It is with this final post at Beavisthebookhead.com that I wish to thank everybody for their unwavering support, but I have now reached…

Magazine review: Unnerving Magazine #5
Unnerving issue #5 gets off to an immense start with Glug Glug by Aaron J. Householder and the sinister Red Room by Christa Carmen. Whilst only short, Householder’s tale is a fun, throwback style horror story that put a huge smile on my face and one that I felt was a little reminiscent of…
The Grim Reader awards: My books of 2017
I love a good list, especially one that highlights some of the years best books. Many bloggers do this and I’m always interested to see what books they include. My list features books I read this year, not necessarily books published this year. I’m not going to waffle too much here, instead I’ll get straight…
Essential reading, viewing and listening for Halloween
As a horror and dark fiction fan, Halloween is a very special time of year. There is something about the month of October that fills me with joy, and although this month has been a pretty shitty one for me and my family, I am still here to present you with a selection of fiction…

Spiders, art and horror – an interview with Betty Rocksteady
I hope to bring you at least one interview a month in 2017. I love talking to people about their art and I feel like these people deserve a much bigger audience, so let’s see how we go. Last week I spoke with UNNERVING MAGAZINE and today I’m chatting with Betty Rocksteady. Betty is a…
EP Review: Cunning Man -‘Practical Applications Of Theurgy’
‘Cunning Man’ is metal, though not as we know it. A one-man band, hailing from Scotland, ‘Cunning Man’ mixes up a number of different sub-genres of metal to produce something that although won’t be for everybody, certainly kept me engaged through the three tracks on offer with this EP. Of the three songs, ‘Honorius &…
