Meanwhile Back at The Lair . . .

by The Undead Rat on August 31, 2008

Recently I closed The Lair of the Undead Rat, this website’s sister site to make some much needed changes in format and content. Two weeks ago, I reopened the site again and started a new posting schedule: Mondays I look at a movie, Wednesdays are for graphic novels and on Fridays I look at a book. Saturdays are the Ohio Spotlight where we look at an Ohio author, one of his or her books or a book set in Ohio. Additional posts, such as news items, will be sprinkled in when they occur.

Here is what you might have missed at The Lair:

Monday: Steel Yourself for the Borderlands
I began a series of movie posts examining The After Dark Horrorfest 2007 movie series. I talk about the movie BorderlandBorderland, probably the most difficult to watch.

Wednesday: The Battle of Barrow Continues
I continued checking out the 30 Days of Night series with the third book in the series called Return to BarrowReturn to Barrow. This story tells what happened to the town after Stella left Barrow.

I missed the first Friday Book due to illness. Sorry about that.

Saturday: Check Out Badlands
This was the first Ohio Spotlight article about Richard Montanari’s new book Badlands: A Novel of SuspenseBadlands: A Novel of Suspense which didn’t work as well as I wanted it to.

Monday: Ian Stone Must Die
This is the second in the The After Dark Horrorfest 2007 movie series. We look at the movie I liked best from the whole series called The Deaths of Ian Stone The Deaths of Ian Stone.

Tuesday: Point A to Point B: How I Got Here Without Mapquest
Horror writer John Paul Allen wrote a gripping article about the events surrounding the writing and publication of his controversial novel Gifted TrustGifted Trust. I reprinted it here with his kind permission.

Wednesday: All the World’s an Ocean
One of my favorite stories by Warren Ellis, the science fiction graphic novel called Ocean.

Friday: This Book’ll Tear Your Soul Apart
I revisit one of my favorite Clive Barker novellas and the basis for the movie called Hellraiser, the one, the only, The Hellbound HeartThe Hellbound Heart.

Saturday: Spotlight on Badlands
I revisted the Ohio Spotlight on the Badlands: A Novel of SuspenseBadlands: A Novel of Suspense and got it right. Or at least a lot closer to right.

That’s it for this week. Let me know what you think — should I continue this kind of updating between my two websites? Inquiring rats want to know.
