Macabre in the Blogosphere

A QuickList of some good horror-related blogs...

1.Horror Movie a Day!: as the title suggests, this blogger watches/reviews a horror movie (old and new, good and bad) every single day.  The ghoulish equivalent of Julie & Julia.

2.American Frankenstein: Norman Partridge's blog offers more than just the latest info about the author's own writing.  Partridge's love of Monster Culture is evident in the various pics, reviews, and mini-essays he posts.

3.Horror Reanimated: a blog from across the pond, this one is worth checking out for its guest-authored "The Book I Would Like to Be Buried With..." feature.

4.Antibacterial Pope: writer Nick Cato has a knack for posting horror movie reviews that are at once informative and witty.

5.The Vault of Horror: a top-notch horror blog brimming with enjoyable material.  Fans of countdown-type lists will love the offerings here (e.g. "25 Most Awful Horror Movies of the Decade").

6.Domination of Black: Laird Barron tends to be very succinct in his posts, but this leading author of weird fiction does a great job of calling attention to the work of talented newcomers in the field.

7.Critical Mass: Not a blog per se but rather a continuously-updated website.  You'll be amazed at the amount of genre reading that writer Don D'Ammassa has done (and still found the time to post short reviews of all those books).
