My favorite time of the year. Horror is in my soul and I have found my people. Because of finding the MutantFam community and the Fangoria Community I have only nurtured my love for horror. I have found people who I have become really good friends with even though we are miles apart. Halloween has... Continue Reading →
Shiny Happy People I have read a couple things by Clay McLeod Chapman and I really enjoyed them. When I saw he was writing a Young Adult Horror/SciFi book I immediately thought of my 12 year old daughter. I thought; this could be a great book for us to read together and have our own...

Killer on the Road/The Babysitter Lives Two stories, one collection with a twist. The Babysitter Lives was previously released August 9, 2022 as an audio only novella. The Killer on the Road was released in the UK as a standalone novella on June 17, 2025. Together they were released by Saga Press as a double... Continue Reading →
I look froward to this challenge every year. This will be my 5th year participating and the 6th year it has been done. The basic idea is to watch 100 horror movies that you have never seen from August 1 to Halloween. Shockingly I have only completed this challenge once and that was in 2022... Continue Reading →
Have you ever heard a name and thought you knew who they were talking about but couldn’t figure out why? Joe Lansdale is that person for me. I have read The Drive-In, and the movie Bubba Ho-Tep is a guilty pleasure of mine, but for some reason I never make the connection to Mr. Lansdale.... Continue Reading →
Victorian Psycho I have found an amazing group of fellow book lovers on social media. This book kept popping up with all my friends who had the chance to review this prior to its release. As historical fiction isn’t my favorite, I reluctantly added this to my TBR list and figured I would get to... Continue Reading →
Screamboat It has been a little bit since I did a movie review. Most people review the big name studio movies but I like to get the lesser known movies out there in front of people. A little late to the party for this review but I will explain that latter. I have really enjoyed... Continue Reading →
What can I say about Stephen Graham Jones that I haven’t already said? I’m a huge fan and so happy I still have an extensive back catalogue of books and stories to catch up on. As of this review I have read 7 Novels, 8 Novellas/Short Stories, and I have written reviews for 4 of... Continue Reading →
Small Town Horror by Ronald Malfi With all that is going on this year (2025), I have found I have gotten the reading bug again and I am spending more and more time in the realm of fiction to escape my own nightmares. With this, I have also gotten the urge to write reviews again.... Continue Reading →
Incidents Around the House I have always loved scary stories. Hauntings, demons, and crazed slashers were the subjects of my library picks for many years. What started with R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps graduated to Stephen King and Clive Barker. Yet, up until recently I really only knew of a select few authors who wrote horror. The... Continue Reading →
