Horror author Matt Cowan examines the genre past and present
This anthology, edited by David T. Wilbanks and Craig Clark, was the first offering from e-publisher ACID GRAVE PRESS.

Read More ROBERT W. CHAMBERSMarianne Halbert’s collection of stories, WAKE UP AND SMELL THE CREEPY, contains nine stories ranging from horror to sci-fi to crime.
