Horror Stories
We’ve launched a new project at Horror Stories this week. It’s a guide to where to find short stories in the horror genre online. The site lists 13 other websites which link to or allow you to read online versions of horror short stories. Some of the sites feature public domain classics from authors like Ambrose Bierce and H.P. Lovecraft, while others on the list are online fiction magazines with free horror stories you can read. I thought it would be a fun little project to launch, and I’m really proud of my friend John Clifton for researching those resources and making the site happen.
In addition to that site, Mr. Clifton has also done some work on another new microsite of ours, Stephen King Movies. This is only a one page site right now, but as far as we know, it’s pretty close to a complete list of all of the movies and tv shows that have been based on the works of Stephen King. This new site is the kind of site we could probably expand on indefinitely, but we’re going to see how well it does as a really highly-focused, narrow content, one page website first before expanding on the content. Mr. Clifton does include his opinions on some of the best and some of the worst Stephen King movies, and I tend to agree with him on those too, thinking that Kubrick’s version of The Shining is one of the most effective horror movies ever made.
And if you’re looking to buy some horror stories to read, or if you’re interested in Stephen King’s new novel, Under the Dome, then we can help you out there at the store. Just come on by. We’ve been matching the Wal-mart $9 price as an unadvertised special there in the store, and the book has been flying off the shelves. I’ve already finished it, and I think it’s possibly one of Stephen King’s best novels ever.
I also recently finished reading The Rising by Brian Keene. It’s a brutal experience, one of the goriest and most disgusting books I’ve ever read. I loved it. If you like gruesome horror, then this is a book that will not disappoint you.
