There is a moment in the magnificent vampire movie Near Dark which sums up the vampire legend as purely and simply about sex. It’s a moment in the famous redneck bar scene, where the traveling family of monsters shows up to massacre everyone in the place.

Now, the project looks set for release in the very near future after having won the “Best Thriller Feature” Award at the 2011 Atlanta Horror Film Festival and getting a positive response at the [...]
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.

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 [...]
We’ve had Snakes on a Plane, Flight of the Living Dead, Quarantine 2: Terminal, Mark Hamill will soon be seen in Airborne; and the poor Harleyquin had to suffer through Super Shark. What’s next for sky-high horror you say?

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 [...]
I bought The Eyes of the Dead by G.R.Yeates on the recommendation of an author. Usually I wouldn’t do such a thing but the cover intrigued me and the following information from the book’s Kindle page piqued my interest given my love of history:
