He's the editor of Ginger Nuts of Horror, Europe's largest independent horror review and culture site, and a British Fantasy Award nominee for his work in the genre. When he's not busy inflicting his opinions on the horror community, he can be found annoying his family or getting thoroughly outwitted by his two dogs, Casper and Molly.

With Blood Upon His Teeth by Adam McOmber Review: The House That Hunger Built

Adam McOmber sends a disgraced Manchester tutor to a shifting Cornish manor in this queer vampire novel, and the result is a tender, frightening gothic. Our review weighs the vampire romance, the haunted house and the red maze of the final act. A Lethe Press horror release that earns four and a half stars.

The Nice Ones (2026) Review: When Kindness Becomes the Invasion

The Nice Ones (2026) Review: When Kindness Becomes the Invasion

Peter Stylianou’s The Nice Ones turns the body snatcher story warm, as a weekend in the country goes wrong when everyone but Kate becomes unnervingly kind. This review of the psychological sci-fi horror finds a clever British indie film with a terrific Joelle Rae, held back only by an ending that stops too soon.

A Cold Season Review: Blood on the Snow and a Santa in Shades

Christian Jude Grillo’s A Cold Season puts a lonely man in a snowbound Pennsylvania town and a Santa in sunglasses inside his head. This Christmas psychological horror from Intruder Films leans on Andrew Hunsicker’s quiet lead and a real winter, even if the world around him stays thin.
