‘A Seed In A Soil Of Sorrow’ Is A Fantastic, Horrifying Short Story (Review)

There are not many things I love reading more than short stories. Make it a horror short stories and it makes it better.

Henke has been in over 95 films and series. I was eager to talk with him. Horror Fuel: “I really enjoyed your work in both Justified and Orange Is the New Black. Boy, you play a rough character in that one. Piscatella was a real piece of work. Was it difficult filming scenes like the one with Red and to get in
