Lovecraft stories, but the recent move toward adapting some of Edgar Allen Poe’s most notable stories and poems has resulted in some of their best work yet. Anthony D.P.

Inkshares’ Second Annual Horror Novel contest is going on right effing now

We have been big fans of the various horror novels released by the publishing house, Inkshares. When we read Scott Thomas’ Kill Creek earlier this year, we saw it as a “a solid modernization” of the haunted house novel, and referred to the ending as “sheer fucking terror.” J-F Dubeau’s A God in the Shed is a novel you’ll “try to burn through this in a weekend, because it’s the sort of story where you’re desirous of knowing every maddening aspect of this strange town and the people within it.”

We really like their stuff, so when we saw that they were sponsoring a second annual horror contest — and because we’re now a solid five days into NaNoWriMo — we thought we’d share with you the opportunity to submit your manuscript (partial or complete!) to the company. They’ll be picking three authors for consideration, and given their ever-growing stable of solid reads, you’d do well to enter right here at this link. The contest runs through December 14.

“On October 20, 1967, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin emerged from a forest in Northern California with 59 seconds of grainy, shaky, silent 16mm film that supposedly offered documentary evidence of the Sasquatch, a creature of Native American folklore. Although neither Patterson nor Gimlin had any pr

It seems appropriate that the two latest books added to my bookshelf are pocket paperbacks. Sometimes, massive books devoted to film studies have a tendency to ramble on, taking far more pages than necessary to communicate their points. This made the arrival of the latest installments of Wallflower

His first novel, John Dies at the End, its sequel, This Book Is Full of Spiders, and the latest, What the Hell Did I Just Read, all deal with the fact that what we’re seeing with our eyes might not actually be wh
