Blood 20: Tales Of Vampire Horror by Tanith Lee (book review).
‘Blood 20: Tales Of Vampire Horror’ is a collection of vampire stories written by Tanith Lee. Having heard of her but never read her work, I looked forward to getting a good sample here. The first story, ‘On Reflection’, is set in a desert outpost of the diminishing Roman Empire and starts with battalion commander […]
Shadow in the Cloud (horror film: trailer).
While traveling with top-secret documents on a B-17 Flying Fortress during the Second World War, a female supply-run pilot and courier played by Chloë Grace Moretz encounters an evil presence on board – something determined that her mission must fail. Oh, those blooming Nazis, are they making demonic pacts again?
The Case Of Charles Dexter Ward by H.P. Lovecraft and illustrated by I.N.J. Culbard (graphic novel review).
Alongside the simultaneous re-releases of ‘The Dream Quest Of Unknown Kadath’ and ‘The Shadow Out Of Time’, SelfMadeHero have republished another of the I.N.J. Culbard graphic novels in a slightly smaller paperback format. Again, the adaptation is basically sound but having read through all three of them now, the quirks, if not quite limitations, of […]
Sweet Home (Netflix horror film: trailer).
Here’s Sweet Home, a new South Korean horror film from Netflix streaming on December 18th, 2020 – based on the South Korean manga of the same name (manga is called manhwa in Korea). A curse from a demon converts large portions of mankind into mutant monsters and destroys civilization, a teen is given super-powers by the curse, and […]
Monster Hunter (monster movie: international trailer).
Milla Jovovich gets monstered in the scifi/horror flick based on the computer game of the same name, Monster Hunter. You know how it goes, parallel dimensions, Godzilla-like beasts that need a little hunting. Let’s go. Ho hum.
Strange Weather by Joe Hill (book review).
In ‘Snapshot’, the first novella in this ‘Strange Weather’ collection, Mike is a fat thirteen year-old kid with brains. He’s making a fancy toy gun in his workshop when Shelly Beukes turns up, shoeless, disorientated and confused. Shelly is getting old now but she used to be Mike’s child minder and practically raised him. A […]
The Stand (horror TV series: trailer).
Here’s a new trailer for CBS TV series The Stand, based on the dark horror/fantasy novel by Stephen King. The Stand stars Whoopi Goldberg as Mother Abagail, the figurehead of the Boulder Free Zone, and Alexander Skarsgård as Randall Flagg, the leader of the sinister New Vegas tribe. The Stand also stars James Marsden, Odessa […]
The Dream-Quest Of Unknown Kadath by H.P. Lovecraft and illustrated by I.N.J. Culbard (graphic novel review).
Because ‘The Dream-Quest Of Unknown Kadath’ was never finished in his lifetime, many fans of H.P. Lovecraft have tended to pass over this novella in favour of his more polished and accessible works. In doing so, they miss out on some of Lovecraft’s most intense imagery and exotic ideas. It tells the story of a […]
The Monstrous Collection by Steve Niles and Bernie Wrightson (graphic novel review).
I pulled a copy of ‘The Monstrous Collection’ to have a closer look at the late Bernie Wrightson’s art completed, according to the copyright around 2011. When it comes to horror, like fantasy, it can get a bit closer to the probably wouldn’t happen like that in real life and yet, a few tweaks with […]
Beast Mode (horror film: trailer).
Here’s the trailer for the rather dark horror film Beast Mode, where various failed Hollywood stars and directors start using a powerful herbal cream that turns them into their best super-successful versions of themselves. Sadly, it also turns them in some kind of murderous werewolf/vampire shapeshifter for part of the time. So, would you take […]
