Review of Bryan Hall’s The Vagrant

Having enjoyed Bryan Hall’s short story collection Whispers from the Dark (read my review of it here), I was looking forward to reading The Vagrant, the introductory novelette to his Southern Hauntings Saga. I wasn’t disappointed. Steeped in the Southern Gothic tradition, Hall’s haunting story, use of subtle horror, and flowing writing style introduces readers [...]

De Mortuis Viventibus by Chad P. Brown

Review of Bryan Hall’s Whispers From The Dark

I discovered Bryan Hall through Armand Rosamilia’s website and decided to give him a try when I saw this short story collection. I was initially interested in Hall because he writes southern / Appalachian horror (one of my favorites to read and write since I’m from West Virginia) and I was exceptionally pleased with this [...]

My Childhood Fears Revisited and Humiliated

Of all the weirdest triggers, it was an episode of “That ’70s Show” I watched this past week that got me to thinking about my childhood fears. And, probably against my better judgment, I’ve decided to post about some of my childhood fears and what it was about them that scared me when I was [...]

Werewolves, Zombies, and...Romans? Oh My!

Check out a short story I wrote posted over on my blog. I had been playing around with writing a short story about Romans and zombies for a while. My Muse finally inspired me over the weekend and I threw in a werewolf for good measure. Enjoy!
