Rue Morgue magazine

While at Barnes & Noble today I came across a magazine that I found very helpful in that it not only explored the entertainment and popular culture aspects of horror, but also looked at the issue internationally as well. The magazine is called Rue Morgue: Horror in Culture and Entertainment. I have added it to my new series of links on the right hand side of this blog.

Here’s a content description from the website:

“As North America’s original publication exclusively devoted to horror in culture and entertainment, RUE MORGUE Magazine features insightful editorial on everything related to the genre: news, films, videos, and DVDs, books, comic books, music, games, and the art and culture of horror worldwide.

“Only at RUE Morgue will you find articles on George Romero, Mario Bava and Takashi Miike alongside write-ups on fairy-tale terror, the art of Joe Coleman and the philosophy of Soren Kiergegaard….RUE MORGUE has also published original features on horror art in western culture, the Universal Monsters, vintage frights, and retrospectives on Santo, H. P. Lovecraft, Carnival of Souls, Dario Argento and much more.”
