The "King of Horror," Stephen King (pun intended). Without a question. The Master of Screams has written over 60 novels, including Cujo, It, Misery, and Pet Semetary, since releasing his debut book Carrie in 1974. He has established himself as one of the greatest writers in history. What more could a horror fan want than... Continue Reading →
I'm not just about the books. I love a good movie. Movies speak to the ADD part of my brain that needs instant gratification. Plus, if you didn't know, a long time ago in a galaxy far far away I worked at a video rental store. No. It was not Blockbuster. It was literally a... Continue Reading →

It was glorious and I miss it.
