EAT HIM IF YOU LIKE
Definitely one for the truth-is-stranger-than-fiction category, a novelized account of the “Affaire de Hautefaye” that occurred on August 16, 1870.
SAUSAGEY SANTA
While about as deep as a Bugs Bunny cartoon, SAUSAGEY SANTA is fun, mean-spirited and hyper-imaginative. It’s not as experimental as I feared it might be, as the emphasis is on action and invention.
VIDEODROME
Yes, this is a movie novelization, and yes, it does suffer from quite a few of the pratfalls afflicting most such books
Five Books Called Halloween
Five books called Halloween. That’s all.
Yuletide Horror Fiction
Christmas-themed horror fiction is as rich and varied as Yuletide horror cinema.
DYING TO LIVE: LIFE SENTENCE
I’ve shunned most of the zombie apocalypse novels currently packing bookstore shelves, but did read DYING TO LIVE: LIFE SENTENCE, which turned out to be an above-average entry in every respect.

One of the most iconic horror manga series of all time was this sprawling quasi-science fictional saga by writer-illustrator Kazuo Umezu
DR. BLACK AND THE GUERRILLIA
This wildly satiric and surreal novella is one of several Connell tales centered on the character of Dr. Black, “polymath and great phytographist, foremost of amateur nephologists.”
A DREAM LIKE MINE
The issue of Native American exploitation is given an alternately gritty and hallucinatory airing in this novel, a starkly violent thriller with a mystical edge. The setting is an Indian reservation in Ontario, Canada, where an unnamed white male reporter is thrust into an intense drama.
