Satan’s 3 Ring Circus of Hell – Book Review
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 Came From Horrorwood – Book Review
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...
Love Hurts – Book Review
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...
Teddy Bear Cannibal Massacre – Book Review
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...

Minds of Fear – Book Review

Cemetery Dance #54 – Magazine Review
Cemetery Dance is one of horror’s longest running magazines and with good reason. Each issue has an almost perfect blend of fiction, features, reviews and interviews, spotlighting both well-known and up-and-coming talents. There’s truly something for everyone in...
Matinee At the Flame – Book Review
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 Ruins – Book Review
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...
World War Z – Book Review
Holly shit, finally one of you publishers got it right with me. The best way to get Horror Bob to review your book is to send him an audio book. So Random House, thanks for thinking of me. Anyway on with the review..... World War Z is fucking awesome. Plan and simple....
Shadows in the Mist – Book Review
I honestly feel bad that at first that I passed on this book. I didn't think it was going to be something I was going to enjoy. But I was wrong, because Brain Moreland has created a great horror novel. I'll admit I only cheated myself by not having this book sent to...

Puzzleman – Book Review
Christopher Alan Broadstone is H.P Lovecraft Reincarnated. He may not write like Lovecraft, but he has a mind just like the man. let's put it this way, Chris is so talented I would trust the guy directing my own work, and writing my ideas into a novel, and I'm the...
The Association (2007) – Book Review
Famed director Stanley Kubrick enjoyed the quote by American novelist William S. Burroughs, “A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what’s going on.” Bentley Little fittingly paraphrases the adage early in his satirical tale of social tyranny, The Association....
