THE STRAYING Promises To Be A Monster Movie Unlike Any Other

By Leave a Comment

Gregory Blair’s screenwriting is becoming known in the indie world for delivering creepy tales of horror and suspense. DEADLY REVISIONS (currently in post-production with PIX/SEE Productions) tells the tale of an amnesiac horror film writer who battles nightmarish memories. THE SISTERHOOD (currently in pre-production with Enmar Productions as “The Gateway”) pits a murderess against some increasingly suspicious nuns. Blair’s newest creation, THE STRAYING, promises not only to go down a similar dark path, but to take a few unexpected turns.

“It’s a monster movie,” Blair admits. “But it’s a monster movie unlike any other.” In THE STRAYING, two creatures with very different histories and world views are thrust together with unexpected results. “While there are elements of the standard horror film, think more in the spirit of “The Hunger” than “Predators Meets Aliens”; the bulk of the battles are more psychological, more sociological. And, as the two monsters learn from each other, I hope the audience will also learn something about prejudice, perceptions and perhaps our own humanity.”

Blair wrote the film for himself and fellow DEADLY REVISIONS actor Bill Oberst Jr (Best Actor, Shockfest 2012). Oberst, who read Blair’s script over the holidays, says he is intrigued. “One of my idols, Lon Chaney Sr., once said ‘I endeavor in each of my roles to bring humanity to those we call monsters.’ That is what I am striving for now, so the underlying idea of THE STRAYING; that everyone has the potential to be a monster and every monster has elements of humanity within them; resonated strongly with me. I liked what I read.”

Blair agrees and hopes the film touches chords across the board. “While it’s an ostensibly small story about two lost souls, I hope people will glean the echoes that speak to all prejudice, including ageism, lookism, homophobia—you name it. I think most people feel like a victim of the dark side of that at least once in their lives and so this movie is for and about them, in that way.

A Pack Of Wolves (Book Review)

By Leave a Comment

A Pack Of Wolves Book CoverBook: A Pack Of Wolves
Year: 2011
Publisher: Grand Mal Press
Author: Erik S. Brown
Language: English
Chapters: N/A
Pages: 132
Type: Novel

 

Eric S Brown Author PictureAuthor’s Summary: The “Family” kills folks for a living. They take the jobs that no one else can survive. They’re the best at bringing death, as well as defeating it. Now, one of them has gone rogue and it’s up to The Family to hunt down one of their own before he brings about the end of the world and exposes the secret existence of werewolves. It’s horror and adventure Old West Style with blazing guns, stampeding horses, flying fists, and werewolves galore.

 

Review: A very interesting wolfy-style read for real, it captivated my brain cells and kept my attention span through all 100+ pages. A Pack Of Wolves is about those dog-like beasts. A “family” lives far from civilization to avoid trouble with the mass population. But…there’s a group of mercenaries who knows about this clan and they think they’re devious which they are not for the most part. This pack tries to do the right thing.

It doesn’t help the “family” when one of them goes rogue, seeking more power for his selfish ways and control over the normal human beings. He starts to turn people into wolves to create a large army of fierce creatures to gain larger numbers. So…his wolf family is “hot on his tail” so to speak to try and stop the madness. It’s a battle in the end against good wolves vs. bad wolves, who will survive? You must read A Pack Of Wolves to find out all of the gritty details and finale that’s well worth it.

I totally loved this novel, and was wanting more from the author, Erik S. Brown. To my amazement while researching the book, I found out there is a Part 2 called “Skyfall.” I purchased it myself immediately and is on the way to me as I type. I am excited that the ending was left open and that Mr. Brown continued on with the saga.

A Pack Of Wolves is available to buy at most of the popular stores online like Amazon and Barnes & Noble in Paperback form for $10.99. There is also an E-Book version for you tablet users so you get the Electronic Edition immediately for $3.99. This is a super read horror peeps and should be bought at your earliest convenience. My ratings, suggestions and links are below.

Desert Flower (Book Review)

By Leave a Comment

Desert Flower Book CoverBook: Desert Flower
Year: 2012
Publisher: Eternal Press
Author: Tom Olbert
Language: English
Chapters: 23
Pages: 66
Type: Novella

 

Tom Olbert Author PictureAuthor’s Summary: A lost dream, a desperate hope…lost innocence, and a horror black as night. A young girl’s innocence is ripped from her when she is turned against her will into a vampire. Hunted and alone, Fleurette longs for escape from her hellish existence of eternal night, blood-letting and carnage. In war-torn Afghanistan, another young girl, Ruhee has been cast into another kind of dark bondage as a child bride. Raped, tormented and suffering, she longs for escape. These two lost souls find a strange but pure form of sisterly love together as they survive side-by-side in a world gone mad. Ruhee must grow up amid war and turmoil. As if American predator drones and the deadly raids of the Taliban were not bad enough, she must keep her “sister’s” dark secret, while merciless vampire hunters lurk in the shadows. When Ruhee comes of age and finds an unlikely but pure love with a brave but deeply troubled young Taliban soldier named Batal, Ruhee finds herself trapped between light and darkness. Her heart is torn in two, and she must make an impossible choice between love and immortality, as her young life teeters on the brink of hell.

Review: A teenage girl, Fleurette, has no one left, everyone she knows has been killed. She gets turned into a vampire and wanders around until she crosses paths with another teenage girl who desires help as the youngling is being raped and badly bitten. Onwards to lost souls, torment, brutality and the desire for blood.

Fleurette’s changing ways…she is amped to become a creature of the night who helps save other girls during a war-torn society. So many soldiers are cruel with destruction and lack of unjust humanity without a care in the world. It’s up to Fleurette to save the ravaging brutality and death of the teens in these despicable times.

The story is incredible and snagged my attention from the get-go. I should say I am a touched bias as the vampire novels are amongst my favorites. There’s a fascination with this ravaging undead that I have always gravitated to. I read this from start to finish in one sitting, and so will you, I guarantee it. It’s a scary story that makes you cringe with all of the violence, mayhem and torture which leads you continue on in hopes of a happy ending.

Desert Flower is available to buy online at many outlets in Paperback form for $10.96 (the lowest I found). Or you have the option of buying the Electronic Edition (E-Book) for your portable device like a Kindle or iPad at a price of $3.95. I have to conclude with the pricing on this book; for a novella of fewer than 70 pages, I think the price is awful steep, but…and this is a good but…this is a fantastic read and should be purchased unequivocally if you are a horror reader. My ratings, suggestions and links are below.
