Sometimes horror writers have big egos. It goes with the territory: we are entrusted with the godlike power to instill fear, to make mere mortals quake with terror, or at the very least, be too afraid to sleep without the light on. It’s a noble profession stretching back to ancient days of bedtime tales by[...]

Inside, the Javits Center was somewhat aesthetically pleasing in that express, faux-luxury-hotel kind of way. Yet, mainly it[...]
The monsters come out at Halloween. It was the time when they didn’t have to hide and the adults could see them and not realize what they were. Some kids could, while others didn’t until it was too late. They blended in, until they pounced with eggs, shaving cream and fists. I hate bullies. As[...]

Joe McKinney is the recipient of the 2011 Bram Stoker Award® for Superior Achievement in a Novel for Flesh Eaters. 1. How would you describe Flesh Eaters? Flesh Eaters is sort of difficult to characterize. It’s a zombie novel, for example, but it’s also a classic disaster tale and a crime story. I didn’t intend[...]

You’ve got to give researchers a hand — or at least a forelimb — for discovering that a gradual transition in femur size and position was apparently the main factor behind changes in dinosaur evolution that, over millions of years, led to the emergence of birds.
