Radar DeBoard’s newest novel published through Uncomfortably Dark, In Memory’s Clutches, begins with a dedication hoping for the end of Alzheimer’s Disease. The book itself finds police interrogating a confused, older woman, one with huge gaps in her memories which complicates the process. She’s a suspect in a grisly murder, though it’s difficult to imagine this sweet, would-be grandmother enacting such violence. DeBoard personifies this dread disease and brings its horror to

Light the Jack O'lanterns and sip some cider to set the mood! There are so many great books to read for Halloween!

Black interviewed a fellow creative, life-long horror fan, and Horror Writers Association member Ande Thomas, founding member of and editor-in-chief at the WWW.WhatSleepsBeneath.com , an excellent online magazine for the horror nerd in us all.

Sip your favorite, comforting beverage, make yourself comfortable, and read for Halloween Winds blowing cooler. Glamourously decaying leaves hiss archain messages. Nights overtake days with a bit more authority and depart with reluctance, fogs thick with mystery obscuring the dawn. October arrived, and with it, a spooky season dying for an autumnal reading list. Every year, I reread a favorite Ray Bradbury. The nostalgia puts me in the mood for bonfires and heady pumpkin spic

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on vintage horror books I've read. Let's look at Frankenstein from 1818! I learned one thing while reading Frankenstein, and that is everything I knew about Frankenstein's Monster was a lie. Growing up with the green, mindless, moaning representations of the monster I didn't know that was not the truth. I wonder why the monster was changed to be represented that way. Perhaps it was supposed to make him scarier. F

Pour your favorite autumnal beverage, because we're talking horror books written by Latine authors. Continuing my appreciation for Latine Heritage Month, I’m including some more reviews of work by Latine horror writers. These reviews by no means present an exhaustive list, so please comment with your recommendations for Latine horror authors. You know I love to enrich my TBR shelves! Goddess of Filth by V. Castro You know that scene in Gerta Gerwig’s “Barbie” movie, the one w

Welcome to Latham's Last Words, where I give you my last words on vintage horror books I've read. Let's look at The Howling from 1977! I won't be comparing the book to the movie, but I will say I wish I had read the book before seeing the movie. They are both equally as good in my eyes, and the movie was pretty close to the book. One of the biggest themes in the book is isolation. The town of Drago is secluded and that amplifies the feeling of alienation the Karyn feels whil

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month (which runs from 15 September until 15 October), Kerry E.B. Black is posting two reviews of works by her favorite Puerto Rican author, Cynthia Pelayo. For those who don't know this soft-spoken, elegant, intellectual, Ms. Pelayo is the first Puerto Rican to win the Bram Stoker Award. She writes fairy tales that blend genre and explore grief, mourning, and cycles of violence. Her love of Chicago, which she described as her "cosmology," is evi

Grab a cuppa and a stack of books and let the reading begin! Happy Book Birthday to Patrick Tumblety's In Light of Darkness Patrick Tumblety wrote a deeply personal collection of poetry and short works, In Light of Darkness, released by Blood Moon Publishing and Uncomfortably Dark. Through reading it, I feel as if I have met Patrick. I know he was an often misunderstood boy who loved comics (especially Superman) and video games. D&D factors into some of the poems, too. He is
