Dark Horror Tales

The trailer for LONGLEGS has finally dropped. Is it going to be the scariest movie you will watch this year? Probably.  For the past few months NEON has been teasing horror fans with snippets from the movie put together in small clips without even giving away the title of the movie. 

In 1992, Stephen King’s DOLORES CLAIBORNE was published. Unlike his other novels, Dolores Claiborne is quintessentially a narrative. The title character, Dolores Claiborne, of course, is a 65-year-old widow living in Little Tall Island.  You will find the novel, even after more than thirty years, is still in the bestsellers list despite it being an unusual reading experience.  Dolores Claiborne has no chapters or section breaks. It is simply a narration of the titular character as she talks about all that transpired in the 1960s.  Even though she is presently accused of murdering her wealthy yet elderly employer Vera Donovan, Dolores shocks the investigators with an admission of another murder.  The novel has been much-loved by horror fans all around the globe. It was even adapted into a movie in 1995 that starred Kathy Bates in the title role.  Fans of Stephen King’s other novels will also find a link to his other novel Gerald’s Game.  QUICK BOOK REVIEW OF DOLORES CLAIBORNE The story
