Welcome back, dear readers! We’ve nearly made it through another week and December is (quite literally) just right around the corner. And since the holiday season is pretty much upon us, we’re back with another installment of our annual Holiday Gift Guide. For today, I’m celebrating a handful of books that I have either had the chance to check out this year and fell in love with, or several titles that I’m confident genre fans will love that I just haven’t had a chance to check out yet for myself.
To make things easier, I’ve sorted the books into two categories: non-ficton and fiction. And also, just so everything is on the up-and-up, I want to mention that I did include my own latest book in today’s edition of the Hgg just because the artists featured in this second volume of Monsters, Makeup...

Last year, Daily Dead Managing Editor Heather Wixson released Monsters, Makeup & Effects: Conversations with Cinema’s Greatest Artists, the first installment of a four-volume series from Dark Ink that shines an insightful, well-earned spotlight on the special effects artists behind some of the greatest creations to ever stalk the silver screen!
Now, with another Halloween season upon us, we're absolutely thrilled to share the news that the second volume of Monsters, Makeup & Effects will be released on October 26th!
Like its predecessor, the second volume of Monsters, Makeup & Effects features interviews with some of the most renowned and talented special effects artists in horror movie and television history, and it also includes a special tribute to the amazing John Carl Buechler.

By the late ’80s, horror was pretty much done with slashers for a while. Jason and his pals were seeing diminishing returns at the box office, and most of the splattery goods being sold delved into creatures, bugs, or the supernatural. But no one told that to the makers of The House on Tombstone Hill (1989), who decided to revive stalk and slash to dance with the undead for a super gory and entertaining flick, brought back to Blu-ray life in pristine glory by Vinegar Syndrome.
If that title sounds unfamiliar, perhaps you know the film as The Dead Come Home. No? Well, then you may have heard the title Dead Dudes in the House, bestowed by Troma, who picked it up for home video distribution, slapped on a House Party font and a group of white hip-hoppers on the cover who have nothing to do with the film. But Troma...

Horror and comic books: chances are you love one or the other of ’em — most likely both, or why in the hell would you even be reading this? Anyway, a dude that deals in both of those fine subjects all simultaneous-like just came a-waltzin’ into the Crypt o’ Xiii. Please put your claws together for Rough House Publishing’s Derek Rook!
Famous Monsters. Welcome, Derek; please kick that corpse outta the way and take a load off! Now, please tell my faithful Coffin Club all the jucy deets about Rough House Publishing!
Derek Rook. We’re living in a golden age of nostalgia and retro pop culture and at the same time in an age where modern comic book IPs have become little more than advertisements for a much larger and profitable medium… namely movies and TV shows. I had a go around with independent publishing in the early 2000s.

July 14th may not have a lot of genre-related titles arriving on DVD and Blu-ray, but the films making their home entertainment debuts this week are a rather stellar bunch nonetheless. For anyone who may have missed two of the best indie films this year in theaters—Ex Machina and It Follows—you’ll have a chance to catch up with both this coming Tuesday.
Scream Factory is also keeping busy this week with their high-def release of Philippe Mora’s cult classic, Howling II: Your Sister is a Werewolf, and they also have two double feature Blu-rays coming out as well. Severin Films has put together an extensive special edition release of the recent documentary Lost Soul, which follows the troubled production of Richard Stanley’s Island of Doctor Moreau and looks pretty incredible and for all you X-Men fans out there, the Rogue Cut version of Days...
