From favorite colors to favorite songs to food I hate, the only thing that has ever remained the same since I was a kid is the fact that I am a reader.

Sure, like anyone else who reads and reads and reads, IContinueContinue reading “Fall in Love with Reading Again – by Zaq Cass”

Wild Spaces by S.L. Coney – Book Review

Wild Spaces by S.L. Coney is a novella set in the wetlands of South Carolina. The story follows a young boy and his dog, Teach. Wild Spaces has a Southern Gothic / Lovecraftian vibe, and I must say, the setting is engulfing. I could feel the ocean breeze on my face and taste the saltContinueContinue reading “Wild Spaces by S.L. Coney – Book Review”

On a tiny island located about 3,700km from Chile lies one of the most intriguing mysteries known to mankind – Easter Island. However, the people who live there don’t call it Easter Island.

For a long time, women in horror movies did not have positive or empowering roles, as their roles were mostly for the purpose of eye candy or to be the damsel in distress. Most horror movies of theContinueContinue reading “Celebrating Women in Horror Movies During Women in Horror Month By Dawn Colclasure”

The Real Elizabeth Bathory vs. the Fictional Elizabeth Bathory in Curse of the Blood Witch by Dawn Colclasure

Say the name “Elizabeth Bathory” and most people will conjure images of a woman bathing in bathtubs filled with blood in their minds. Or they might recall watching a documentary exploring the historical scandals surrounding Bathory during her lifetime. And most historians worth their salt will claim that we have it all wrong.
