New Christmas Horror Book Returns to ’80s Horror

Book Review: The Light Reapers: End of the World

I have just had the chance to read the novel The Light Reapers: End of the World by Gary Hickman. Right off the bat, bluntly and honestly, I enjoyed this novel very much and I am grateful that Mr. Hickman sent it to me to read and review. The “Light Reapers” are an elite special ops group of soldiers who have a history of missions together that have bonded them over the years. They are deployed to rescue a scientist who may be able to find a cure for a viral pandemic caused by an ISIS faction which turns people into vicious, flesh eating hordes who who kill for any reason and in every grotesque way you can imagine. Story On the surface, the story of Light Reapers is not anything new. Zombies are a time honored horror tradition with a long, long list of media building their anthology of gnawing and feeding on flesh. For broad strokes purposes, this

Graphic Novel Review: Membrane: Book One By Michael Broom

When I received Michael Broom‘s debut graphic novel “Membrane” I was extremely excited. You see, I’ve been following Broom’s social media accounts since I interviewed him back in 2017 about his work with KNB and on “The Walking Dead”. The incredible artist has been teasing the graphic novel and his children’s book “Sky Rats” and its sequel for a while. I’m glad to finally have the book in hand. The novel follows a military man turned criminal Called on by the government to go on a mission to another dimension, tasked with retrieving another soldier. When he arrives in the nightmare dimension his long journey begins across an alien landscape filled with strange creatures. The forward is written by none other by Greg Nicotero (“The Walking Dead”, “Creepshow”). Bio-organic flying creatures that provide light, a sword that is virtually alive, and cemeteries whose inhabitants don’t like being disturbed; Membrane has the ability to redifine everything that we have ever imagined

Osgood Perkins Adapting Horror Novel ‘A Head Full Of Ghosts”

Osgood Perkins has become a heavy hitter in the horror genre, delivering films like The Blackcoat’s Daughter, I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House, and Gretel & Hansel, which just arrived in theaters. So, you may be wondering what’s next for Perkins. According to Bloody Disgusting, he’s next doing a loose adaptation of Paul G. Tremblay‘s A Head Full of Ghosts which won the 2015 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a Novel. Stephen King said the novel, “Sacred the living hell out of me and I’m pretty hard to scare.” The plot of the novel involves an American family under strain when their fourteen-year-old daughter, Marjorie Barrett, exhibits signs of mental illness. The story is told from the point of view of Marjorie’s eight-year-old sister, Merry. The novel includes elements of Catholic exorcism and reality television exploitation. It’s certainly a script that I’m happy about. Whether or not that becomes a movie, you know how

We Want An Adaptation Of Mary Shelley’s “Too Dark” Novel ‘The Last Man’

Mary Shelley, known for her classic novel Frankenstein, wrote another less known novel, The Last Man, published in 1826. The novel was considered too dark for the time and was not reprinted until the 1960s. But with today’s love for horror, the tale would be a hit and is begging to be adapted. Called “a sickening repetition of horrors,” by one reviewer, the dystopian tale is set in 2100 in England. The people in the novel travel in ballons and the rest of the world is at peace, save for Greece and Turkey who are at war. Narrator, Lione Verney recounts the story of his life before becoming the last man alive after a plague sweeps the world. He witnesses the breakdown of society and the growth of doomsday cults as people struggle to find a cure for the plague, to uncover where it came from and what caused it. The Last Man was the first apocalyptic written in English
