Red – Book Review
“You tell me why’s a man’s blood is any better or any more precious than a dog’s blood? It sure ain’t to the dog.” --Avery Allan Ludlow, Senior Jack Ketchum, the nom de plume of Dallas Mayr, is a horror writer. However, his trade is that of the all-too-real horrors of...
300
Back in the first days of human history when the people in power were all described by the lands they lived in; The Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, etc... People often believed the only way to make your mark on history was to do something great and powerful. Well many...
Old Flames – Book Review
Jack Ketchum is one of those horror writers whose name no one will ever forget. All the Ketchum novels I have had the pleasure of reading all left me haunted by the horrors that he not only inflicts on his characters, but the pain and suffering he puts his readers...
30 Days of Night: Dark Days
It is obvious that vampire films are very popular right now: everything from the Twilight series to the Swedish hit Let the Right One In. It’s safe to say that the vampire is back and shows no signs of going away. One of the best vampire films of recent years has been...
Mean Streets – Book Review
Gord Rollo and Gene O'Neill are both heavy hitters in the horror game. The praise their work has received and the quality of their novels and short stories has made both of them known names in the horror community. Knowing this, I was excited to read "Mean Streets," a...
30 Days of Night
30 Days of Night is from the groundbreaking graphic novel by Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith. What could go wrong with a movie that was produced by Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures? Plenty! Niles’ graphic novel is a visually insane look at the classic vampire. Set in...
The Jigsaw Man – Book Review
I'll admit that when I first saw the title, THE JIGSAW MAN, I thought I was going to dwell into a land that coincided with the SAW movies. I really thought it was going to be a book that dwelled in the unoriginal void of horror book and films that we're all used to...
3 Dead Girls
This review will probably going to be a short one, mainly because I didn't realize that this DVD actually contained three short films that I have already reviewed for the site. Honestly I thought that this was director Christopher Allen Broadstone's first feature...
Crimson – Book Review
There are some books that are just so good that when it comes time to write reviews about them I'm simply left speechless. Gord Rollo did this to me with the first book I read of his titled THE JIGSAW MAN. This may sound familiar and if does not it's your loss because...
Strange Magic – Book Review
There are some writers who, after writing one great piece of horror literature, have everything after that slow down their careers and they simply fade away. Writing is not what it was in previous decades, with fewer people reading books than ever before, and it is...
28 Weeks Later
Tagline: When days turn into weeks… The Story: The film picks up literally 28 weeks after the initial outbreak of the Rage virus in Britain. It has been five weeks since the last infected person has died of starvation and U.S. military-NATO forces have moved into...
Valley of the Scarecrow – Book Review
This past year (2010) has not been a great year for horror writers. The book as we know it is on the verge of being replaced by technology. The Nook, Kindle and whatever other reading device is available have turned the printed page into a soon to be thing of the...
28 Weeks Later
I was a big fan of 28 Days Later, and was disappointed I didn't get a chance to see the follow up 28 Week Later in theaters. So despite the bad reviews it received, I still wanted to see it and was a happy when the screener of the film unexpectedly hit my door step...
28 Weeks Later
Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather and Godfather II, Ridley Scott’s Alien and James Cameron’s Aliens, James Whale’s Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein . . . . It is not often that a sequel trumps its predecessor. Rarer still is when such occurs at the hands of a...

Coming off his Bran Stoker award winning novel COVENANT, John Everson SACRIFICE is the second book to be released by Leisure Fiction and is a stand alone sequel to COVENANT. Everson is a writer that holds no punches. IN COVENANT, its violence and story prey upon it's...
