A Race with Mortality
A RACE WITH MORTALITY by Wilson Jackson At the sound of the gun, Robert Young was off and running. The two-time Olympic gold medalist track and field star had turned professional at the age of 25. He joked with friends, saying why run for fun when you can dash for cash? His professional career so far had been very profitable—going undefeated and leaving every opponent in his dust. All except one. His current opponent looked strange, and Robert almost laughed when he saw the man at the starting line getting ready, placing his feet inside the starting blocks. He was old, and not just any kind of old, relic. Hair white as snow, face withered, body long and muscular but stringy, the man kept pace with him.

Jess woke up cold, confused, and a little nervous. Why was she sleeping in the woods? She couldn't remember why she was out here. She remembered where she was though; she had come here with her family. They owned a mountain cabin in the Sierras, and every year they would celebrate Thanksgiving with their cousins, aunts, uncles, etc.

It Started on a Train—Part One
He sat there like any other day, numb, trying to distance himself from the dull humps of flesh that were packed into the train like so many sardines stuffed in a humid stale can. He could feel contempt rising in his throat every time one of them touched him. It was nauseating to feel their bodies brush his. He absolutely despised people but this was important work.

How to Write a Good Horror Film Sequel: Discussing Mike Flanagan's 'Doctor Sleep'
When I went into the cinema to see this film, I didn't know what to expect. The Shining is one of my favourite horror flicks of all time, despite Stephen King's distaste for it, and combined with my set opinion that most horror sequels shouldn't even bother trying, I guess I didn't have high hopes. However, it's safe to say that my expectations were knocked off their pedestal as Doctor Sleep proved to be a new-found example on how to write a good horror sequel. Now, let's look into a few of my thoughts as to why that's the case.

Mercy
Friday morning, I woke up in a great mood. I had spent all day Thursday cleaning the house, running errands, and getting the kids prepared for a weekend at the lake with their uncle. My husband had set his alarm for three that morning, and left soon after for a guy's weekend of hunting and testosterone-filled fun at the cabin we co-own with a few other couples.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of the One, the Only, 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' (1974)
Let's talk about one of the greatest classics in the slasher genre. This movie set a standard that raised the bar far beyond what other slashers in the genre were ever capable. There was a level of unhinged insanity captured in this movie and the effect really deserves more credit than it ever gets.
