Gothic Life by Aurelio Voltaire (Book Review) – By Baron Craze

July 20, 2024
Book Reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed the book The Gothic Life it’s extremely fun to read, it does easily convey the entire lifestyle to be gothic and how to design the smallest of areas, face it, fans of this genre all dream of the Victorian mansion but when that is unavailable then just a room will do. However,…

World of the Unknown Ghosts by Christopher Maynard Book Review – By Baron Craze

August 2, 2023
Book Reviews

It might seem strange to be writing a review for a young adult’s book, entitled World of the Unknown Ghosts, however this particular work, is something very dear to my memories, now that I turned 50 this year, I recall first reading it in my elementary school library (4th grade) and enjoying it so much…

Prey for Dawn by Christopher Michael Blake Book Review – By Baron Craze

September 15, 2022
Book Reviews

I think one would easily be justified in agreeing with the statement that “War is Hell,” it has been attributed to General William Tecumseh Sherman, who represented armies for the Union side of the horrendous and bloodied Civil War, it was spoken to the graduating class of cadets at Michigan Military Academy (June 19, 1879)….

Ghost Ships By Richard Winer Book Review – By Baron Craze

April 27, 2022
Book Reviews

I’ve always found interest in reading and investigating through research, historical facts about ghostly tales, regardless of their location, houses, cemeteries, hotels, and of sailing vessels; and noting that the 12th of April, marked the 110th sad anniversary of the sinking of Titanic. Hence it brought about discovering the book Ghost Ships: True Stories of…

Touched By Evil by E.L. Jefferson Book Review – By Baron Craze

August 17, 2021
Book Reviews

This is the third book of Mr. Jefferson I have had the opportunity to review, and while he personally handed the book to me at a The New Jersey Horror Con and Film Festival, this will be a fair and unbiased review of his book. I feel what I enjoy about his books, it’s the…

The Jersey Devil by Hunter Shea Book Review – By Baron Craze

December 30, 2020
Book Reviews

I enjoy spending some nights listening to either a horror soundtrack or horror rock music and turning the actual pages of a book, yes, I am opposed to the eBooks. There’s just something about an actual book, the scent of an old one or the freshness of new book, feeling the emboss artwork and logo…

The Legacy (1979) Book Review – By Baron Craze

October 31, 2020
Book Reviews

I recall seeing the film by the same name, from director Richard Marquand, which is likely as obscure as this novel. Most times I try to read a book first before seeing the movie, but this time a movie-tie in novel (unable to locate for a long time), so every time I read the names…

The 1990s Teen Horror Cycle by Alexandra West Book Review – By Baron Craze

February 29, 2020
Book Reviews

  I honestly don’t remember much about the 90s, it was more of blur for me, in 1991 I just graduated high school and I began the next stage in life, one I later changed drastically. It was time to put away childish things, and start college, and so on, therefore this gave some insight…

Scared Stiff by Ramsey Campbell – By Baron Craze

February 29, 2020
Book Reviews

  When dealing with the topic of sex and horror the reading masses still find themselves in unchartered territory for some it’s still taboo others a fetish of extremism, as the concept of eroticism leans to pleasure while horror enters into the dimension of fear and agony. Ramsey Campbell’s Scared Stiff: Seven Tales of Seduction…

Remaking Horror by James Francis, Jr. Book Review – By Baron Craze

February 29, 2020
Book Reviews

Before I embark on this review, it needs to be stated a misconception regarding my views on remakes, I don’t dislike, I just don’t agree doing them on stellar movies or well-known ones in the industry. It’s not the retelling of Bram Stokers’ Dracula, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein or those of the Wolf Man, and others…
