Population Zero (2010)
I’ve only read one other book from Wrath James White, Succulent Prey, and it’s the most hardcore horror fiction I’ve ever read. As I was reading it I kept thinking, there’s no way he can keep this level of gore up for long but each time i turned the page my mind was filled with [...]
Knockemstiff (2008)
This book doesn’t exactly fit into the theme of Toxic Graveyard. It’s not horror, and it’s not particularly extreme, but it is particularly good. After getting the recommendation from Fred Venturini’s website, I decided to give it a go and I’m glad that I did. For some reason I’m especially drawn to southern fried fiction. [...]
The Samaritan (2011)
Man I love reading. I love it so much I do it every night but lately I haven’t had that craving. The craving I get when I’m reading an especially good book. The craving I feel when the sun goes down and I know I’ll be cracking it open again soon. Or when I see [...]
Ruthless (2010)
I love extreme horror. I love being grossed out, shocked, and revolted. Honestly, I just like to feel something. So often I read novels and anthologies and never really feel anything. Sure, they’re entertaining but beyond killing some of my free time they don’t give me anything to take with me. Ruthless made me feel [...]
Sick Things (2010)
Recently I’ve discovered the awesomeness that is Comet Press. There is a myriad of small press horror publishers out there, and more seem to be popping up all the time. Many times these small press companies promise “extreme” horror but often what you get is a poorly edited book riddled with grammatical and spelling errors [...]
Dario Argento By James Gracey
I love Dario Argento. My first exposure to his work was by chance. It was late at night on IFC and I happened upon a bizarre film with striking colors set in a girls school. It was so unique with incredible camera work and beautiful and brutal murders. The film of course was Suspiria and [...]
The Death Panel (2009)
Recently I discovered Comet Press, a new small press publishing company that released the wonderfully gross body horror short collection Vile Things, reviewed here. These guys know how to put out great memorable short collections and the Death Panel is no different. The Death Panel is a collection of dark crime/thriller/horror stories that covers alot of [...]
SFX: Special Edition Horror (2010)
About a month ago I went to my local indie book store to check out their extensive selection of magazines. There I found a one off magazine dedicated to horror. SFX is a monthly British magazine dedicated to Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and a little horror. 4 times a year they put out big editions dedicated to [...]
Horrorhound #22 (2010)
I’ve been following Horrorhound for over a year now, and I just subscribed because it’s so dang good. The magazine features alot of historical and in depth coverage and has a vibe of exuberance and love for the horror genre. No snarky comments are ever found in Horrorhound. The first issue I received is a [...]
Vile Things (2009)
I love reading and literature. Every night before I rest my weary head I have to read. I have a voracious appetite for the written word which is only rivaled by my appetite for film. I rarely review books however, mostly because I don’t read “new releases” very often. I always seem to be a [...]
