Weird Horror and Other B-Grade Tales (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The B designation in entertainment usually comes with a less-than-positive connotation. B-grade movies are typically low-budget affairs with poor acting and cheesy plots; the B-side of a record was always an album cut used as filler to back the A-side hit single. The B stuff is the stuff that doesn't quite make the grade.

But that isn't always the case. Some B movies, after a late-night viewing and a bucket of popcorn, turn out to be pretty cool cult classics; sometimes the B-side of a record becomes a bigger hit than the intended single.
You'll find stories here that are weird. Some are cheesy, some are funny, and some are both. Some of the stories are so bad they're good.

The B stuff is the stuff that doesn't quite make the grade.

That isn't always the case, though. Some B movies, after late-night viewing with a bucket of popcorn, turn out to be pretty cool cult classics; sometimes the B-side of a record becomes a bigger hit than the intended single.

Some of the stories here are cheesy, some are funny, and some are a little of both. Some of the stories are so bad they're good. Stories featuring a killer spud, ghosts, things that slither underground, a thing that creeps through the woods, another that lives in the basement, a disturbed environmental activist, a government bent on moral control, a slasher, supernatural romance, and an out-of-whack elevator are some of the situations you'll encounter should you decide to take a walk on the B-side.

Grab your popcorn or flip your .45 to the b side and enjoy the ride.
