"Lugosi: His Life in Films, on Stage, and in the Hearts of Horror Lovers" isn't a biography of the late horror icon. Great biographies on Lugosi have already been done, most notably by Arthur Lennig in "The Immortal Count". Rather, author Gary Don Rhodes takes a...

Combining death, sex, goth, and erotica, Autopsyrotica is the anti-glamour pin-up collection. Boldly colored, glistening bodies are replaced by dark, horrific, yet hauntingly beautiful images from artist Chad Michael Ward. Ward combines his skills at digital...

In her first new collection in a couple of years, Poppy Z. Brites “The Devil you Know” focuses many of its stories in and around her beloved New Orleans and often travels in the restaurant world (her husband is a chef). Less gothic than her previous works, one might...

I'm not entirely sure what to make of "Spider Pie" as it is rather difficult to classify. I do know one thing; I liked it...a lot! These two dozen short tales from the mind of Alyssa Sturgill are like Grimm's Fairy tales on acid with a steroid chaser. They are...

Zombies are hot! Over the past few years the surge in popularity of the zombie film has been incredible. Films such as “28 Days Later”, “Dawn of the Dead”, “Land of the Dead”, “Resident Evil” and “Shaun of the Dead” have certified the living dead as reigning stars in...

Disgusting, tasteless, repugnant..."Satan's 3 Ring Circus of Hell" is all of this. It's also pretty damn funny and a riot to read. The book is the brainchild of writer Robert Steven Rhine and a whole host of talented artists such as Tim Vigil, Steven Bisette, Frank...

It's always a special pleasure to read any book by Tom Weaver and "It Came from Horrorwood" is no different. Weaver is back with 20 more interviews of actors and filmmakers of horror and sci-fi films. The interviews in this book originally appeared in the pages of...

Barry Hoffman’s “Love Hurts” is a collection of short stories that truly tears at your conscious. This isn’t about supernatural horror (although a couple of stories have supernatural elements) or deranged killers, but rather I call it socially aware horror, taken from...

I wasn’t sure what to make of Teddy Bear Cannibal Massacre when I received it. I mean are these guys serious? Yup, there’s a rather angry looking Teddy Bear right on the cover. Yet this horror athnology from Tim Lieder’s Dybbuk press turned out to be quite a surprise...

Midnight Marquee isn't just one of the best and longest running magazines covering horror films, they are also a fantastic publishing house who puts out some of the very best books on the horror film genre. Growing up, no monster scared me more that the Frankenstein...

Midnight Marquee has always been one of my favorite publishers because of their wonderful books on classic horror films. But in “Minds of Fear” author Calum Waddell takes a look at 30 modern classics or near classic horror films and I must say I was overjoyed by his...

Matinee at the Flame from Overlook Connection Press was my first exposure to the work of Christopher Fahy and I certainly hope it will not be the last. It’s been awhile since a collection of stories from a single writer has thrilled me as much as this book certainly...

The only way I can describe this book, is that it's like Little Shop of Horror gone wild. Add that with suspense that puts a Hitchcock film to shame and that's what you get with The Ruins. This book has been on the New York Times best seller list for the past few...
