The Munsonville Trilogy of Books
The small town of Munsonville has served as the heart of many of my stories. A place of dark history, full of bloody secrets, and dangerous people. It is a place of monsters, both human and otherwise. While the place has appeared many times, in many ways, the heart of this cursed small town is […]
Movie Review: “Diabolic”
"Diabolic" is a horror film exploring a woman's struggle with blackouts and her search for answers through her past with the fundamentalist Church of Latter-day Saints.

Found-Footage Movie Review: “What Happened to Dorothy Bell”
The review praises a found-footage film for its creepiness and intriguing premise centered on a woman's investigation into her grandmother's past linked to a local legend. While the film excels with low-key chills and a beautiful library setting, it falters in pacing and overstepping traditional horror boundaries. Overall, it remains a fun and compelling watch.… […]

Movie Review: “Killer Whale”
Horror fans are fun folks. Even while we’ll all love the full scope of the genre, most of us have things we are more drawn to than others. I like found-footage. Some folks like possession movies. Others like ghost movies. And some, well, some like movies where a sea creature devours people like it’s a […]

Japan’s Aokigahara Forest has become a part of modern internet legend. A beautiful forest at the edge of Mt.
