BLACK INFINITY: DEADLY PLANETS SPECIAL PREVIEW

I’ve previously posted here about my movie review column that made its debute in the new science fiction journal Black Infinity from Tom English and Dead Letter Press.

THE MAN IN THE PICTURE BY SUSAN HILL REVIEW

When I saw this novella in a stack of discounted books awhile back, I was intrigued by its premise. Seeing it was authored by Susan Hill, who wrote WOMAN IN BLACK, which has been adapted to film more than once, intrigued me even more. THE MAN IN THE PICTURE (2008) is primarily told to the protagonist by […]

THE SCARIEST OBSCURE MARVEL SUPER VILLAIN POLL RESULTS

With Halloween just days away, it’s time to close the voting for Horror Delve’s Scariest Obscure Supervillain Poll.

Rom the Spaceknight’s encounter against […]

Tom English is a man of many talents. Alongside working his full time job as a chemist, he’s also an editor, writes his own uncanny tales, and is the publisher of Dead Letter Press (where he published my first short story, “The Collective of Blaque Reach”).

Who’s The Scariest, Obscure Marvel Comic Book Villain?

For this poll, I’m looking for the scariest, horror-themed, obscure Marvel super villain. I know Galactus and Thanos would certainly be terrifying to encounter, but I’m looking for ones who fit solidly in a horror setting by either their look, origin or power. I’ve also left out the very well known villains such as Dracula, […]

THINGS SLIP THROUGH BY KEVIN LUCIA REVIEW

I first became aware of Kevin Lucia when he used to host his excellent Horror 101 segments on The Tales To Terrify podcast. I loved his indepth analysis of macabre literature from the past and present. I especially loved its focus on classic haunted house stories. I was even lucky enough to share Tales To […]

Seven Macabre Tales By W.W. Jacobs

William Wymark Jacobs was born in London, England in 1863. He worked at The Post Office Savings Bank for many years while also writing a number of his stories. Much of his output was of the humorous variety, but he penned some chilling horror tales as well. Today he’s best remembered for the iconic horror […]
