ABOUT ME

Mr Penfold hopes to explore and criticise as many avenues and corners that horror media has to offer: Horror Books from multiple subgenres extending from tame spooky horrors, classic slashers, comfy-comedic horrors, the frightening realms of cosmic deities in cosmological horror, all the way down to the gory underbelly of Splatterpunk.

OR

If film criticisms are you thing, then you’re in luck. Mr Penfold’s nerdy nature extends to horror books and horror films. Indie horror films from smaller creators to films on the big screen. Mr Penfold embraces the chaos that all forms of horror media have to offer and he’d like to invite you to join him.

Do you fancy reading into fleshed out criticisms, digesting the themes, gnashing through the gore and, on top of that, receive gruelling horror recommendations to get more bang for your buck? Well, I’m pleased to announce that you’ve found the right dark corner of the internet.

Welcome one. Welcome all my horror gremlins!
