As she does every year, Ellen Datlow has posted the long list of honorable mentions for The Best Horror of the Year Volume 8, and I’m very proud to say that five of the stories that I published in 2015 made the cut! (That’s the most I’ve ever gotten, if I’m…

During a recent conversation with Dominique Lamssies in which I admitted that I had judged the Grudge films too harshly, she recommended that I check out Reincarnation by the same director, which was released on DVD in the States as part of that whole After Dark Horror Fest thing. So I watched…
