Recently I had the honor and privilege to interview Author Danica Davidson. Danica is leaving her mark on the literary world with quite an extensive resume but her crowning achievement is being the author of a series of books based on the smash hit video game ‘Minecraft’. Horror Fuel: “What or Who, inspired you to become a writer?” Danica Davidson : “I just liked telling stories ever since I was a little kid. I have stories from when I was three, that I either wrote IN VERY BIG LETTERS or my parents wrote down when I dictated it to them (and the letters look much better). I was writing and illustrating my own stapled-together picture books in first grade and writing novels in middle school. I was even submitting to agents and people in publishing at that time, and they all told me I was too young. I didn’t give up.” Horror Fuel: “You have quite a list of notable

John Wick director Chad Stahelski is teaming up again with Basil Iwanyk (producer of John Wick) for the adaption of the comic series ‘Kill or Be Killed’ by ‘Winter Soldier’ creator Ed Brubaker. Dan Casey who also adapted the comic ‘Incognito’ will be penning the script, according to THR. “The project tells of a depressed college student who attempts suicide. He survives due to unlikely events but is soon visited by a demon who explains that he was the one who spared the student’s life. But there’s a price to be paid: Going forward, the young man will be allowed to live one month for every person he kills.” Erica Lee and Jeff Waxman (mother!) will also produce along with Iwanyk.

Last year, Shout! Factory brought us Howard Lovecraft and the Frozen Kingdom, an off-kilter, yet charming blend of kid-vid and the writings of horror maestro H.P. Lovecraft that blended world devouring ancient gods and doe-eyed, cutesy character design in a flick that worked way better than it had any right to. Well, a year has passed, and ol’ SF have brought us a new installment in the franchise titled Howard Lovecraft and the Undersea Kingdom…and I’m happy to say that much of the fun has been retained (hell, there have actually been some improvements), but all is not rainbows and puppies in R’lyeh… Howard Lovecraft and the Undersea Kingdom continues the adventures of a young Howard Philips Lovecraft who is charged with protecting the realms of R’lyeh and it’s surrounding locales with a bit of the ol’ inherited family magic. While contending with that, he must rescue his parents who find themselves all proper kidnapped by the mad King Abdul

The ‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’ series, originally developed for the CW, has received a straight-to-series order at Netflix. The series has already been green-lighted for two-seasons and 20-episodes to start off with, according to Deadline. The show, based on the graphic novel ‘The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’, is from the team behind ‘Riverdale’, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Berlanti Productions, and Warner Bros. Television. Aquirre-Sacasa penned the script for the pilot which Lee Toland Krieger directed. Unlike the ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch’ that aired from ’96 to 2003, this series will be a dark drama mixed with horror and is an origin story in which Sabrina finds herself wrestling with her duel-nature, half witch, half human. While Sabrina is trying to find her way she will fight the evil force that threatens her and her family. Aguirre-Sacasa, Krieger, and Berlanti Productions will executive produce the series along with Sarah Schechter and Jon Goldwater of Archie Comics.

Comic book creator and writer Mark L. Miller took us inside two of his upcoming comics, ‘Gravetrancers’ and ‘Piourette’, during our recent interview. We did get a full look at both issues. While we can’t reveal the details I can tell you that both are well written and the art is dark and fantastic. They both get two thumbs up from us. Want to know more? Check out the interview and hear details from Miller himself. Horror Fuel: “When did you discover your love for comics?” MLM: “I think I learned how to read from comics. At a really early age, my father would take me to the corner store and let me pick out a comic book. I think the earliest ones I can remember was the original Contest of Champions miniseries that introduced me to the entire Marvel Universe. It was amazing and I wanted to learn more and more about all of these great characters. I was

Most gamers who are fans of AMC’s acclaimed hit series, ‘The Walking Dead’, are used to the popular Telltale Episodic game series by the same name but fans can rejoice getting the game they feel they deserve with a first-person co-op shooting game that’s being developed by Overkill, known for their hit first person shooting heist co-op series ‘Payday’. ‘Overkill’s The Walking Dead’ will offer players a chance to play as new characters and a new storyline which from what I can only assume takes place in Washington D.C. as the game’s tagline is “In 2018, Washington will fall.

I sat down with Glenn Herdling to talk comics and to discuss the first two novels of his ‘Piper’ Series. During our conversation, he also told me about his days as a Marvel Editor and a comic book writer. He took us inside the first novel, ‘Piper Houdini: Apprentice of Coney Island’, and revealed how the character was born and teased where the second book, ‘Piper Houdini: Nightmare on Esopus Island’, will take readers. Horror Fuel: “So, comics, huh?” Glenn Herdling: “Yeah, comics. I have some experiences with writing some horror things for Marvel in my time there including one of the long forgotten characters, Simon Garth, the original Marvel Zombie.

That’s what I have in the Piper Houdini novel, Voodoo zombies.” Horror Fuel: “I’m a big fan of Voodoo zombies.” Glenn Herdling: “Yeah, they are a lot of fun. They bring
