John Dies at the End: A Cocktail of Existential Horror and Dick Jokes

29/7/2015
john dies at the end original book cover Picture
Original book cover
There’s something about surfing the internet when you’re a newly single twenty something drunk on cheap lager and having exhausted your own (astronomical) capacity for free porn. Browsing through the infinite digital maelstrom of bullshit and wonder, searching for something indefinable, finding mostly cats. This was back when the internet was the real internet, before it was tamed by facebook and twitter and whatever people use instead of those things now. This was back when internet culture wasn’t just… you know… culture.

That’s when I found John Dies at the End. A horror comedy novel by noted humour writer David Wong, pseudonym of Jason Pargin, the man who would go on to be editor at cracked.com.

HORROR Picture


Beasts have always provided fantastic source material for horror filmmakers across the ages, whether from the mythical world or the natural. To celebrate the release of Into the Grizzly Maze (on digital platforms from August 3rd and DVD from August 17th, 2015, courtesy of Signature Entertainment) we take a look back at some the biggest, baddest beasts on film...

EDGE-LIT 4: A VIEW FROM THE QUAD BY  KIT POWER & PAUL M. FEENEY

edge lit 4 Picture

And so the British summer comes around again and leaves just as quickly, and that means it's time for the fastest growing speculative fiction convention, Edge-Lit. Masterminded by author, publisher and regular Ginger Nuts enfant terrible Alex Davis, Edge-Lit takes place in Derby and is fast becoming the event to attend, both for its relaxed informal atmosphere and the array of diverse and interesting panels, workshops and dealer tables. 2015 saw such giants of the genre as John Connolly, Sarah Pinborough, Mike Carey and Joanne Harris amongst others attend and, at this rate, we may well see someone like Stephen King pop along one year. Hey, who knows...? Anyhoo, Ginger Nuts sent two of its most intrepid and eager - and, in one case, not the most social - of its contributors to see what this year was offering...

LOVING YOUR SCARS- ON BEING AN R.L. STINE GOOSEBUMPS KID

10/7/2015
GOOSEBUMPS THE MOVIE Picture
I’m both an author and an adult. Due to these factors, I often find myself asked to list the books that made me the man I am today. Because, yes, even for those who don’t write professionally, certain reads can shape us into who we grow up to be. There are Lee readers who became the Atticus’ and Scouts of the real world; just as there will be a generation of Rowling devotees who’ll grow into strong, resourceful Hermiones constantly saving our asses. The weight of literary influence is a beautiful thing, and it’s important to accept the scars such influences leave behind. Scars that stay with you for life. That’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Let’s begin at the beginning.......

THE BOOM BOOM GIRLS OF WRESTLING

7/7/2015
Picture
The Boom Boom Girls of Wrestling was made by two (female) German filmmakers using a budget of $5K and a lot of heart.

Los Angeles- June 30,2015—Using creative budgeting, various cost-cutting techniques, volunteers, and a lot of blood, sweat, and tears German filmmakers Carolin Von Petzholdt and Ursel Walldorf was able to bring their film vision to life and is now raising money for distribution on Kickstarter. Independent film making on small budgets is not unusual.  Sundance Film Festival routinely shows films that are made for well under $100,000 USD.  What makes this particular film remarkable by any standards is that it was done for only $5k, something not even Kevin Smith's original Indie powerhouse “Clerks” was able to do in the 1990s.  The Boom Boom Girls of Wrestling was released by Exciting Films Production and not only represents what can be accomplished with initiative and innovation, but also a unique spectacle of “sports horror” that is sure to appeal to audiences looking for something better than a franchise reboot.

AMERICA LOVES A GOOD APOCALYPSE BY JAY WILBURN

2/7/2015

I can not believe I am writing a guest post for Ginger Nuts of Horror. I love this site. This is not a good way to start a post for a site that has such great content as this one. I need to be more professional and hold myself together. Time to write like a pro.

Promoting a zombie novel series on Ginger Nuts of Horror? That is going to be a tough sell. People have heard a lot about zombies. I really should have come in with something more literary, if I knew I’d be explaining myself on this site. Well, it’s too late to change the whole novel now just for this guest post. I have to trudge ahead. Time to oversell my work like a champ. That’s what we do in America. We take everything to apocalyptic proportions. Time to let my America show!
