When I heard of the upcoming release of a new Yolanda Sfetsos novella I was sold straight away. Then I saw the title. Could you get more creepy and unsettling? Luckily (and unsurprisingly) this tasty little tale certainly lives up… Read More ›

Book Review – Eeriella: Super-Fiend! by Sophie Ingley
I do love my horror to have a sense of humour! It’s a tough one to pull off but this little tale certainly manages to do just that. To have you chuckling and squirming in equal measure is a very… Read More ›
Book Review – The Devil’s Pocketbook by Ross Jeffery
This book was getting plenty of hype pre-release in the horror community. It hasn’t been unknown for things (films, books, TV shows, albums) to suffer from this pre-conceived notion that they’re going to be the best thing ever. Sometimes things… Read More ›

Book Review – The Undertaker’s Daughter by John James Minster

Book Review – Mastodon by Steve Stred
Steve Stred’s latest novel not only shares its name with a great band (the older stuff, anyway), it also very much lives up to the hype. I blazed through this book in no time, and found the climatic final scenes… Read More ›
