Review: The Incurables by Jon Bassoff
9/10 I absolutely loved this book. It was dark, twisted, gory in parts and psychologically messed up – what’s not to love?! Jon Bassoff is now on my list of authors to look out for, I gather that he’s previous work is equally awesome and has been adapted for the tellybox. This book was […]
Review : The Visit
7/10 M. Night Shyamalan films will always get a look in from me, Sixth Sense and The Village made such an impact on me that I’ll forgive some of the flops in his repertoire. Obviously I’m not going to give away the twist in the plot, but I reckon we’re all seasoned enough film viewers […]
Review: The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham
One day I will give a book a bad review but today is not that day. I was already biased in favour of this book for a couple of reasons; I remember my mum telling me she had to read this book in highschool and that she was terrified that the triffids would come to […]
The Taxidermist’s Daughter : A Review
10/10 Kate Mosse I’m only slightly embarrassed to admit that I bought this book based on two factors: 1) The cover is SO DAMN PRETTY 2) I’ve read Kate Mosse’s work before But mostly #1, I probably would have bought this book even if I didn’t know the author. I instantly fell in love with […]
Guilty Pleasures

Not just the Asylum flicks like Sharknado and the MegaMonster series (not that they’re not amazing) but gore fests like Cannibal Holocaust, Brain Dead and Stendthal Syndrome. I like them […]
Heart Shaped Box: A Review
9.5/10 This book was recommended to me by one of my Twitter followers after a plea for a decent horror book, this has taught me that I can trust the advice of strangers. I’m not going to say anything about the author though details are readily available online, I recommend reading the book before doing […]
Why I’ve Only Just Remembered I Hate Girly Nights
I’ll keep this brief, not least because I’ve had to down a few beers to wash away the horror of this evening (‘Had to’ is a strong term, but hush). I came home from work this evening to participate in a ‘girly night’ set up by my housemate, I haven’t done one of these in […]
