Vampyrvania is undergoing one more playtest and final rules revisions/edits before being sent off to the printer. If you like rules-light, action-focused tabletop RPGs and have a fondness for a certain 8- and 16-bit era action-horror platformer franchise, this is the game for you.

For added insight into their situation, the production crew occasionally hunker down to smoke cosmic cannabis and watch Cinéma Goblin in the basement of an abandoned castle. Raab’s account of these movies is first-rate. “This is how the spell is cast,” he says. “This is how we remake the world.”

Gothic cinema is hard to define. Certainly there’s an existing iconographic tradition that encourages haunted castles, wandering ghosts and bad weather, but there aren’t any hoary plot points to di…

FANGS OF THE LIVING DEAD aka MALENKA THE VAMPIRE is a personal favorite, and a goofy, lurid influence on my new novel, PROJECT VAMPIRE KILLER.

"The moody music in the name entry screen, followed by the explosive opening cutscene of Trevor Belmont standing up to throw his cloak back beneath a massive cross lit by flashes of lightning, is about as cool, concise, and effective a shot one might encounter in vampire cinema, let alone a video game."

Read the latest entry in BLOODSUCKING FREAKS ON BLOODY SCREENS AGLOW over on the Muzzleland Press website, where I cover the Gothic horror vampire killing masterpiece, Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse.

"The plot can be categorized as high strange horror, complete with episodes of lost time, strange phenomena in the sky, mysterious knocks and voices, and a widening gulf between scientific assumptions about the nature of reality and the inexplicable but powerful experiences of the personal."

The latest installment of Bloodsucking Freaks on Bloody Screens Aglow covers 2018's THEY REMAIN, about a corporate research team searching for...something in upstate New York. Check it out at our website (link posted in the comments below).

On Hammer horror, Peter Cushing's nuanced performance, and one of my favorite vampire films—my latest Bloodsucking Freaks on Bloody Screens Aglow article covers the atmospheric and titillating TWINS OF EVIL (1971), a foundational influence on my new novel, PROJECT VAMPIRE KILLER.

"I discovered Hammer movies in my early 30s, having heard about and seen clips of them for years, but never quite understanding the scope of their influence on horror and filmmaking in general..."

Project Vampire Killer, the new horror novel from Jonathan Raab, is now available for pre-order at Muzzleland Press dot com. Copies will ship in early June.

"New Camlough Studios is making a horror movie about bloodsucking freaks, one harkening back to the vampire classics of old. When a down-on-his-luck defense contractor accepts a position as the production’s head of security, he discovers that the on-camera terrors are nothing compared to the real thing. Something blood-hungry haunts the forest… Something the producers may have known about from the start. What follows is a hallucinogenic descent into the fog-shrouded, blood-soaked, fang-punctured world of cinema-as-sorcery, archetypal horrors, and subliminal systems of control."
