The Top Seven Haunted Houses in The Marvel Universe (Plus One DC) by Matt Cowan

I love a good haunted house tale. They’re my favorite type of story. Add that to the fact I’ve also been a collector of Marvel Comics for over 25 years, and you’d think the two would have mixed numerous times. Alas, this has not been the case, so I set out to make a list […]

“The Shadow Man of Moon Spine Bridge” by Matt Cowan

Happy Halloween! I hope everyone is enjoying a terrifying day filled with spectral frights. To that end, I’m offering up a short story of my own. “The Shadow Man of Moon Spine Bridge” was originally published in the anthology INDIANA HORROR 2012 by James Ward Kirk Fiction. It’s about a man returning to his childhood […]

HORROR DELVE ASKS: WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE HALLOWEEN COSTUME, RAVEN BOWER?

I’ve been a fan of Raven Bower since her first book, APPARITIONS. Her ability to introduce lifelike, realistic characters into bone-chilling scenes of nightmarish terror are second-to-none. I could go on about how much I enjoyed it and its subsequent sequels, but I did that already here: https://horrordelve.com/2014/03/24/baileykhanetrilogy/. She and her husband Lain have also […]

Horror Delve Asks: What was your favorite HalloweenCostume, Tom English?

Tom English is a writer, an editor, and the owner of DEAD LETTER PRESS. I met him when he accepted my first short story, “The Collective of Blaque Reach”, to serve as a companion chap book to the fantastic anthology, BOUND FOR EVIL: CURIOUS TALES OF BOOKS GONE BAD. I count myself lucky to have […]

Horror Delve Asks: What Was Your Favorite Halloween Costume, David T. Wilbanks?

David T. Wilbanks is one of my absolute favorite people to follow online. His posts about horror and fantasy in literature, on TV and in movies are insightful, witty and always a fun read. I first became aware of him when he used to cohost the great Pod of Horror podcast with Mark Justice. The […]

HORROR DELVE’S SECOND ANNUAL HALLOWEEN READING LIST

Hope everyone’s enjoying October’s monthlong trek toward Halloween. The leaves have started changing color, lurid specters have escaped their basement storage box dungeons to mingle among the living again, and Horror Delve’s Second Annual Halloween Reading List has emerged from the darkness. The stories on this list aren’t necessarily set during Halloween, but they are […]

What Was Your Favorite Halloween Costume, Murphy Edwards?

I met Murphy Edwards when we shared space in a few anthologies from James Ward Kirk Fiction. Through our interactions online, I became very impressed with him as a person. Not only is he a talented writer who excels in creating interesting, lifelike characters, but he’s also great at encouraging his fellow writers. He and […]

Horror Delve Asks: What Was Your Favorite Halloween Costume, Mark Justice?

Mark Justice is a man of many talents. He’s a popular morning radio personality by day, a columnist, podcaster, and horror writer by night. He has a long list of publication credits which includes the DEAD EARTH series cowritten with David T. Wilbanks, his weird west tale, THE DEAD SHERIFF (https://horrordelve.com/2014/04/27/thedeadsheriffreview/), to name a few. He’s […]
