| Today coulda been a Leap Day | 3.01.2010 |
I think someone sneaks in and changes my calendar. Because I know it can't possibly have been three weeks since I updated this intro section. And then I peruse the non-updated items and see that there are quite a number of updates. Apparently it has indeed been three weeks since I updated here.
With the addition of new staff, we are resuming a long neglected area of Horror-Web. Interviews. You know you love them. And artistic and creative people (especially writers) LOVE to talk about themselves. I wanted to spice it up a bit, so I revamped the overall look of the interview page. So, without further ado here is the new interview section And it comes with that new webpage smell and two (count them with me. . . TWO) brand new author interviews. Interview #1 is by Little Miss ZomCon. She did an interview with Alexandra Sokoloff. Interview #2 is by SmartNDeadly She did an interview with Michael West.
Lets take a baby step from there. When there is a relevant game, we try and review these as well. I came across a game that screamed out REVIEW ME. Not being one to deny the random pleadings of inanimate objects, I jumped headfirst into the game. What game I hear you asking: Plants vs. Zombies by Popcap Games.
Sticking with areas that have just a few recent updates we look at the blog. Little Miss Zomcon added a blog. And if you haven't checked the older blogs, put that index finger to work on something other than clicking and scroll that wheel.
In this day and age, magazines have morphed a bit. There are still the traditional ones, but there is also a surge in online magazines. The_Undead_Review got his rapidly decomposing little mitts on the latest Rue Morgue (issue#97) while Little Miss ZomCon went digital with Deadlines#3.
And now for some visual stimulation. A bit of eye candy (although to be honest some candies really suck. Who decided that sour was a good candy flavor anyway?) That is in no way a segue into into Flunky's Supernatural reviews. But here is the link to her ongoing project. From there she moved on to Dorian Gray. And then we had an onslaught from the undead corner. The_Undead_Review will start in Pakistan with Hells Ground. From there he moves to Germany for Blitzkrieg: Escape from Stalag 69. Then he meanders into the backwoods of Arkansas for The Legend of Boggy Creek. Moving to Iowa he finds kinship with The Crazies The Crazies. How could he get through any length of time without some real zombie movies? A pair of them even: Day of the Dead (2009) and Return of the Living Dead 3 And I almost forgot Fright Flick. I haven't been entirely idle. Check out my Wolfman review.
Only one area left untouched. Books.
PennyDreadful is a new reviewer who makes her debut with a splash. Several matter of fact:A Local Habitation by Seanan McGuire, The Strain by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan, The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters, Her Fearful Symmetry by Audry Niffenegger, Roadkill by Rob Thurman. SmartNDeadly checked out Skull Full Of Kisses by Michael West. The_Undead_Review found time for a couple of books as well: Ghostly Tide by Simon Wood and Best Horror of the Year from NightShade edited by Ellen Datlow.
Is it possible that I am done? My list says so. Well, until the next task I shall bid you all a merry Christmas to all. Wait, my calendar needs the page turned. . .
