The Fangoria Horror Business Model

Along with Stephen King and Hammer Horror, Fangoria magazine was one of the earliest influences on my obsession with Horror in all its various forms. I scored a binder filled with the first 12 issues when I was 14 and became a devout subscriber. 40+ years later, Fangoria’s transformation from a struggling print magazine into a multimedia powerhouse is a story of resilience, innovation, and strategic growth. Their journey provides valuable insights for anyone in the horror business – whether you’re running a small indie publishing house, starting a podcast, or looking to scale your horror-themed merchandise line.

Terror is a deep emotional and intellectual reaction to a threat, a profound realization that reality isn’t what we thought it was. Horror is an immediate reaction to a threat – disbelief, denial, turning away. Shock is a surprise, an ad...

Apologies for the lack of recent posts. I have been writing and have also been quite active on Medium.com lately. For those of you who are on Medium, please feel free to connect with me there via the link below. Medium has proved to be quite an interactive forum in which to share my work and has motivated me to keep writing and sharing my poems and stories. The poem below is one of my more popular pieces of writing on Medium, so I thought I'd share it with you here on my website.  Thanks for reading. Please be sure to subscribe to my website via the 'Free Books' tab above ⬆⬆⬆. Photo by Manuel Torres Garcia via Pexels.com Shall we dance into the night you & I our words but a whisper? What is it that makes this soft sadness so indeterminable so impenetrable sunk so deep into this endless night? The broken light that comes & goes between the darkness either side of dawn speaking of your memory ushering in each day one, as if a step away from you the next, a step toward...
