I'll admit I am no expert on Italian Horror films but as I read through the fantastic Italian Horror by Jim Harper, I was surprised at just how many of these films I had seen. I chalk that up to two things: First having a girlfriend in the 1980's (who is now my wife)...

There have been a lot of wonderful books released over the past decade on the subject of classic horror films of the 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s, with many coming from Mcfarland & Co., who are also the publishers of this book. While most of these books focus on the films...

Upon reading Damn Nation from Dark Horse Comics, it's easy to deduce its myriad of influences: George Romero's zombie films, "28 Days Later", "30 Days of Night", etc...but that doesn't make it a bad, or unoriginal story. Quite the contrary, writer Andrew Cosby...

Revelations is a 168 page trade paperback from Dark Horse comics that collects the complete, six issue mini-series. Revelations is decidedly Da Vinci Code inspsired with its conspiracies and Catholic hierarchy cover-ups although it ends up being decidedly darker in...

EC Comics is long gone, a victim of 1950’s paranoia run amuck. Horror comics themselves went through a very long lull in the 80’s and most of the 90’s, taking a backseat to superhero and sci-fi related books. But horror comics have come back in a big way over the past...

"John Constantine, Hellblazer: All his Engines" is a brand new and original graphic novel written by Mike Carey with art by Leonardo Manco. As a Hellblazer fan ever since the blokes first appearance in Swamp Thing # 37, I can tell you it's one of the finest stories...

The latest Hellblazer trade paperback from Vertigo collects issues #194 - 200 of the Hellblazer comic series and finds John Constantine at perhaps his most vulnerable. He's suffered amnesia and doesn't know who, or what he is and his enemies are gathering to take...

"Lucifer: Morningstar" is the latest trade paperback collection and brings the long-running series to its apocalyptic conclusion. The book collects issues #62 - 69 of the celebrated Vertigo comic series and the climax to the war in Heaven storyline that has been...

Conveying a palpable feeling of horror in a graphic novel is not easy. You obviously don't have the advantages of other mediums such as film where you can use music and special effects to set the mood, or in a novel where the author can use unlimited descriptive...

“The Hunger” was the first book I’ve read from Markosia and I think it’s pretty safe to say it won’t be my last. This quirky, amusing, and garishly violent tale of zombies, vampires, and voodoo is riotously over the top. College student Charlie Lee decides to vacation...

Deadworld has been one of my favorite independent comics ever since it first appeared some 20 years ago for several reasons. First, while zombies are all over the place to day in films, comics, books, etc, it wasn’t the case 20 years ago when superhero comics truly...

Zombie comics seem like they are all over the place nowadays but only one of them can boast being written by the co-creator of the original Night of the Living Dead film, John Russo. That book is “Escape of the Living Dead” from Avatar Press and it’s a must have for...

I have been a fan of Universal Horror films for as long as I can remember. My earliest memories are of a local channel here in the Detroit area that used to show a different Universal horror film every afternoon in the week leading up to Halloween. And then there was...
