  • Amazing

    Late to the party and currently making my way through the back episodes. Fantastic guests and a great host create a genuinely insightful look into the world of horror. The recommendations have put my TBR list too near ungovernable levels and the show proves that horror folk are genuinely nice people. Thoroughly recommend

I love that the focus is nearly entirely on horror lit instead of branching out too broadly into the world of horror cinema. I have learned so much in a short time about so many authors and books that I only really knew by their titles previously and that many people considered them good. I have been avidly follow... more
