Catriona Ward

When Stephen King calls someone’s book “…a true nerve-shredder that keeps its mind-blowing secrets until the very end”,  you know you have to read it as soon as it’s released! That is exactly what he said about Catriona Ward’s book The Last House on Needless Street…

Classic Horror Tales

Classic Horror Tales is filled with some of the greatest Gothic short horror stories you will ever read.  It has stories from the masters like Edgar Allan Poe, Bram Stoker, and H.P. Lovecraft.

Horrorstör

When I saw Horrorstör I instantly wanted to read it. My first thought was ”Haunted Ikea?…yes please”. Think about being stuck there overnight. This entire story takes place overnight – but it’s not as fun as you would think…

The Creepiest Creepypastas

Does anyone remember Ted the Cadaver?  You all know about Slenderman. That’s how Creepypasta got started. Creepypasta’s origins are somewhat of a mystery. The rumor is that it began as spam email, which is much better than the shit I get spammed with!

Books of Blood

Rosemary’s Baby

Rosemary’s Baby is going to mess with your head, freak you out, scare you, and keep you up at night. An absolutely amazing piece of psychological horror! The book or the movie, it doesn’t matter. They’re both amazing…

Carlton Mellick III

Carlton Mellick III is out of mind and you have to read his books!! His genre? That is an excellent question, my friends. Bizarro fiction, definitely. Horror comedy? Crazy-ass weird shit? Quite possibly those too…

T.M. Wright

Not many people have heard of T.M. Wright. He floats quietly in the horror genre like one of the ghosts in his stories. Ramsey Campell called him a “one-man definition of quiet horror”. No slashers. No blood, guts, and gore. Just spooky…
