80s extreme horror classic Xtro to be released on Blu-ray for the first time
Xtro, the alien exploitation horror classic from the 1980s heyday of video nasties, is to receive its first ever Blu-ray release, in a limited edition box set with trailers, alternative endings, documentaries and enhanced resolution so that the horror can be relived as never before.

From Stephen Stromp, author of In The Graveyard Antemortem, comes Where the Cats Will Not Follow, a novel which has received high praise from Dread Central, Horror Talk and others. Released through Amazon’s Kindle Press imprint, the novel focuses on a young man coming-of-age against the backdrop of his struggle to understand whether he really does possess the ability to read minds, or if it is simply mental illness. The book is part fantasy part horror and part surrealism and refuses to sit comfortably in any of those boxes, instead straddling multiple genres. You can get hold of your copy, here.
