Amateur Dramatics: a Short Story

He groaned, gritting his teeth and trying to cover his ears, to block out the chittering, chattering sound above him. The high trills and tap-tap-tap on the floor. Open auditions. Hehated open auditions. They drew out the worst of the worst, and subjected him to days of listening to untalented hacks try and prove they could sing and could dance and could act. Most of them couldn’t. And sometimes, those that couldn’t cried and wailed as they were ushered out of the building. Open auditions meant he had no rest whatsoever.

Jason Cavallaro Presents: My Favorite Monster Books

It's Monster Month here at Dead Head Reviews, and what better way to celebrate than spending more money on books?

I've compiled a list of my favorite monster books here, but I've skipped the ones that you've already heard of (or read already): Dracula, I am Legend, Jaws, The Rising, The Wolf's Hour, Interview with the Vampire, Frankenstein, etc..

This is in no way a comprehensive list. Hurricane Rita drowned all of my books in 2005, so it's difficult for me to even formulate a list like this without having those ten years’ worth of books to refer back to.

But women monsters? Nah, they don't need any of that because us men will walk right into their traps smiling the whole way, until it's too late.

Book Review: Butchers by Todd Sullivan

Butchers drops you into a fully developed vampiric society in South Korea. For me, it felt like there is a grander world here, but I was only getting the opportunity to experience a very small part of it. This novella represents a single story from this vast world. This was my first experience with Todd, I enjoyed his style and flare for story-telling.

Yes, I am on record stating that I am not a big fan of vampire fiction. That being said, the novella format, the quick chapters, Todd's talent, and the freshness of a story in South Korea kept me enthralled.
