Re: MICHIGAN BASEMENT - by Thomas Ligotti and Brandon Trenz (Chiroptera Press)

Fantastic news!

Chiroptera continues to do the work of the Lord. Or the Tsalal. Or the Red Factory. Or the Teatro. One of those, in any case.

Re: Count Dracula - 1977 - UK

Thanks for bringing this to our attention - I did not know it existed. I see it was a BBC production/TV movie. The whole thing now lives on YouTube.

Re: The Big Screen

This is a great film. I can't remember the last time I watched it, but I remember thinking, what a triumph of a film meant for actual adult human beings! I also remember thinking that the cultural...
