As I’m about to write this review, I wonder: Is what I’m about to say really going to change your mind about seeing The Cabin in the Woods? Either you’ve been waiting for it for years or don’t care. So, I will try to speak to those who plan to see it, but haven’t. To that […]

Having been to a lot of conventions recently, I’ve been thinking about what I’ve learned and what you should bring with you when travelling to a con. Extra Change of Clothes – Everything: shirts, pants, underwear, socks. You never know if something might get spilled on you. Or, you spend the day running all over the hotel—to […]
Dark Fiction Magazine, a UK podcast, has posted my story “The Machinery of Government“ as part of Issue 11. The podcast is about 30 minutes long and has a great reading by Danny Davies who brings real sense of terror to the piece. Set in Ottawa, it’s about a newly-minted cabinet minister who must choose between […]

It’s $16 (US), but are offering free shipping to the US and Canada if you pre-order now. This is a limited time offer and will not be offered once the book has come back from the printers.

Just watched this book trailer on YouTube and wanted to share. I know nothing about The Return Man or its author V.M. Zito, but am very impressed by the trailer. It delivers: An atmosphere of where the story is set A sense of what the plot of the story is without over-explaining it Leaves enough unexplained […]
Season 2 of The Walking Dead tried to go out with a bang. True, there were lots and lots of BANG!s going off in the first half hour, but this attempt at action only underscores that the show is trying—and failing—to recapture the tension of Season One. We need Frank Darabont back! (You can also read […]
I have to share this. This is taken from a debate among seven real Republican presidential candidates in Arizona. During the debate, the question of whether zombies should have the right to vote was asked. Three of the seven raise their hands. I post this because a zombie’s right to vote—and if they might still […]
The new full-length trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man is now online on YouTube. At first glance, I am not as excited by this as I thought I would be. The first and obvious reason is why go back to Peter Parker’s origin as Spidey? Sam Raimi did that brilliantly in his Spider-Man (2002). I know, I […]
