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 held in the following three books. This is the arc of a man named Tilling Diem, and his connection to the doom of Munsonville. The first two books, โRoad Killโ and โRoadKillersโ are a connected narrative about love, loss, cursed history, and revenge. The third book, โIn Roots of Ash,โ is the story of the woods and the things that live there. Tillingโs story wraps up in this book, though he is not a main character.ย

Found-Footage Movie Review: โWhat Happened to Dorothy Bellโ
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: โKiller Whaleโ
Horror fans are fun folks. Even while weโll 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 itโs a buffet.ย โKiller Whaleโ is just such a film.ย Itโs interesting when you think about it that there arenโt more killer whale movies. Thereโs the grand daddy, โOrca,โ and then, well, I am sure there are others out there somewhere, but if I canโt recall them, then do they even exist at all?

Japanโs Aokigahara Forest has become a part of modern internet legend. A beautiful forest at the edge of Mt. Fuji, it is where many people have gone to end their lives, and because of that, the area has earned a reputation as a haunted place. Far removed from the culture and reality of Japan, itโs easy to become fascinated with the ghost story aspect of the place, and the idea of a โsuicide forest,โ but the fact is that this areaโs fame has only made it more appealing to people dealing with the worst feelings in the world.ย

Despite its French origins and deliberate pacing, itโs a captivating, underappreciated classic worth exploring.

โFound Footageโ Review: โShelby Oaksโ
"Shelby Oaks" disappoints as a blend of found footage and traditional filmmaking, leading to a jarring experience.
