Ghoul – Brian Keene

The boys spend their summer hanging out in their underground clubhouse locatedContinue reading “Ghoul – Brian Keene”

Killer Lake – W.D. Gagliani & David Benton

Killdeer Lake, aka Killer Lake, is the setting for W.D. Gagliani and David Benton’s collaboration with the same name. What is Killer Lake, you ask?

Friday the 13th, April Fool’s Day, Dawn of the Dead, Psycho, Motel Hell,Continue reading “Killer Lake – W.D. Gagliani & David Benton”

Under The Fang – Edited by Robert R. McCammon

On a trip to my favorite used bookstore, I came across it again and made sure not  to overlook it this time. Let’s seeContinue reading “Under The Fang – Edited by Robert R. McCammon”
