Book Review: “Feed” by Mira Grant

If there are two things I love, they’re blogging and zombies. And although I thought that my life would be nearly incomplete without the combination of these two relatively unrelated things, I am pleased to announce that because of reading Mira Grant’s Feed, I can die a happy man.

Review: Stephen King’s Under the Dome

“Huh.” When I finished Under the Dome, that’s all I could say. I just closed the novel and contemplated the ending. I couldn’t say anything else but “huh.” And for me, that’s high praise. Ashamed as I am to say it, Under the Dome is the first novel I’ve finished since June. I’ve listened to [...]

Zombies Rule! Vampires Drool!

Vampires bother me. And not just because some wackjob housewife decided to make it popular that they sparkle. They’ve always been so generic.

Stephen King’s Under the Dome: Expectations

Tomorrow, November 10th, Stephen King’s newest novel Under the Dome is being released.

His car’s engine had died at roughly the same time that [...]

Saw VI – Sixth Time’s a Charm?

When I was a kid, horror movies thrived off spectacularly fake blood and gore, latex masks, and rubber costumes for the monsters. These days, however, the more realistically rendered the violence/creature, the better the movie sells. And I think that was in part due to the success of 2004’s Saw. Now on its sixth installment, [...]

Graystone Manor – Haunted Hype

This blog was co-authored with my fiancée, Jenn. Today was a long day. Jenn presented a paper at an academic conference, then we ran wedding errands until finally, after around 12 hours of running, we were tired. Given that it’s now three weeks until our wedding, we thought we’d go to a haunted house to destress. [...]
