Succulent Prey By Wrath James White PB edition published in 2008 by Leisure Books Succulent Prey is every bit as nasty as the title suggests. It requires its readers to indulge in many a shower as a feeble attempt to rinse off the sexually charged carnage certain to drench those who dare dwell in this book’s insatiable maw. That is Succulent Prey, and this is Wrath James White at his gut-wrenching best. Released in the winter of ‘08, Wrath tells the story of a college kid named Joseph Miles who seems to have it all: a body builder’s physique, rugged good looks resembling superman, and a sexual appetite the envy of all who enlist his willing libido for their own fantasy-based needs. Kidnapped and tortured by a serial rapist as a young boy, Joe can’t get enough physical release to quell the growing hunger burrowed in his gut. With willing lovers from varying walks of kink, Joe’s hunger grows until he begins to see those around him as walking slabs of meat for him to devour i...

Cold Dead Hands is the latest tale of chilling terror from Jeff Strand, and not merely due to its many scenes of gore filled mayhem, but also because it actually takes place in a walk-in freezer. For our main character, Barry, a simple trip to the grocery store to satisfy his need for an avocado quickly turns into a need just to survive. Turns out, a group of crazed fanatics chose that morning to send a message of violence to the greater public using the innocent grocery shoppers as their means to an end. Considering the story's tight time-frame as a novella, Barry doesn't have much time to figure out how to survive long enough to get back home with or without that avocado. When violence erupts, Barry soon finds himself barricaded inside the grocery store's walk-in freezer with a small group of fellow survivors who must now somehow band together even if they don't exactly see eye to eye. Sure, the authorities have the place surrounded, but with no clear vantage poin...

Multiple award-winning Grandmaster of horror author, F. Paul Wilson, digs into his well once more to bring us the (allegedly) final installment in his Repairman Jack series. Set between books Ground Zero and Fatal Error, Last Christmas is the book fans have been waiting for. Paul Wilson previously declared he was done turning in a new RJ novel year after year, but if there ever came a time when a new RJ story begged to be tld, he’d have to tell it. Well, that time has come, and The Last Christmas is the story that demanded to be told as only F. Paul Wilson could tell it.  I was lucky enough to sit down with the author (sorta - he sat at his computer while I sat at mine) to discuss how The Last Christmas came about, what keeps Jack ticking after all these years and what’s next for the author and, of course, our beloved anti-hero, Jack. Dark Bites: What can you tell us about how you came to work with Barry Hoffman and how his Gauntlet Press came to play host as the next pu...
