IKEA Instructions Are Equally Terrifying

April 24, 2015 by Melina Leave a Comment

Horrorstor has been sitting on my GoodReads list of books to read for a long time now, so imagine my surprise when I popped into my local library to grab some less boring bedtime reading materials for my minions and there it was, sitting all shiny and new…waiting for me. The premise is pretty simple.  A particular American IKEA knockoff store called ORSK is experiencing vandalism in the middle of the night.  The vandalism must be occurring between 2 and 7 am each night when […]

This cockadoodie book.

April 23, 2015 by narfna 9 Comments

“As always, the blessed relief of starting, a feeling that was like falling into a hole filled with bright light. As always, the glum knowledge that he would not write as well as he wanted to write. As always the terror of not being able to finish, of accelerating into a brick wall. As always, the marvelous joyful nervy feeling of journey begun.”  “But characters in stories DO NOT just slip away! God takes us when He thinks it’s time and a writer is God […]

Evil Doesn’t Die, It Waits and Gets Stronger

April 15, 2015 by Melina 3 Comments

I was languishing in my bed these past two days seemingly dying from some horrendous stomach bug that two of my three urchins brought home. Luckily for me several things happened the other day:  1.  I didn’t die.  2. I read Prisco’s review of a different book by Jonathan Maberry and at the end of the review he gave a shout out to the Pine Deep series.  3. I had a lot of time on my hands because I was quarantined in my bedroom 4. […]

Five Short and Creepy Tales of Terror

April 9, 2015 by chettsgenie Leave a Comment

‘Dark Screams: Volume One’ contains five horror tales from some very well known authors in the genre. I’ve really been in to horror anthologies lately so this collection was a must buy. I had it on my wish list to remind me to buy it soon, and I then noticed the price had dropped so I snapped it up! I have to say, for me this was worth getting for the Stephen King & Kelley Armstrong stories alone.  I love the movie Creepshow and King’s […]

“A feel-good beach read!” – Werner Herzog

March 22, 2015 by Halbs 4 Comments

While I collect comics as a hobby, I don’t necessarily have every lauded book on my monthly pull list at my friendly neighborhood comic shop. I tend to go for less hero-y, off-the-beaten-path books like Alex + Ada, Letter 44, She-Hulk, or Gotham by Midnight. My all-time favorite series (right now) is Booster Gold, which is pretty fun and light-hearted. But, since everyone has been talking up Archie books lately, particularly Afterlife with Archie, I decided to pick up the first volume, Escape from Riverdale. […]
