March 15, 2023 by Sean Leave a Comment

Both a love letter to the slasher as well as an examination of the genre and it’s effects on those involved, Brian McAuley’s debut deserves a place among the classics that inspired it as well as his peers. If you’re a fan of Stephen Graham Jones and/or Grady Hendrix, check this out immediately. FEAR THE REA-PER REA-PER REA-PER!

THERE’S NO ESCAPIST|A HORROR REVIEW: My Heart is a Chainsaw (The Indian Lake Trilogy #1) by Stephen Graham Jones

February 13, 2023 by Sean Leave a Comment

There’s a song by Weezer called Heart Songs. In it, Rivers Cuomo sings about the songs that speak to his heart, that marked important moments in his life, or that helped shape him into the person he is. My Heart is a Chainsaw is my heart book. My new comfort read. My favorite book published in the past ten or so years. Maybe even longer. It reminds me that I’m not alone, that horror is awesome, and it’s just a bloody good time.

BOOK TOUR/REVIEW: Yellow Tape and Coffee by Pat Luther

January 13, 2023 by Sean Leave a Comment

Yellow Tape and Coffee is a fantastic hybrid of urban fantasy, horror and drama that will keep you guessing until the end. Secret societies, buried history, werewolves and conspiracies combine to create a suspenseful thrill-ride that will keep on the edge of your seat and guessing until it’s bloody conclusion. Pat Luther handles the vast array of characters with a deft hand and the skill some television writer’s rooms can’t muster. What are you waiting for? It won’t bite…

THERE’S NO ESCAPIST|A HORROR REVIEW: Black Mouth by Ronald Malfi

December 17, 2022 by Sean Leave a Comment

Black Mouth is perfect for fans of Stephen King, but NOT limited to that audience. Ronald Malfi’s prose flies off the page and really gets into the characters’ heads. Tackling childhood abuse, alcoholism, bullying and confronting the past, while providing plenty creeps and scares, Black Mouth is a tour-de-force of drama and horror.

THERE’S NO ESCAPIST|A HORROR REVIEW: The Troop by Nick Cutter

December 12, 2022 by Sean Leave a Comment

The Troop is without a doubt dark and over the top. It strives to make you squirm and succeeds in spades. My flesh crawled, my stomach turned, my heart raced and a few times, my eyes teared up. Beautiful and disturbing, Nick Cutter is a rising star in no-holds-barred horror, The Troop is a brilliant debut and I can’t wait to see what he does next.
