Dime Store Reads: The Predator: Hunters and Hunted
The Reapers Take Aim At A Yautja At the end of 2020, I offered up my first Dime Store Reads post. It was a brief review of the novelization of the film The Predator from 2018. I enjoyed the book well enough so I decided to head back to the same Dollar General that IContinue reading “Dime Store Reads: The Predator: Hunters and Hunted”
Classic Horror: Murders In The Rue Morgue (1932)
“Do they still burn men for heresy?” Just over a year after the release of the film that made him an icon of horror, Bela Lugosi traded in Dracula‘s cape for the wild eyebrows of Dr. Mirakle in Universal’s Murders In The Rue Morgue. Loosely based on Edgar Allan Poe’s short story of the sameContinue reading “Classic Horror: Murders In The Rue Morgue (1932)”
Dime Store Reads: Pacific Rim Uprising Official Film Novelization
Getting “Pentecost”-al! My latest discovery on the Dollar General book rack happened to be the novelization of a film that I enjoyed for the most part.

The printed version of the story was a fun read, butContinue reading “Dime Store Reads: Pacific Rim Uprising Official Film Novelization”

Fave Five From Fans Podcast
“From the creepy swamps deep in the heart of Cajun Country…” I’ve been attending conventions for over a decade now and one of the things that I enjoy most about going to them is the journey there and the ride back home. Why? Because while me and my friends are cruising down the highway toContinue reading “Fave Five From Fans Podcast”
Son Of Kong (1933)
“Boy, look at him scrap! Just like his Old Man!” With a smaller budget and a smaller ape, 1933’s Son of Kong still manages to delight. It was released just a few months after its predecessor. Returning for the sequel are King Kong stars Robert Armstrong, Frank Reicher, and Victor Wong, all reprising their rolesContinue reading “Son Of Kong (1933)”
Dime Store Reads: The Jackal’s Head
By Elizabeth Peters Welcome to the second entry in my Dime Store Reads series. I picked up this book at a local Dollar General store for three dollars. In all honesty, the rack at this particular location was lacking. It was primarily romance novels and, to be quite honest, I wasn’t too sure if TheContinue reading “Dime Store Reads: The Jackal’s Head”
