Allons-y?

Another Roundup of Random Releases

And here’s yet another Roundup of the new, soon to be released and not long since restored to circulation for your kind appraisal and delectation. More than a handful of solid reissues of note (though one may be missing a few key elements. Read on…)

Another Addenda, a Dollop of Death

Tags

And another batch of reviews ensue. With nothing but frustration on the political and social end of late (so much struggle to be quashed by a pair of breath-holding immovable children! Hope you enjoy living under the iron boot of fascism, you pair of manchurian candidates) there’s little to celebrate in this time of deep freeze.

A Decidedly Dreaded Dollop of Death Delivered for Demands of Due Diligence and Delighted Delectation

So as we forge our way through frigid (if admittedly season appropriate for once!) temperatures, what say we cover a genre devoted to the very thing extreme cold threatens to those without recourse to heated shelter and adequate foodstuffs to sustain oneself upon: death!

Do you know what horrors lie beyond these doors?

Then you go first!

Shall we?
