The ‘zine is upon us! All hail the Insidious Reflections eZine! Bow down and kiss your own ass goodbye. It’s time to delve into the strange, the fantastic, and the morbid. In this issue you’ll find a multitude of differing styles with a nice blend of the horrific and the darkly hysterical.
An Interview with the one and only Brian Keene. Yes! Brian Keene. His thoughts on his strange fans, his stories, and his upcoming projects.
In “That Which Lingers” you’ll find a story about the guilt born of woman. When you abort your child, does it linger in your subconscious making you crack from guilt, or can something more sinister spawn from Hades to punish you? A wicked story by the talented Brian Keene.
“Secrets Told In a Carolina Motel Room” is told in the Cthulhu mythos. It knows more than you can imagine, and it’s got something to say. Fhtagn!
In “Nobody Loves Me” you’ll read about revenge. Can something you did during your childhood come back to haunt you as an adult? Brian Knight thinks so.
An Interview With James Newman. Hear his likes about horror’s Scream Queens, about the catalyst for his book “Midnight Rain”, and how he feels about Hollywood and the barrage of remakes spewed on us in the recent years.
Sally Struthers eat your heart out! “suffer the children” from the gifted up-and-comer James Newman, is a perverse tale about a husband that sends out donations to help the suffering in the third world, only to gain a disturbing craving from the photos of those little girls.
At the heart of “Grindyma” is the legend of a giant lobster-like creature that lives in the waters off the coast of a fishing and lobstering town, and the local kids that keep the story alive. Is Grindyma really just a legend, or is it something lurking in the dark, foamy waters of the sea?
From the mind of C. N. Pitts comes “Do No Good", a darkly comedic tale about the horrors of health insurance. Part science fiction, part horror, and all too hilariously disturbing.
“With These Hands” is, in a sense, a modern version of the classic Poe tale, “The Tell-Tale Heart”, only this time it’s murder centered around the modeling industry.
In “Ramon’s Afternoon” you’ll find a young man dedicated in the most horrific of fashions to his younger sister. He’ll do anything to help her get a job. Anything…
In homage to Edgar Allen Poe’s birthday this January, we added a special poem entitled “The Raven Revisited” to honor his life’s work and the many wonderful authors that he inspired over the years.
We’ve included an interesting article written by our very own Tom Moran about the difference in horror from yesteryear to today’s often cliché-ridden bore-fests. Will this generation ever get to see a new “classic” like the many from the 70’s and 80’s, or did they miss the boat? Moran ponders this conundrum in “A ‘Classic’ Conundrum For Horror.”
Book reviews of Bryan Smith’s “House of Blood” and Andre Duza’s “Dead Bitch Army”. As well as film reviews of “Hide and Seek,” “Birth,” and “White Noise.”<br>
