“Mixer Horror likes stories that play with the typical conventions and motifs of horror, while still using the power of the genre to scare the reader in ways that interrogate our knowledge of ourselves and the social constructions that supposedly keep us safe.

No Comments »Heinous by Jonathan Moon
May 14th, 2011 Lorna D. Keach 
I’ll admit; the first reason I wanted to read Jonathan Moon’s novel, Heinous, was because of all the cover blurbs. I’d heard about the book through various channels and I kept seeing words like “disturbing” and “mesmerizing” associated with it—along with more than one reference to one’s inner child getting brutally pummeled by the story.
