Looks cool don’t it? Of Dread, Decay & Doom is shaping up to be a great horror anthology. As always with a Stars & Sabers anthology, it’ll be a kick-ass lineup of writers with some names you may know and new names to learn. My own contribution is, I believe, the best horror tale I’m […]

What I’m Watching: I Saw The TV Glow

I SAW THE TV GLOW is such a unique and powerful movie. Unique in its visuals and storytelling, powerful in its metaphor (which never hits you round the head).

What I’m Watching: In The Earth (2021)

I watched In The Earth (2021 Dir. Ben Wheatley)last night, a film entirely written rehearsed and filmed during the lockdown. It’s genre brilliance lies in simultaneously being a folk-horror and a science fiction, so it was right up my street (Some of you more venerable UK Salonites may recall The Stone Tapes and Children Of […]

Ever gracious, Erika agreed to answer some of my questions… JLW: Your Disorder series is described as ‘dark and surreal short horror comics created as art therapy’. Does horror […]
