Today's review will take you back the glory days of horror, when mass paperback racks were full of creepy dolls, scary kids, horrible rodents, and gaunt faced pale men in black. Those covers were incredible and to this day, those books are still among my favorites of all time. If you are a new to horror fan, or have not yet tried vintage horror, I strongly encourage you to go browse eBay or Thrift Books for some of the best vintage books out there. Most are campy, gory, wild,

Mort Stone is back this week with a new guest review. Mort is one of our behind-the-scenes editors and reviewers as well as an author. When he finished edits on Kathryn's debut, he had nothing but great things to say. If you know Mort at all, you know he can be a harsh critic. He followed up his comments to me about the novel with the below review, which in itself, is a high compliment. We've gotten nothing but high praise from everyone that has already read this book for a

Dog Food By: Peter Caffrey The holidays. The most stressful times. Just ask David. He is on his way home with the family in tow. His annoying children and irritable wife aren't making things easier. Don't get him started on the airlines. He thinks it's bad now; wait until the plane lands. What the hell did I read? This was madness, and I loved it. A tale that spirals out of control, leaving you questioning your own sanity. If you haven't read Caffrey yet, you really should. S

This is my favorite Barker output next to the Books Of Blood volumes. Definitely give
