Book Review: The Human Santapede

"So here it is, Merry Christmas, / Everybody's arse to face, / Shitting down each other's throats, / A yuletide disgrace." The Human Santapede.  Who even knew this was a thing?!  I was just looking through Amazon for some Christmas horror books when I stumbled across this cover, spat out my eggnog, and dropped my …

Book Review: Unmemory

Kristi DeMeester continues to grow as a new favorite author of mine with each of her works I read. I first read Beneath. Then I read the first story in Everything That's Underneath - and I am so eager to open that horror collection back up! And now I was able to read Unmemory, a …

The Tacky Christmas Sweater: Just Add Glitter

We've all seen them.  We all know someone who has worn them.  And we, ourselves, probably wore them from time to time growing up thinking they were sensible, cool, and appropriate items of fashion.  How did we not know how tacky they truly were?  I think there were instances where we did, as a lot …

Ho Ho No: Christmas Albums That Make You Choke On Your Eggnog

While the big day is fast approaching, I cannot help but immerse myself in all of the great Christmas music.  I've been to a chorus show, seen a Christmas musical, and loaded my playlist up with tons of holiday songs.  From snow globes to ornaments, even my Christmas decorations are pouring out music.  Now that …

Merry Christmas. Shitter Was Full!

I love December.  After October, it is my favorite month of the year.  The weather is typically grey and windy with chances of snow here and there.  Work life seems to slow down while everyone is on vacation.  Holiday movies evoking childhood memories flood my DVR.  The annual Doctor Who Christmas Special.  There are usually …
