    I recently finished his next novel, My Best Friend’s Exorcism, and it was a pile of nostalgic fun. I never did get around to reading Grady Hendrix’s other book, Horrorstor, and now I regret that a lot. 80s nostalgia is the ‘in thing’ at the moment, especially in horror. It has been going for a…

    Yep, another graphic novel. Now, I’m not a huge comic fan. I’ve never been into super hero comics, but there are a few titles that I absolutely love, and the Black Hammer series is one of them. Doctor Star is a story set in the same universe.I was a little disappointed that the story was…

    If you are looking for comic series that is different from everything else out there, then look no further. Black Hammer is a title worth reading. I think this series and possible spin offs could be Dark Horse’s new feature title, after Hellboy.Jeff Lemire has created characters that are reminiscent of other super hero comic…
