Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho and its sequels, prequels and remakes: Psycho II, Psycho III, Bates Motel, Psycho IV: The Beginning, and Psycho
Psycho, the 1960 film by Alfred Hitchcock from the novel by Robert Bloch (which was in turn based on the life of Ed Gein, also the inspiration for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Silence of the Lambs), is such … Continue reading
John Clute’s The Darkening Garden: A Short Lexicon of Horror
Ahhhh, come in. Let me set aside Catherynne M. Valente’s new novel The Orphan’s Tales: In the Night Garden – lovely take on The Arabian Nights motif with elements of fantasy and horror in it. What’s that on my desk? … Continue reading

Stephen King’s The Dark Tower Series: The Gunslinger, The Drawing of the Three, and The Wastelands

Stephen King’s Under the Dome and Blockade Billy
