At little more than 2 1/2 hours, Zero Lives Remaining is a fun, punchy listen chock full of B-movie horror thrills.Adam Cesare’s latest plays with the haunted house trope, placing a group of teenagers in an arcade where a ghost haunts the video game cabinets and everyone’s lives are in danger. The g...

Lee wastes no time with this one. It hits the fan right away and then he turns it up to 11. You can't escape the "Oh, shit! This is gonna get real crazy” feeling. You see all the elements on a collision course and just like a train wreck you are powerless to turn away. And yes this is Lee Thompson w...

One of the most promising of the up and coming "new-wave" horror authors, Adam Cesare, again delivers what he does best with Zero Lives Remaining Namely, a gore-soaked throwback to the days of old. He's previously done much the same with cannibal movies (Tribesmen), horror movie VHS nights with frie...

This book was not what I expected it to be, but I really can't honestly tell you what I expected it to be either, but nothing like what I just finished reading. It was very confusing for me to follow it, but the parts that I could follow they were good. I just felt like the book flip-flopped too muc...

I met K.D. Wood during the UtopYACon back in June. After hearing her talk about her book, I knew I wanted to read it. I was rewarded greatly. This beautiful written story was like a modern version of “Beauty and the Beast” meets “Alice in Wonderland”. The tale she spun was so creative and intrigui...

Although I've found myself souring a bit on science fiction lately, with my reading tastes driving me firmly back into the realms of epic fantasy, horror has always been my first love. It's what I remember reading first, and what has driven most of my own writing endeavors. So, while I hardly need a...

Admit it. When you hear the title Appalachian Undead, you immediately start thinking of a zombie Deliverance, don't you? As S.G. Browne writes in his introduction, there is a definite "stereotype of the region as poor and desolate and culturally backward" that fiction has done as much to perpetuate ...

What is it about New England that makes it such a fertile ground for growing great horror writers? Being a Texan, I am mystified, but being a horror lover, I do appreciate whatever it is.Well chosen stories by top flight authors and even takes extra points for artistry by including poems. My favor...
