My Favorite Horror/Spooky Books and Stories
It’s midwinter, which means it’s time to curl up with a good book. For me, this often means curling up with something spooky or scary. While the Autumn months are my favorite in terms of coziness and spooks, there is something about the dark of Winter that makes me want some darker spooks. If you also like to be spooked in the Winter months, or if you’re just looking for something a little more thrilling, here is a list of my favorite spooky books, stories, and authors so far (have I said “spooky” enough yet?).

Reed Alexander's Literary Review of 'The Parasite from Proto-Space' by Brett Petersen
I knew I was going to like this when it started out with some random douchebag mumbling nonsense, whacked out on a cocktail of drugs. Specifically ketamine, fentanyl, and crack. For sure, that would likely kill the most hard core drug addict, but it sounds like a wild ride down a short rabbit hole.

‘Color Out of Space’ Movie Review
Director Richard Stanley’s Color Out of Space, based on H.P. Lovecraft’s short story of the same name, is the story of the Gardner family: Nathan (Nicolas Cage), his wife, Theresa (Joely Richardson), daughter Lavinia (Madeleine Arthur), older son Benny (Brendan Meyer), and younger son Jack (Julian Hilliard). Nathan moves his family out to the backwoods of Massachusetts, where they grow vegetables and raise alpacas. One night, a strange meteorite lands in their yard, exuding a strange neon aura. Over time, the energy from the meteorite begins to “infect” everything; the crops taste bitter, the alpacas get sick, strange blotches start appearing on their skin, time becomes indeterminable, and things only get worse from there.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Suspiria' (1977)
It's like a right of god damn passage for a horror critic to review this movie, and since the remake, I knew at some point I'd have to bite the bullet and get it over with. I'd seen it a long damn time ago and remembered it fondly. Though, I never did understand how Suspiria became a critics choice for seriously every fucking critic in the horror industry. Don't get me wrong, its good. Damn good. And for 1977, WAY the fuck ahead of it's time.

'The Turning' Review—Utterly Terrible
Life has many mysteries; to this day, many of us don't know the answers to questions such as who killed JFK? What's in Area 51? And most of all, who was the ninth president of the United States? Because I know for a fact that you have no idea who it was.

Blood and Bones
During the midnight hour, under the sanguine blood moon, inside the old barnyard chapel, in a small town of St. Lucian was a huge gathering of satanic worshippers, celebrating a bloody ritual sacrifice or what the townspeople of St. Lucian called a communion gathering.

LOST
On a day I find myself sitting on a swing made of oak, on a porch made of pine, by a house made of stone. Lazily swinging back and forth I stare out at the dying sun. My right hand reaches out to feel the cold stone as I swing alone in the dark green wood. Cold mist settles in, slowly creeping at my feet filling them with dread and longing. A longing for something lost.

Top Five Junji Ito Stories
Junji Ito is hailed as one of the innovators for different takes on the idea of horror. He had made several stories over the last thirty years to present the abnormal ways anyone or anything can be a threat. From grease, balloons, or a shape. He's been the one to change our viewpoint on an average item or routine. And keep our lights on at night. My list will be ten of the stories that have changed my perspective as well as what still shakes me to my core. This list will not have what I believe is the scariest to downgrade other stories he's done. It's an equal list of eerie.
