Very few British TV series have a fanbase as dearly devoted as Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace. It was a love-letter to the horror genre, it was beautifully observed, and it was absolutely hilarious. Now, co-creator and star Matthew Holness has delivered something very different with his feature debut Possum. It’s a chilling, challenging and deeply unnerving
Recently in one interview someone asked me to quickly sum up the Sleeper series in three words. Caught off-guard I wracked my brain trying to think of three suitable descriptors. Not as easy a task as you might expect. Boiling approximately ninety thousand-ish words per book down to three is quite the challenge. I swallowed.

Rather
In Fannibal circles, Vincenzo Natali is a man who needs no introductions.

After premiering to terrified audiences at the Liverpool Playhouse, Andy Nyman and Jeremy Dyson’s horror stage play Ghost Stories was quickly ushered to the Lyric Hammersmith in London in the summer of 2010. With its popularity rapidly spreading to international theatres, it’s unsurprising that Nyman and Dyson started to receive calls from several American studios wanting to
My Dogs I love dogs. It feels like I’ve been around them all of my life. I grew up in a family with dogs around, and so did my wife, Caroline, so it’s the most natural thing in the world for us to have them as part of our family. Family has played a large

With The CW playing host to four Arrowverse series and Netflix currently owning six separate Marvel outings, there’s certainly no shortage of superhero television shows on the small screen. Fortunately, Krypton promises to be unlike the comic book adaptations you’ve seen before. Set decades before Superman’s titular home planet is infamously destroyed, it follows the
When you hear the word “fandom”, you tend to think of Marvel movies, Star Wars, Supernatural…anything that has accumulated a fanbase of passionate and dedicated viewers who have a very strong personal connection to their chosen passion.

This season on Preacher we haven’t seen much of the Saint of Killers, but episode eight left the Saint and the Angel of Death about to escort Eugene, Hitler and Featherstone to Hell, so it’s safe to say that he’s back in the centre of the carnage – much to the delight of Graham McTavish,
Everyone loves a good hypothetical. Would you do a truly awful thing if it meant saving someone’s life? In The Cabin At The End Of The World, A Head Full Of Ghosts and Disappearance At Devil’s Rock author Paul Tremblay twists a classic home invasion opening into a nightmarish and much broader scenario, all within

COULD A LOST DINOSAUR CIVILIZATION EVER HAVE EXISTED? It’s a bit of a silly idea, I know. And obviously the answer, before I’ve even started waffling, is very, very probably not. But why not? And how would we ever really know for sure? In my 147th century space opera series The Amaranthine Spectrum (getting the
Aristocrats – aren’t they the worst? Entitled and elitist; cruel and often willfully sadistic. They’re more than wealthy, more than powerful – they believe the right to rule runs in their very veins. That’s what separates them from mere Bond-style supervillains. Anyone can claw themselves up to fortune or position, but you can’t buy class.
As an author, when you attempt to write a genre crossover, you do so with some degree of trepidation. Are you about to create the literary equivalent of the Chindian takeaway, a monstrosity that dilutes two separate culinary delights? For which audience are you primarily writing, fans of genre A or genre B? Why does
