'“The water is as much the monster” says director Cunningham, (and it was probably quite a bit cheaper)' My thoughts on DEEPSTAR SIX which is getting a 4K release from Studio Canal next Monday: johnlprobert.blogspot.com/2026/06/deep...
"...transcends this setting to become something quite original" AFFECTION is out on digital a week today. My thoughts here: johnlprobert.blogspot.com/2026/06/affe...

"...similar to a 1970s-era Dr Who six parter where all the action happens in episode five" My thoughts on KRAKEN which is getting a digital release from @signatureuk.bsky.social next Monday: johnlprobert.blogspot.com/2026/05/krak...

Book #69 of 2026, Cthulhu Cymraeg, edited by Mark Howard Jones. Mythos stories set in Wales. I love ‘The Return of the Lloigor’ by Colin Wilson in New Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos & am looking for one as good here. One of my favorite authors @johnlprobert.bsky.social has a story, so a good start 🏴 🐙
Just read MADE FOR THE DARK by John Llewellyn Probert.
This is a fabulous collection of short stories by one of the horror masters. Creepy, macabre & often funny too.
Brilliant stuff, as always!
