New Hostile Poster Revealed: "My name is Juliette, and I survived the Apocalypse. You think I’m lucky? You’re wrong…
After a worldwide epidemic, most of the planet’s population is killed. Only a few thousand have survived and are struggling to find food and shelter. But they’re not alone: they have to hide from STRANGE CREATURES that go hunting at night...
Juliette, a young woman whose life has taught her to handle things on her own, is the only one in her group to have the guts to go anywhere near cities to find food. But, on her way back to the camp one afternoon, she loses control as she’s driving…
She wakes up upside down, stuck in her car with a broken leg, in the middle of the desert, and…
IT’S NIGHTTIME."
Written and directed by Mathieu Turi, and produced by Xavier Gens, Hostilestars Brittany Ashworth, Grégory Fitoussi, and Javier Botet. Slated for an early 2018 release, Hostile will be featured at the Cannes '.

I did the guitars when I did the Abominator record. We did two albums at once, actually. We were going to do a double album but there was so much material we just cut the motherfucker in half. We were actually done with all the recording during February of 2016, and we were just having a real problem getting the mix right. We mixed for 14 fucking months...I'm out of my mind, man. It's got to be perfect. It's your product and you have to make it perfect, 'cause it's forever. It's got to be great. When my favorite artist makes a record and I don't like it, I'm pissed, y'know? I don't want anyone to feel that way about us. - Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein

Gone With the Dead Short Story Anthology Details: Press Release: "New York, NY: May 11, 2017 - The innovative hybrid publisher, Riverdale Avenue Books just published Gone with the Dead edited by Lori Perkins. The new anthology includes stories based on both Atlanta, Georgia classics Gone with the Wind and The Walking Dead. The book was published for the Romantic Times convention.
The Gone with the Dead anthology includes 16 stories from multiple New York Times and USA Today best-selling writers. Each one is a unique interpretation of this concept of Southern love and death. There is profound love and extreme gore--some even in the same story, and all sorts of undead from the expected zombies to vampires and shapeshifters, ghosts, devils, and even bugs and gators.
It was no surprise that we received more than 100 short stories in a mere two-month deadline when we put the call out for contributions. Some stories were sent in the very first day this anthology was announced,” said Publisher and Editor Lori Perkins. “Of course, that meant that the range of stories was wide, as well. I expected a lot of zombie stories – and you will see your fair share of them in here – but there are many kinds of zombies. Because of the Gone withthe Wind angle, I was really looking for stories that had a Civil War flavor, and you’ll find some truly clever ways these writers have woven that in as well.”
Downloads of this book are available at RiverdaleAveBooks.com and at Amazon, Barnes & Nobles Nook, iTunes, Kobo and where digital and print books are sold.

Tamika hails from North Beach, Maryland, a tiny town inches from the Chesapeake Bay.She knew she wanted to be an actor after reciting a soliloquy by Sojourner Truth in front of her entire fifth grade class. Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.
The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
