Embarrassing true story: I believed in the Easter bunny for years after I stopped believing in Santa Claus. Somehow I found the idea of an anthropomorphic rabbit with a basketful of candy far more believable than an kindly old man with a sackful of toys. The fact that neither was particularly logical didn’t bother me [...]

Sometime back in a fit of creative madness I decided it would be a dandy idea to create a wiki documenting Maundbury: a fictitious New England town stuck in 1978. Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, Dark Shadows and films like The Wicker Man, me and a group of likewise oddball creatives set about populating our open source gothic horror with dark family secrets, mysterious plagues, witch cults and hidden scientific experiments. Sadly, I got too busy to keep it up, but even today there are a few inspired souls keeping Maundbury spooky.
From brothers Kiah and Tristan Roache-Turner comes Wyrmwood: an apocalyptic action film that draws inspiration from Dawn of the Dead and The Road Warrior.
Richard Gropp’s Bad Glass has been one of the most pleasant surprises of the season: a surrealistic fantasy-horror classic from not only a first-time author, but one who was plucked out of relative obscurity via our own Suvudu writing contest. It’s like some kind of modern day fairy tale, really.
When you begin to read Bad [...]

It’s day two of our annual Suvudu gift guide, and well, I’m going to cheat on this one by suggesting that you buy two books: Justin Cronin’s The Passage and its sequel, The Twelve. I can’t very well recommend the sequel to a novel without mentioning the original novel, right? (Robot Santa? Chanukah Zombie? Kwanzaa [...]

We’re a week out from the release of Justin Cronin’s The Twelve, the sequel to his break-out apocalyptic horror novel The Passage. I can’t wait. I have to admit that The Passage took a little while to grown on me, but once it did, it fully colonized my entire system like a virus. I was [...]

Glen Duncan’s The Last Werewolf ambushed me last year like a predator lunging out of the darkness. I wasn’t expecting the blackly humorous werewolf novel that would take over every spare moment I had until I read the final page. I wasn’t prepared for Jacob Marlowe, the last werewolf: An urbane protagonist whose creator described [...]

While Steven Moffat has done amazing work on both the Doctor Who series and Sherlock, be sure that you don’t overlook one of his earlier and fantastic works with Jekyll.
