I recently got my hands on a copy of Poppy Z. Brite’s “The Seed of Lost Souls” (hell yeah!), and at the end of the little booklet, she provides an old interview that originally appeared in an issue of a magazine. In response to one of the questions, she mentioned that one of the reasons she dropped ...

When I first started reading horror novels, admittedly late in life, I’d become quite the fan of Stephen King. As far as I knew at that time, King was the penultimate writer of the horror genre. Now, I’m not looking to provoke a debate over who the world’s finest horror author is,... [Click on the t ...
