Although I am unsure about those younger than me, I would like to think that humans around my age, and above, can pretty much agree it is preferred to read the original print version of a piece of work, prior to seeing a cinematic take. Quite often, at least for my generation, it is a […]
Books, who needs them right? We have the internet to look up everything we need to know. The only thing about that is, when you come across a cool book, with a cool topic, you can’t plop your smartphone on the coffee table for your friends when they come by they’ll see it, pick it […]
William Vitka’s brand of horror in Emergence lies in that eerie all too real realm of possibilities. It’s an often under or mis-represented kind that plays on ancient theories and deep rooted fears- the kind that makes an uncomfortable amount of sense if you put the pieces together.

Those who managed to stay alive must now face the monsters in their midst. “It’s been said many times before,” says […]

It’s hard to imagine a debut novel about zombies standing out in such an overflowing genre, but Stevie Kopas pulls it off with flying colors in her debut novel, The Breadwinner.
