The Carnival 13 is a very interesting concept. 13 different authors each contribute a chapter while attempting to maintain cohesiveness to the story. The entire idea takes me back to my childhood of telling ghost stories with friends. One of us would start the story and the next person would keep it going. By the […]
It is Sacrament Saturday here at horror-writers and we will be continuing our coverage by including the film’s trailer in our Trailer Talk segment. First, here is the trailer And now my thoughts: The idea of being trapped in a deeply cultish Religious town is an intriguing one. I’ve sounded off before about […]

We have only three episodes left and this one did not disappoint. The opening scene of Serial Killer Lizzie playing tag with a walker while that creepy music played was strangely beautiful. (Am I the only one who had flashbacks of Insidious when that music was playing?) I really loved this episode because I felt […]
What I’m drinking: Southern Tier Porter. I thought the days of ice and snow were behind us for the year. I was mistaken. Luckily, I had a few of these in the house. A dark, textured flavor, perfect for the winter. Seven things that annoyed me: 1. The forced parallels Carol draws between Mika and […]
Grievings and salivations my fine festering freaks.
