News — night worms

John's Review:

D.W. Gillespie has surprised the hell out of me with his latest novel, One by One. It’s a wonderfully written horror that takes a simple idea and manages to make it both terrifying and surprising.

The story starts out simple enough. Down on their luck, the Easton family sells their home in order to begin again in a fixer-upper against the wishes of essentially everyone BUT dad. They move in, and despite dad’s best efforts, the house just feels off to everyone else. Even our protagonist, 10 year old Alice, who’s...

Night Worms (NW): Okay, perfect! First, a friend on Twitter wants to know how you feel about being a bookmark. I'm assuming that means the one from A STRANGER DREAM. I own one and I have to say, I thought she captured the essence of you so well! The unassuming pose, the hair and of course you're holding my favorite book of yours...

Chad Lutzke (CL): I was very honored to be asked. Karlee's a great artist. It's a bit surreal. I didn't feel very worthy...

Happy Friday Night Worms! I finished up Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z. Brite (who now identifies as Billy Martin, but is known professionally as Poppy Z.

The characters, for the...

Oh, how I do love a good B slasher type movie and this book basically incorporates this feel for me.  I am not a fan of reunions and the two that I’ve been to in my life could’ve maybe used the spark that The Fra brought to this one. Just kidding... ahem.  But I think we all do know what it feels like in high school. I was in the “not quite” category. Not quite popular. Not quite the athlete. Not quite..... I basically lived in purgatory and quite honestly, I liked being on the “outside” and...

A few months ago, while looking through all of the books Flametree press had up for sale on their website, I noticed Hellrider. One look at the demon on that motorcycle and I was immediately sold on this book. I wanted to love Hellrider. I NEEDED to love Hellrider. As I sit here after finishing the latest by JG Faherty, I’m disappointed to say that I had some issues with it that really prevented me from doing so.
