GIRLY
This British oddity represents yet another case of promising material given indifferent treatment
THE INFLUENCE
A novel that often reads like a Ramsey Campbell Greatest Hits package
RED HEDZ, SZMONHFU and JANE’S GAME
It’s been said of TOMIE that there is “nothing in Western horror literature, cinema and comics quite like it.” Not unless you take into account the 1989 novella RED HEDZ, revised as SZMONHFU and JANE’S GAME
1988: The Year in Bedlam
I really hate to keep repeating myself in my year-end summations, but I just have to say it: 1988 was an abysmal year for movies
THE WYRM
Fast, slick, action packed pulp horror by an author who really knows how to do this sort of thing
THE MIND PARASITES
A bizarre book with an even more bizarre history
MIDNIGHT MOVIE (1994)
A BBC telefilm from 1994, and one of the final such efforts by England’s late Dennis Potter

THE MAGIC TOYSHOP evinces all the qualities that defines Angela Carter’s fiction, namely a fair amount—though not nearly enough in this case—of perverse invention
BORN OF FIRE
A British made exercise in Eastern-flavored weirdness that’s not a bad movie, but it could definitely have used a more adventurous treatment.

Here you’ll find a slew of wild, goofy, unpredictable and absolutely first rate reading.
