Kickstarter campaign for Lyndon White’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula concertina book
- By Stephen Harper
A little while ago I reviewed the glorious graphic novel ‘Sparks and the Fallen Star‘ from writer/artist Lyndon White. It’s a beautiful book that not only displays White’s unique writing skills, but showcases his unbelievable artwork. Since then I’ve followed his career extremely closely, so now it thrills me to say that his next project is one that I’m a huge fan of. White has taken on the huge task of adapting Bram Stoker’s timeless novel Dracula.
Obviously Dracula has appeared in comic form hundreds of times, but White has developed his adaption quite differently in that it’s created in the shape of a concertina. Focusing more on specific key points within the novel, White has created an illustrated presentation that people can understand and follow easily.
White’s artwork is truly phenomenal and incorporates and captures the very essence of Stoker’s gothic masterpiece. Creating it as a concertina is also a stroke of genius as once fully opened you could frame it, which adds another dimension.
At present the book is finished, but White has just started a Kickstarter campaign to help fund printing. I don’t have to say that this is a must for any true horror or comics fans. I urge you to back this project and get your hands on an amazing story and an amazing piece of art by one of the best illustrators working today.

Back in 1981, An American Werewolf In London had unprepared cinema goers laughing heartily one second and jumping out of their seats in terror the next. Its tale of two young American tourists coming face-to-teeth with a legendary lycanthropic beast perfectly married a genuinely funny script with razor sharp editing, groundbreaking special effects and a flawless cast to create a monster movie that is still many people’s benchmark today

REVIEW: The Telephone
- By MovieCritic NextDoor
A deep dark woods has always been a popular setting for thriller / horror movies, but I think there's something even creepier about knowing that you're in a city, surrounded by people, and yet you're still entirely on your own when it comes to fighting the supernatural horror or serial killer that's stalking you. Of course I grew up in the woods and avoid large cities like the plague, so your mileage may vary.
REVIEW: The Triangle
- By Sooz Webb
It’s normally safe to assume that the more people in charge of a project, the easier it is for it to deteriorate into a cacophony of chaos, with egos jostling to brand their creative trademark on proceedings. Not so with The Triangle, which comes with a quintet of writer/directors attached, who work with one vision in mind, to create something dark, unnerving and totally delicious.
BOOK REVIEW: Year’s Best Hardcore Horror Volume 2
- By Dave Dubrow
The overarching theme of YEAR’S BEST HARDCORE HORROR VOLUME 2 is quantity over quality. This doesn’t make it a bad book, but many of its stories sacrifice plot for rote, graphic imagery.
