This is a question that I am often asked; apparently, it’s somewhat strange for an adult woman to enjoy horror. It’s a long held misconception that men are the primary horror movie audience. In actuality, it’s usually women driving the ticket sales. Some believe that males will, eventually, wander away from the horror genre as […]

On A Serious Note…
This week I need to speak from the heart and address a topic that I’ve seen come up more than a handful of times on Twitter, Facebook, and various horror websites in the last week. Please excuse the stronger tone that I carry through this article and the lack of my dark humor this week. […]
Greetings Friends, Starting Monday August 19th we will be doing a Women of Horror Week. All week we will be featuring guest articles written by Women about the horror genre and why they love it. We will also be reviewing horror movies featuring lead Female characters. Here are some of the movies we have planned […]
Today I watched a double feature of “Who Can Kill A Child?”(1976) and “Come Out And Play”(2012). Despite the fact that the latter is a remake of the former, it was still astonishing how these two movies could have two completely different emotional impacts.

As an avid reader, I can’t say that Mermaids are something I’ve read a lot about before. This was a strong opening story because it shows versatility and […]
Dead Drunk is a 2013 Zombie novel from author Richard Johnson. If you are growing tired of the zombie genre like I am then I implore you to give this one a chance. Richard exceptionally marries comedy and tension and creates a strong main and supporting cast of characters. One of the strengths of this […]
The Lost Dark is a 2013 novel from author Andy Rigley. This was an absolute pleasure to read. Andy does an incredible job of creating a world full of true existential terror. The plot constantly keeps you guessing and there were times when I had to put it down in order to take a breather. […]
Under A Graveyard Sky is a 2013 novel from author John Ringo. It follows the Smith family as they head out to sea in an attempt to ride out the chaos of the apocalypse. This is a book of many strengths and weaknesses that managed to keep me interested and furious at the same time. […]
