On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds a 93% “Tomatometer” score, reflecting broad acclaim for its atmosphere, acting, and the way it blends horror-mystery tropes.

“Written from the point of view of one character and then another scene from the another character. Now, we would never shift point of view within a scene, but each scene, each segment of the book is from a different point of view.” - Lawrence ConnollyIn this How To Write the Future episode, “Building Character-Driven Action Adventure Stories with Lawrence Connolly,” podcast host Beth Barany interviews author Lawrence Connolly, where they explore his upcoming exciting projects, including a feature film with his brother and his new novel. They also dive into using deep POV to create characters that are emotionally compelling to draw a reader into the author's world and share advice for writers working on film adaptations.ABOUT LAWRENCE C. CONNOLLYLawrence C. Connolly's books include the collections This Way to Egress, whose titular tale of psychological horror was adapted for the Mick Garris film Nightmare Cinema; and the Bram-Stoker-nominated Voices, which features Connolly's best stories from The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Twilight Zone, Year's Best Horror, and other top magazines and anthologies of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. A third collection, Visions, was praised by Publishers Weekly for featuring an eclectic mix of “entertaining and satisfying” SF. His novels include the eco-thrillers Veins, Vipers, and Vortex. World Fantasy Award winner T. E. D. Klein called Veins “a crime thriller as intense and fast-moving as a Tarantino movie.” This fall, Caezik Science Fiction will release his new novel Minute-Men: Execute & Run, a globetrotting adventure that combines elements of military science fiction, gaming, and medical suspense in a thrilling reinvention of the superhero genre. He is collaborating with brother Christopher Connolly and Academy Award-winning producer Jonathan Sanger to develop a feature film based on Execute & Run. He is also the writer of Mystery Theatre, a podcast produced by Prime Stage Theatre, who premiered his adaptation of Frankenstein in 2022. His newset commission, a play based on the life and works of Edgar Allan Poe, opens in November 2025 at Pittsburgh's New Hazelett Theatre.More at MinuteMenNovel.com.

Horror goes pretty hand-in-hand with metal, especially because a lot of musicians incorporate horror imagery and references into their sound and aesthetic. Slipknot, Rob Zombie and Ice Nine Kills are just a few examples of artists who are often associated with the horror genre — Corey Taylor and Zombie have literally worked on films themselves and INK base their music on different horror films.” (Loudwire)
Send us a text In this haunting episode, Yajaira and Cheli dive into The Possession of Alba Díaz, a lush, gothic horror novel set in 1765 Mexico that blends demonic possession, forbidden desire, and historical tension. When plague devastates the city of Zacatecas, Alba flees with her family and fiancé to a secluded silver mine—but what should have been a safe haven becomes a living nightmare. As the darkness beneath the mine stirs, Alba begins to suffer from terrifying visions, violent convulsions, and a creeping sense that something ancient and malevolent is clawing its way into her soul.
