Guest post: Eddie Generous on how to make friends and influence people.
The Blog and the Kindle (a love story?) By Eddie Generous, Founder/Editor of Unnerving I’d been quietly roaming around indie horror long before I created Unnerving. Watching people get in and fit in, seeing people succeed and fail (too often flailing angrily on social media, calling out others, claiming trash, claiming discrimination),…

Book review: The Boulevard Monster – Jeremy Hepler

Book review: The Eighth – Stephanie M. Wytovich
I’ve been struggling a little with putting into words what my feelings are about this book. It’s the first time I’ve read anything by Stephanie M. Wytovich. I am well aware of her poetry work. It is much-lauded by people I respect within the genre and although I’m not a poetry reader per se I…
