Genre distributor The Horror Collective has announced that it will be distributing Andrew Merrill’s nightmarish horror-thriller Rot. In the film, “When Madison’s ex-boyfriend goes missing, his friends expect her to lead the search to find him. But something vile has taken over his body, and what they find is worse than any of them could have imagined.” The film stars Kris Alexandrea (Gothic Springs), Johnny Kostrey (Kidding, Aquarius, The Good Place), McKale Jude Bingham (Betrayed), Adam Burch (Nazis at the Center of the Earth), and Eileen Dietz (The Exorcist, 100 Acres of Hell, Halloween 2). Writer-director Andrew Merrill says of the experience of making ROT that “I’m incredibly proud of what our team pulled off, and so grateful that everybody stuck with me through all the late nights, cramped apartments, and general craziness of independent filmmaking. I’m excited for ROT to find it’s audience, and I hope it will resonate with them as much as it has with me.” The

Amazon Studio‘s new supernatural original series “The Rig” will take us out to sea. The six-part series has now been given the green light by Amazon with John Strickland (“Line of Duty”) helming the project. Deadline reports that “The series is set onboard the Kishorn Bravo oil rig, stationed off the Scottish coast in the dangerous waters of the North Sea. When the crew are due to return to the mainland, a mysterious and all-enveloping fog rolls through and they find themselves cut off from all communication with the shore and the outside world. As they endeavor to discover what’s driving this force, bonds are broken, allegiances formed and generational fault lines exposed.” The project comes from writer David Macpherson and UK producer Wild Mercury Productions, who was behind Troy: Fall of a City and the third seasons of “Humans.” “The Rig” is being described as a “character-driven, epic thriller, full of heart-grabbing action and bold, original ideas,” by Derek

The blood-drenched indie cannibal horror Human Hibachi was set to arrive on Amazon this month but has now been banned on Amazon due to its intense, horrific, and graphic nature. But don’t worry, you can still witness the carnage this month on the official Human Hibachi website. In the film, a man documents his girlfriend’s 35th birthday on his phone. What he captures throughout the night are the most disturbing human acts imaginable. So when I made this film, I knew some of the stuff that I put in it might exclude us from platforms like Amazon, however, I wanted to see my vision through so I wasn’t going to let that hold me back. The main goal was to make something different… something that will be remembered and I’ll take that over being rejected by a platform any day.” Director Mario Cerrito states. Elizabeth Gaynor, Carmine Giordano, Wataru Nishida, Carley Harper, Sopheaktra Theng, Andrew Hunsicker, John Campanile, and Stafford

After reviewing both Bleak Precision and The Sublime Darkness, I thought it was definitely time to interview Greg Chapman. Let me tell you, this guy is not only a great author and fantastic illustrator, but he is out there working hard to push writing and horror into the limelight! He has an impressive and extremely diverse catalogue and I was very happy that he agreed to answer some questions about how his horror-filled mind works. (Horror Fuel) You have such a variety of work and a large collection of that work. Novels, novellas, short stories, graphic novels, do you approach the different styles differently? What do you get from each style? (Greg Chapman) Great question Greg. I approach everything I write differently each time. Short stories (which ironically, I find the most challenging), tend to come to me at the most unforeseen moments and I usually write a short story when I an image or scenario or even a word

I love my job of reviewing books. I love getting chatting with authors and being able to read their work. When I received a pdf of the novella The Body Will Follow from author Rob E. Boley I read the synopsis and was hooked before even reading the first page. To my great surprise, I was even more hooked as soon as dove into the book. This is such a unique, entertaining and intriguing story that I was sad to finish it. Characters Carrie and Daniel, the two main characters in the book, are flawed, strong, weak, scared, awkward, unsure, lonely, sick, powerful and realistic people who are trying to figure out who they are and what their lives are. It is not an easy thing to fit so much depth of story into only 150 pages, but the way Boley does it is fantastic. He seamlessly weaves layer after layer of story together. Not only does the book focus

Greg Chapman is a horror author in the truest, purest sense of the title. He thrives in darkness and basks in the bleak world of fear. I am a big fan and I was so happy to read his short story collection: The Sublime Darkness: And Other Dark Stories. This is the second book I have read of Chapman’s and so this time I was prepared for the dive into the depths of darkness…and it was a fantastic journey! Characters The characters in these stories are impressive. Not only are they always unique and intriguing, but they are realistic. Even in the darkest of his universes, the characters in Chapman’s stories seem like regular people in traumatic situations. They could be your neighbor, or the person you just passed on the street last time you went on a walk. Not only does he create such great characters, but he does it in an impressive way. Chapman excels at fully introducing
