I've talked enough with enough people to know that if you've already seen this film, there's a decent chance you may not agree with the level of enjoyment I got out of seeing this on the big screen.  Mileage definitely caries on opinions and tastes so if you haven't seen it yet, I suggest you do.  Would love to hear your own thoughts even if, or rather, especially if you took away a different perspective than I.                   Hell Notes Presents: EVIL DEAD.

If anyone has a chance to ever experence a reading from Brian Keene, then you really should.  I had a chance to check him out during an End of the world event June 5th,2006 in Toronto, Ontario and was luckier still to steal a seat beside Brian's table where he also had several of his books available.  What immediately struck me was how humble and laid back of a guy Brian was.  No pretentiousness whatsover.  The man was just plain cool and we had had a great chat untl he completely stole with show with an excellent reading from his book, "Terminal." Here he is, seven years later, doing what he does best, only this time at the KGB bar in New York City, reading from his story, "Fetish."  Enjoy!

Here's my review on Books of the Dead Press' recent publication, Little Deaths.  This gorgiosuly wrapped collection of macabre tales is John F.D. Taff's debute launch into what should be a very promising career of leaving behind his nightmares for us to enjoy.   No doubt, John will be a name you will want to keep your eyes on so you can gobble up anything he puts out there. Anyways, here's the review of Little Deaths at Hell Notes .

    Facebook is at it again and this time they've gone too far with a few notable horror authors.  From Rocky Wood's own blog, read his accountment of how faceless Facebook took down his book page after deeming Lisa Morton, Greg Chapman and Rocky Wood's graphic novel, Witch Hunts: A Graphic History of the Burning Times, as having bullying content.   Face book has no right to censor an author's work on these grounds and has gone directly against all of our freedom of speech. Please read Rocky's article and share with evryone you know.

Booth and Harry Shannon's The Hungry 3: At the End of the World is live On Hell Notes' review section.  You can check my review of The Hungry 3 right here .  Feel free to leave a comment and like it if you've read it.  I can tell you right now though, if you plan to read The Hungry 3, you may as well do your self a favor and order all three in the Hungry series at once so you don't have to be like me and wait between books.
