were to be summed up in a single word, that word would have to be ‘unsettling’. Starting with a guided meditation to prepare the reader to fully experience the …

“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 …

“Martin has penned a tale of exceptionally unique vision and style, a darkly poignant story riddled with undercurrents of achingly seductive eroticism and temptation tempered by the threads of terror that permeate the book.” Anya Martin is something of a newcomer on the horror scene, but not a complete unknown. She’s been published in multiple …
