Posted in Horror Literature on August 5th, 2008 by Fatally*YoursReview by Jude Felton
I’ll admit that I was quite eager to read this novel as soon as I heard about it. I find the whole idea behind snuff movies as fascinating as they are repugnant, if of course they do exist. That really isn’t the point here though, which is whether this novel would be [...]

The novel’s main strength is its fantastical characters, who are all wonderfully unique and who the reader comes to care so much about. Not only [...]

Posted in Horror Literature on June 2nd, 2008 by Fatally*YoursReview by Fatally Yours
I’ve never been a big fan of written erotica, looking at it as too tacky, sleazy and repetitive for my tastes.
