From the snark-laden pen of Scott Telek, author of the acclaimed The Swithen series of Arthurian fiction, 33 humorous and insightful movie reviews in the horror genre. As fun to read as they are to watch—sometimes more so—Telek considers less whether a movie is “good” by mainstream standards and more whether it is interesting, thought provoking, individual and entertaining.

The tradition continues in this fourth volume, archiving 43 movie reviews in the horror genre, all beginning with the letter D. It turns out the letter D is a good one for horror, as it contains the words “Dead,” “Don’t,” “Demon” and “Dracula.” And if you were trapped on a desert island with these movies (as well as fresh water, food and a TV and DVD player!) you would actually be doing pretty well, as many fine ...

Unfortunately, this hill was once the site of a cemetery with a ghastly history. Morris, anxious to pay as little money as possible for a home with a view, heedlessly sat his house on the ...
