THE WOODS ARE DARK
This is the “restored and uncut” version of THE WOODS ARE DARK, the second novel by the late Richard Laymon, and the one he maintained destroyed his career in the U.S.
A WOMAN RUN MAD
Yet another book whose title and packaging (at least in its mass market incarnation) are directly at odds with its content
THE WOMAN
Any book by the incomparable Jack Ketchum is worth reading—even this one, which is essentially a novelization of the 2011 film of the same name
WOLF OF SHADOWS
This erstwhile children’s book by Whitley Strieber followed his nuclear war epic WAR DAY, and I say the kids got the better deal
THE WOLF
From Los Angeles based artist Tom Neely, a most unique and fascinating “painted novel” that operates on the same level as an especially weird David Lynch movie
WILLY
One of the most memorable thinking person’s horror stories to appear in some time, and one of 2011’s standout publications
THE WILD WHITE WITCH
The idea of spicing the MANDINGO-inspired slavesploitation genre with supernatural eroticism definitely has promise, but this 1973 attempt is uninspiring and dull
THE WHITE LAMA
Here we have further proof that the Chilean writer/filmmaker Alexandro (or Alejandro) Jodorowsky is one of most magnificently brain-fried geniuses alive
WHILE THE DEVIL WAITS
The Jim Thompson-esque first person psycho genre gets a smart and troubling update in this gripping account that owes much to Thompson’s pulpy fiction, as well as the darker, more idiosyncratic crime novels of Charles Willeford
WHEN THE WIND BLOWS
This disturbing marvel of a graphic novel doesn’t often come up in discussions of the adult comic book renaissance of the 1980s, but it deserves a place of honor
