Happy Saturday and Happy Valentine’s Day! There is a zero percent chance that I am bringing you any sort of lovey-dovey, happily ever after romance. But there is a one hundred percent chance that I am bringing the absolute horrors. So, grab a box of chocolate, throw some rose petals around, and embrace the chaos! REAL TELEVISION By Matthew Salinas Once the public was turned into a frantic mess, the rest of the pieces silently fell into place, like a painted backdrop. Now the

Eric Butler is one of indie horror's nicest authors and one of its best-kept secrets. His work is impeccable, well-written, gory in all the right places, action-packed, with rich characters, plenty of local lore, and enough blood to keep the most savage reader happy. Whether it's a short story, one of his collections, or a novel, Eric does horror well and he does creature features like he was born to do it. Today, we have two reviews for Eric, and I encourage everyone to chec

Today's breakdown is for the audiobook of "Baker's Dozen" by Uncomfortably Dark! Christine Morgan kicked it off with a strong one that warns of the dangers of questioning one's nature before thy own. Chris Miller next about a Karen and a Geist crossing paths that only spells disaster. Ruth Ann Jagge followed with a brutal tale that will make you think twice about befriending a feline. Jeff Strand grossed me out and then turned around and terrified me with his zany game show s

WE PAINT OUR FACES WITH THE ASHES OF OUR DEAD The New Collection from Nikolas P. Robinson! Featuring an introduction from Lucas Mangum! When an author puts a short story collection together, they are sifting through the ashes in the hope of finding something valuable and breathing new life into things that were dead. Each story takes on new context when brought together, than it had in its original life. The author paints their face with the ashes of the dead, crafting a new

The Terrifier  Written by Tim Waggoner  Edited by James Carlson. Published by Bloody Press (Part of the Bloody Disgusting network) If you are a fan of the Terrifier films, this book is for you! It reads exactly as it should, full of gore, terror, violence and depravity, along with a few well-placed chuckles. Tim did an excellent job keeping the feel, pace, and tension of the film intact while taking the reader on an unhinged rage fueled romp through town. It's a terrific piec
