Real Vampires Have Curves by Gerry Bartlett by Angela Wilson - I am a used bookstore junkie. I never leave my favorite one, Half Price Books, without dropping at least $50. (The owner, Kathy, goes to the Romantic Times convention every year and brings back a load of brand new titles from hot authors, many times autographed.) I always hunt for that great bargain that will be just the book to tackle my voracious reading appetite. I found Real Vampires Have Curves on the top shelf of the romance section. Released last year – with a sequel out this year - this book has a fun, quippy heroine vamp who considers herself full-figured, though her on-again, off-again mate, Jeremy, thinks her curves are delectable. She blames her curves on bloating she had when she was bitten – weight that remains with her forever. I thought it looked stupid – until I read the back cover copy. Then I knew I HAD to have this… Read More...

Freezer Burn by D.H. Dublin by Angela Wilson - Gruesome murders, a dash of romance, and intricate forensic details make this third installment in the C.S.U. series a must read for police procedural fans. It’s hard for me to find a serial that I truly enjoy enough to keep reading. I seem to tire… Read More...

The Bite by Stefan Halley - Threesomes, voyeurism, hustlers and murder...sounds like a standard weekend. Most Americans know very little about Japanese cinema outside of Godzilla and Akira Kurosawa films. … Read More...

Sight by Stefan Halley - The DVD cover has a character with their eyes removed...I consider him lucky. I swear if I ever direct a low budget horror film, I’m shopping it to Lionsgate.  For ever… Read More...

Frontier(s) by Stefan Halley - It’s a gore soaked hell ride. This is the bonus 9th film that they “weren’t allowed to show in Horrorfest” because… Read More...

Mason by Thomas Pendleton by Angela Wilson - Creepy, intense, teen horror fans won’t be able to put down this first solo novel from Wicked Dead author Thomas Pendleton. To say I was pumped when I received the advanced ready copy of Mason is an understatement.… Read More...

Retribution by Amanda Rush - It’s a Japanese horror film that aims to be something different from the usual Ringu/Ju-On mold, but the only way that Retribution distinguishes itself is by sucking.

The Cottage by Matt Rox - Half a bungling crime story plus half a gross slasher flick equals fantastically sick humor in this British horromedy. The Cottage from writer/director Paul Andrew Williams (best known as the writer/director of… Read More...

Don’t Go In The Woods by Madison Carter - Inept, amateurish and completely lacking in plot, this may be one of the best slasher film DVD releases ever! If you were alive in 1981, there’s a good chance you made a slasher film. Whether you directed… Read More...

P2 by Patrick Martin - P2 is the latest psychological thriller from Alexandre Aja, who brought us the likes of HIGH TENSION and THE HILLS HAVE EYES remake. One might expect some original thrills and twists, but sadly, with the exception of the parking garage setting, P2 is about about as original as a baloney sandwich. I’m struggling very hard not to make the terrible reviewer-style pun, saying, “‘P2?’… Read More...
