This week the crew watched “Temple”, a movie that about an awkward trip to potentially haunted religious sites in Japan as the unenviable third wheel. Thankfully, the pain is soothed by “May”, the story of an outcast young woman, her doll and her various (bizarre) attempts to connect with those around her while Rigby tells us all about the anime “B The Beginning”. 131 more words

OFF SEASON by Jack Ketchum
Before his death earlier this year, I had not read anything by Dallas Mayr, better known by the pseudonym Jack Ketchum. This was foolish. Ketchum (1946-2018) was a highly respected name in horror, described by Stephen King as “the scariest guy in America” and the winner of four Bram Stoker Awards and the World Horror Convention Grand Master Award. 1,198 more words
