The DVD market is flooded with horrible do it yourself horror films, but special make-up effects artist Rod Durick of Zombified Studios, hopes to put an end to crappy no-budget films with his new book, Filming the Undead: How to Make Your Own Zombie Movie.
If I had allowed the collector in me to take over, I would’ve became a great candidate to star on an episode of Hoarders. So I decided to stop collecting action figures and books, and only allow myself the pleasure of keeping DVDs.
I still read, I just don’t allow myself to keep a lot of books around. Perhaps a few of you reading this have taken advantage of my free Horror Yearbook giveaways, where I clean out all my old paperbacks and give them away to our readers (one coming soon). Buying books and giving them away can be expensive, so I eventually broke down a bought a Kindle. It’s a great way to start collecting novels again because it takes up zero space.

Each year, the Horror Writers Association presents the Bram Stoker Awards for Superior Achievement in the field of horror writing, named in honor of Bram Stoker, author of the seminal horror work Dracula. Since 1987, the approximately 500 members of the HWA have recommended, nominated and voted on the greatest works of horror and dark fantasy of the previous calendar year, making the Stokers the most prestigious award in the field of horror literature.
Currently the awards are presented in eight categories: Novel, First Novel, Long Fiction, Short Fiction, Fiction Collection, Anthology, Non-fiction, and Poetry Collection. The organization’s Active members will select the winners from this ballot, and the awards will be presented this year at a gala banquet as part of HWA’s Stoker Weekend, held June 16-19, 2011 in Long Island.
Angel of Vengeance is the novel that inspired the TV show, Moonlight [Editor's note: Not Moonlighting], which has been unpublished until now. I have not seen the show, but just based on how the author talks about the two, it seems that the novel is the grittier, more uncompromised version of the story. It makes sense since this is the original version. Things were romanticized a bit more for the television audience. With Angel of Vengeance we are given a vampire hard boiled noir tale of addiction, seduction, and deceptions, just to name a few of the compelling components that keeps this story going at a fast pace, and keeps you interested every step of the way.
The Forbidden Game is a compelling supernatural book series by Vampire Diaries’ author, L.J. Smith.” I have to say it took me awhile to get in to The Hunter, the first novel in the series. The first 50 pages I was mostly disinterested, but wanted to give the book a chance. The biggest issue that held the beginning back were the characters. I didn’t dislike any of them, but most of them seemed kind of bland at first glance. I wasn’t sure if I really felt for them or could experience the story through their eyes the way I should. Once it got in to the game itself and the supernatural element kicked in, it became much more intriguing and exciting.

Author Remy Porter stopped by our message board to let us know about his new novel, Dead Beat, released by Wild Wolf Publishing.
Two great Vampire Academy novels in one year; Richelle Mead is on a roll. As the series go along, it just gets better. I’m really not sure which is my favorite of the series, but the newest addition, Spirit Bound, certainly adds to the intrigue that the series has already built. There’s plenty of action, enticing characters, including our fierce protagonist, Rose, and truly undying love.
