New Nightmare On Elm Street trailer has hit the Web!
Like most of the recent reboots, this one looks stylistically beautiful. It’s great to see these ideas get an upgrade in production values. Whether they get the tone right or not remains to be seen. It looks like they are going for a pretty straight remake here – lots of the original Nightmare iconography, such as the glove in the tub and Tina’s above-ground assault, seem to be in place. I think Jackie Earl Haley is going to make a splendid Krueger, although he’s got some big shoes to fill. Looking forward to this one next year.
Excuse a moment of gratuitous back-patting, if you will – I just read a review of Horror Library Vol. 3 which singled out my story “Toll” as one of the reviewer’s favorites. Also, it seems my humble little tale may have stirred up some supernatural activity around the reviewer. Here’s the excerpt:
“Toll” by Blu Gilliand is probably one of my favorite stories for the book, as much for the writing as for the somewhat spooky and hilarious personal experience had while reading it aloud. The storytelling is precise and creates scenes of despair, anger, confusion, and revenge as each piece of the puzzle unfolds through the short appearances of ghostly characters. It all leads the protagonist on her own short journey to uncover the truth of her child’s suffering. An emotional and gratifying story of both compassion and revenge. On a personal note, the story itself may be haunted. Strange things happened while reading this story. Needless to say, it should not be read out loud or while around any electronic devices. (I’m only half kidding about the previous three sentences.)
