Two Cool New Collectibles: Freddy And Jason Tater Heads

Freddy Kruger and Jason Vorhees are the newest addition of the Pop Taters line belonging to PPWToys. These Taters are just two of the many choices in the line that includes famous characters and people. I have to say the two are more adorable than scary, but would make a great addition to any horror collection. The Taters will be available in October for the price of $17.99 each.

Inversion by Charles Scott

Inversion by Charles Scott is a short story by up and coming writer Charles Scott. The book description offered only a slight insight into what the book might be about, so naturally I was curious. Book Description: A dark ritual begins a journey with no end in sight… The debut short story of author Charles Scott. Overall Review: 4.5/5 My only dislike about this story was the fact that it was so short. Granted, I realize that when something is presented as a “short story” that one shouldn’t go in expecting a tome, but I’m unaccustomed to seeing short stories offered in their own right on Amazon that are less than 10 pages in length. With that being said, I thoroughly enjoyed “Inversion”. Scott’s tone was delightfully dark and sinister, there was plenty of violent language/disgusting imagery to satisfy my diabolical, gorehound side, and the words were generally well chosen. The tone is far from the conversational sort that I’m
