Horror news, reviews and competitions... Made in Scotland
News came to us back in February of horror comic book The School of The Damned from John Farman at Black Hearted Press and after reading the first issue, I was eager to get my hands on the second instalment…
Issue #1 set the scene with the following:
“It is 1936 and in eastern Europe German soldiers [...]
Life can be a gamble. In fact, life is full of gambles. Every decision we make has direct consequences, whether they are obvious or not. David Moody took a massive gamble when he unleashed his zombie novel Autumn on the internet for FREE. The gamble paid off and more than half a million downloads, a [...]
Ok fiends, I admit it, I’ve been bitten by the comic bug once again after dipping my toe back in the water with John Farman’s fantastic The School of the Damned.
So, simply looking for a thinly veiled excuse to get my teeth stuck into another, I came across Asylum.
Asylum comes with the following synopsis:
“There’s a [...]
You know, we’re not a territorial bunch here at AndyErupts but we each like our own particular “thing” from within the genre; Dr Robert is an afficionado of horror videogames, The Harleyquin loves his animal-based horror, particularly if said animal comes with fins and gills; and Andy will watch any slasher flick you sit him [...]
Fiends, it’s been a long time since I’ve picked up a comic book. Over the last fifteen years, the only “funny books” that I’ve picked up have been Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ Watchmen, Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One; and my all-time favourite comic title, Mark Millar’s Superman: Red Son.

During summer 2011, I was eagerly awaiting the release of what was described as an “African zombie road movie”, The Dead by Jon and Howard Ford. Once I finally got a hold of it, I loved it! So much so that I did something that I rarely do and watched the extras because I simply [...]
Back in October 2011, I read and reviewed Steve Alten’s The Loch. 2012 sees me returning to yet another story from the Great Glen in Donovan Galway’s Loch Ness. Works of fiction taking Loch Ness and its purported cryptid occupant as their focal point have quite often been disappointing. Irefer you to such cases in [...]
Back in September 2011, I read and reviewed William Meikle’s The Watchers Omnibus and absolutely loved it. I have, whenever possible, come back to this author time and again for some real horror entertainment.
Looking through Meikle’s catalogue of work, I was attracted to Eldren: The Book of the Dark after reading the following synopsis on [...]
Andy, being the good sort that he is and knowing what I like to read, alerted me to the release of Closure, Limited and other zombie tales by Max Brooks, the man behind World War Z, one of my favourite books EVER.
Armed with this info from Andy, I tracked it down online and bought it [...]
In an effort to try and read something a little different to my usual choice of zombie horror and/or post-apocalyptica, I picked up Inferno: Go to Hell, a 2012 short story by Scott Reeves.
Amazon provided the following synopsis:
“”The seal must not be broken. What’s inside must not get out.”
The 10th century A.D.
Fanatical Christians rebelling against [...]
