Introducing the Horror of it All’s ‘Creatures of the Night’ title page!

Posted by harbinger451 on December 7, 2011

The Horror of it All CategoryHarbinger451′s latest site, The Horror of it All’s ‘Creatures of the Night‘, is a bestiary of the bugbears and bogeymen that haunt our collective nightmares. It is a trawl through the dark Alternative Reality that is Horror.

This often light-hearted, though adult oriented, homage to the genre of horror and its many sub-genres and crossovers provides a glimpse in to the forbidding side of the collective unconscious that has found expression through the medium of folklore, fiction, film, games and the internet.

The title page is now online so please check it out – the sub-genres and folklore pages will be following soon.

Enter HERE all those who delight in horror, death, the macabre, the occult, black humor, weird tales, dark fantasy – and all such nefarious pleasures.
