The Ring meets Empire Records in THE NASTY, a
coming-of-age horror story splattered with dark comedy, as a group of horror
movie-loving teens bites off more than they can handle when the most
sought-after video nasty ever slips through their fingers, and they are forced
to film their own video nasty slasher movie – where evil,
screams, and nightmares bleed into reality

Keep telling yourself: “IT’S ONLY A MOVIE!!!
Isn’t it?

Scotland, 1994.
Eighteen-year-old Graeme “Thumper” Connell still has an imaginary friend: the
masked killer from his favorite slasher film. Thumper is obsessed with horror
and always has been. He fills his time with scary VHS rentals and hanging out
with his friends and fellow fans, The Murder Club. But everything changes when
his local video shop acquires one of the notorious films known as “video
nasties” — films so scary they’re the target of the British Moral Decency
League’s crusade to ban and burn.
But it’s only a movie, right?
It’s all just imaginary, isn’t it?

The Nasty is a story about the perception of evil, the power
of genre, the love of fandom, the need to create art, oh, and crap-your-pants

PRAISE FOR THE NASTY:
Horror Comics To Watch For in 2023 – Fangoria

“There is no other title I have been more excited about than this because it is
a love letter to horror while tackling the conservatism we are seeing rise in
pop culture today…” – Fangoria

“The Nasty is a bloody valentine to slashers and the outsiders who
love them.”– AIPT

The Nasty is a love letter to slasher flicks and a
generation of kids who loved them. Tender, funny, surprising, endearing, with
an emerging horrific twist. We had Faces of Death as the taboo
underground horror tape that was whispered about but it wasn’t cursed. The
Nasty
 takes a fun nostalgic trip down memory lane and elevates it to a
new level of horror. – Lotusland Comics

 

MY REVIEW

I’ve been into the graphic novels for a while now and this is a fun one. Creepy story. Check. Interesting characters. Check. Plenty of horror and some comedy thrown in. Check. And awesome artwork. Check.

The plot was right up my alley. Being big on horror, it would have been a dream come true to make one of my own. But, I have to be satisfied with reading about these characters and the making of their horror movie.

A wild read from start to finish. My first by John Lees and Adam Cahoon and it didn’t disappoint.

Catch A Cowboy

by Rachelle Paige Campbell

.

 

Genre: Sweet Contemporary Western Romance

Synopsis

Kincaid Ranch’s lead cowboy, Ted Stirling, isn’t looking for romance or entanglements. He settled in Herd, Montana over a decade ago after a devastating loss. He’s seeking comfort and friendship. Nothing more. If he was going to try for love again, he would pick someone sweet and sunny, exactly like kindergarten teacher, Stephanie Patricks. But she’s too young for him.

Stephanie has nursed a crush on quiet, handsome Ted for years. Unfortunately, every time she’s around him, she gets tongue-tied. She only seems to be able to find her words when she’s working with her students. When Ted’s sister unexpectedly arrives in town with his five-year-old niece in tow, he needs help, and Stephanie is just the woman to provide it.

A sudden emergency puts into sharp focus exactly how fragile life is, and Ted needs to decide whether to open his heart again, or let love slip away forever.

~~~~~

Enjoy this peek inside:

Ted didn’t land on the ground with his usual grace. His jeans snagged on the top rail and his back foot caught. His palms scrapped against the rail. He fell in a heap on the ground.

Tires squealed as the car stopped on the shoulder.

“Ted? Are you okay?” Stephanie shouted.

He winced and sat up, easing his legs out in front of him. Testing his muscles, he’d ache in the morning but hadn’t twisted his major leg joints. He waved a hand. “Yeah, I’m fine.”

“No, you’re bleeding. Hold on,” she called.

He sucked in a breath and flipped over his palms. She was right. He’d torn through the top layer of skin and bled in several sections. The wounds didn’t look deep enough for stitches but he’d have to keep bandages on and use his work gloves for a few days. He should have worn the gloves before he’d hopped the fence, but he’d been so sure of his abilities his ego led to his fall.

“May I see?” Stephanie asked in a soft voice.

He met her concerned gaze and swallowed the lump in his throat. With her knees pressing into the ground, she was close. Almost as near as last night when she’d kissed him.

His cheek burned from the memory of the tender press of her lips. Would she kiss his palms? He didn’t think that would make him all better but he wasn’t about to stop her from trying.

“May I?” she asked again.
