CUJO
CUJO carries Stephen King’s well-known penchant for bloat to hellacious extremes. It includes just about every extraneous detail you can think of.
THE COUNTRY OF WOLVES
This gorgeously designed graphic novel fleshes out an ancient Inuit folktale.
BRUJO
The impressive debut novel by the late William Relling, Jr.
BLUE PAGODA
This 1946 novel, one of two A. Merritt novels “completed” by Hannes Bok, has intrigued me for some time
The Birthing House
eemingly everyone has praised this novel to the skies, and after reading it I’ll have to say that in this case everyone is right. A first novel of uncommon nuance and conviction, THE BIRTHING HOUSE has a probing intelligence and depth of characterization that aren’t supposed to be able to co-exist with supernatural scares. Those wanting a primer on what’s wrong with much of today’s horror fiction should read this book, as it gets most everything right!
THE BEYOND
This is the graphic novel adaptation of Lucio Fulci’s 1981 splatter masterpiece THE BEYOND
BALAOO
The altogether outrageous account of a pithecanthrope, or ape-man.
APELAND
Another enjoyably depraved relic from the anything-goes seventies.
JAWS at 40
Today marks the 40th anniversary of the June 20, 1975 release of Steven Spielberg’s JAWS
On the “Late” Jerome Boivin
Continuing with my takes on cinematic underachievers, we come to France’s Jerome Boivin.
