‘Shock Induction’ – Meta Mind Control Manifesto Is Chuck Palahniuk’s Strongest Work in Years [Review]

Daniel Kurland Books, Chuck Palahniuk, Novels, Palahniuk, Reviews, Shock Induction

Chuck Palahniuk’s latest novel is an experimental and subversive coming of age satire that skewers an increasingly commodified society through hallucinogenic hubris. “Clarity is paramount. Even when the goal is to create confusion.” Chuck Palahniuk is one of this generation’s most explosive and subversive storytellers, but there have been increasingly diminishing returns for his more […]

Brian Keiper Ariel Powers-Shaub, Books, Millennial Nasties, Reviews

Most horror movies don’t even receive one novelization, yet Friday the 13th Part III somehow ended up with two. In fact, the second sequel in this beloved franchise was the first to be novelized; the original 1980 movie and its immediate follow-up were not adapted until ‘87 and ‘88, respectively. Meanwhile, Michael Avallone’s divisive take […]

Paul Lê Books, Bruce Greenwood, David Nutter, Disturbing Behavior, Editorials, James Marsden, Katharine Isabelle, Katie Holmes, Movies, Nick Stahl, Scott Rosenberg, Tie-In Terrors

While Scream set off a new slasher cycle in the late 1990s, MGM delivered something different with Disturbing Behavior. A fitting choice considering the film’s themes. Ultimately, though, this ‘98 teen chiller landed a bit more in the science-fiction bin than straight, undiluted horror; one by one, a town’s troubled youths endure sinister, personality-warping makeovers […]
