Horror Obsessive reviews MELON HEAD MAYHEM

Horror Obsessive reviews Melon Head Mayhem

Horror Obsessive recently reviewed Alex Ebenstein‘s Melon Head Mayhem, the first title in our new Killer VHS Series.

The review not only praises Melon Head Mayhem and Alex’s work there, but also the potential for the series as a whole, saying:

“A really fun and entertaining book… Ebenstein weaves a hectically bloody tale oozing with film grain and cheap practical effects… this collection is going to be hailed as the modern day Goosebumps for adults.”

Melon Head Mayhem will be followed up this November with the second book in the Killer VHS Series, Candy Cain Kills by Brain McAuley.
