I'm in the editing stage of my latest book. In The Ghost Hours is a collection of my gothic poetry focusing on death, loss, and hauntings.

A Jeffery Coombs double-bill tonight. I introduced my son to the not very good From Beyond. He then totally trashed me by introducing me to the appalling Faust, Love of the Damned. What a night!

Orson Welles is the perfect narrator for this excellent adaptation of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, which uses Gustave Doré's illustrations to great effect.

One of my favourite short ghostly films is the delightful Return to Glenescaul, featuring Orson Welles. If you haven't seen it, you are in for a treat.

I finally got to watch last December's "Ghost Story for Christmas." Definitely Mark Gatiss' best so far. I enjoyed it so much, I watched it twice.

Washing away the bad taste of The Predator with a good old-fashioned 1950s sci-fi film, The Monster that Challenged the World.

Watching The Predator. Not saying it’s garbage, but it makes Predator 2 seem like a masterpiece.

素晴らしいレビューをありがとうございます。"英国人作家が日本の怪異を描いた創作怪談短編集で、「昔の話」から「現代の話」まで全３０話。怪談"となっているが、おぞましい話から胸が締め付けられるような切ない話、ユーモラスなもの等までバラエティに富んでいて楽しい。書名を伏せて読んだらおそらく日本人作家の小説と思うぐらい日本の描写が非常に正確で自然。特に「昔の話」編は甲子夜話や諸国百物語の中の一編かと勘違いしそうになるぐらい違和感がない完成度。小泉八雲の名作「怪談」の令和版というべき作品。" -zombiegero, Instagram.

The campy trailer for The Crawling Hand does a great disservice to an excellent low-budget sci-fi film with a very good cast.

William Cameron Menzies’ 1936 Things to Come is the most gloriously epic and visually stunning of all movies.

Reallly sorry to hear that my friend Maya has passed away. She was always incredibly kind and thoughtful, funny and supportive. Here is a song of hers that she invited me to play synth on.
