Nature and Nurture of a Serial Killer
Characters are the basis of any piece of writing, whether it is fiction or non-fiction. If the characters are not believable, then the whole story falls down around them; as such writers generally draw on elements we find with real life... more

Bram Stoker – Dracula’s Guests
A collection of nine short stories and one novel guaranteed to leave a bad taste in our mouth which – fortunately - isn’t blood. I’ve not read Dracula, but after reading this anthology I’m more likely to trust Stephanie Meyer with giving me... more
Stephen King – The Dark Half
Wow, it only feels like yesterday that some poor fool gave me the chance to rant about Stephen king, and one year later... I’m still ranting about horror, classically literature and my deep hatred of all things Twilight. Although that’s not... more

Brett Easton Ellis – American Psycho
Ellis’s infamous novel concerning 1980s consumerism is especially nightmarish in atmosphere. The novel follows the life of twenty- six year old Wall Street stockbroker Patrick Bateman through the use of stream of consciousness narrative. The... more
Stephen King – The Shining
It's Shining in the Dark. Most of the time it's easy not to read a book because of the genre or its writer, and in many ways this is the cancer of literary world. It's the point where we divide the camp of literature into good and bad or classic... more
