The key to great horror

July 5, 2017 by Lindzgrl 2 Comments

  Okay so, the version of this I added to my audiobook queue actually turned out to be the audio drama version, which I was not expecting. Thus there’s a chance it’s a bit different than the printed version due to the fact it was all told in dialogue. However, I will definitely say if you can get your hands on the audio drama, grab it. The voice acting was great and had some decent talent behind it (including Haley Joel Osment and Stephen King). […]

Would you believe me if I told you that I just read the strangest, most disgusting, horrifically violent, semi-apocalyptic book of all time, and that it cracked me up and I loved it?

Some People Call Him The Space Vampire

July 3, 2017 by Julie Leave a Comment

Apparently they made a movie about this called Lifeforce but I’ve never seen it.  It sounds like from reading reviews that the movie is way better than the book, so maybe you want to go watch the movie instead of reading this book? There are some astronauts who find an alien ship that is full of what looks like corpses in suspended animation, and they start trying to study them.  The bodies are humanoid but are obviously alien and seem to be dead.  But then […]
