Scared the hell out of me
As a kid, the original Blob scared the hell out of me. You couldn't kill it! Well, jump forward to this remake & it scared the hell out of me again. This one is much more gruesome & creepy. I still like it to this day. Hell, who doesn't like to be scared once in a while?

Abandon all hope ye who enter here
A very influential book that has in ways I didn't realize has made references and framed how I think of things before I ever read the book.
It is a heavy read and as you progress down the circles of hell the descriptions get more and more gruesome. I think everyone should read this at least once.

London, the summer of 1936, and things seemed to be changing at an alarming rate - not always for the better. One of the less pleasant things happening was the discovery of two women, strangled by the murderer they called the "Tie-Pin Killer" due to his gruesome skewering of their tongues.

"I loved how this story gave you all the information you needed but was not graphic or gruesome in any way. It messes with your mind the same way as it messed with Athena."

Creepy without being tacky
Return to the psychological horror
Loved this movie, a return to the psychological horror rather than the cheap gruesome horror so often portrayed in recent horror-thriller movies. Fantastic cast and premise with enough humor to alleviate some of the stress. Personally the ending wasn't too bad but could have been explored a bit more in the film.

Horrifying glimpse into today's war
An important book for our age given the horrific situation currently in Syria. Samer's experiences are harrowing, and dehumanising, to the point it reflects how much we take the issue for granted and how much we have turned off watching the terror unfold. It's gruesome, and terrifying, but that's expected given the topic. Hats off to the author for providing this piece to the world.
