I wish I had more nice things to say about The Twisted Ones. Given how impressed I was with The Hollow Places, I expected another creative cosmic horror with a breezy pace. And while I will ultimately have several nice things to say about the book, it’s a step down in quality.

(A blast from the past. This peculiar series was both very in step with the popular books of the time and yet unlike them. If you haven’t read it, here’s an old review of the first book. – Brandon Scott) Originally Published: September 16th, 2019 Miss Peregrine’s: A Peculiar Hit Of A Book My initial…
I’d not read anything by T. Kingfisher before this novel, but given the grace of the prose, The Hollow Places will not be the last. She’s shown her sureness within both this subgenre and in the art of simply telling a good story.

Miss Peregrine’s: A Peculiar Hit Of A Book My initial worry regarding Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children was that it was going to be too much a superhero book, too much an X-Men knock off, or some wannabe Harry Potter, but with a twist. The title seemed to promise as much, after all, and…

American Gods is a show I can’t wait for. Seriously, I have no clue how to get the channel Starz but you can bet that I’ll find a way come 2017. I mean the guy behind Pushing Daisies and Hannibal plus the guy who is writing the upcoming Alien and Blade Runner sequels are adapting…
The premise is simple enough: If you had the chance to change history, would you? Hulu’s newest miniseries 11.22.63 is based on the novel of the same name by horror aficionado Stephen King. The show introduces James Franco as Jake Epping, a teacher who is struggling through the harsh realities of life. In the first…
It’s Hollywood…it happens. We get bored and themes get played out and studios relentlessly inundate us with the same thing. It was vampires and for the last few years it appears that everyone has their own zombie screenplay. If I’m going to spend money to see another walking dead feature then it better be new…
