FREAKED
My taste for ridiculous movie novelizations continues
My taste for ridiculous movie novelizations continues
A somewhat early novel by the inimitable Ed Wood, drafted before alcoholism permanently addled his brain and writing abilities
Movie-wise 1998 will go down in memory as a year of misunderstood classics
Nosferatu and Frankenstein are classics. But there’s an inescapable fact that few are willing to acknowledge: neither movie is very good.
An oddity from Quebec that warrants a recommendation, if for no other reason than the fact that it’s so insanely inventive
Books like this are the reason I slog through so many “underground” horror novels, most of which leave me cold.
Here’s an object you rarely ever see: a novel with something for everybody. GEEK LOVE is an unabashedly horrific saga with enough grotesquerie to satisfy the most demanding horror buff, yet it also has the charm and erudition required to sate the literary crowd.
A wildly profane and plain crazy concoction that reads like a deranged collaboration between Flannery O’Connor and Jim Thompson.
A classic of freak lit that predated the better-known GEEK LOVE by nearly a full decade. FREAKS’ AMOUR would appear to have been an influence on the latter novel in its notably perceptive depiction of the day-to-day lives of some severely deformed individuals.
