The Shocking Truth TV Series
I just discovered this series on REELZ (via cable, DirectTV channel 238). And I immediately binged on it.
According to IMDB: The Shocking Truth is a compelling documentary series that digs deep into notorious real-life murders and paranormal events and explores how Hollywood turned them into its most memorable thrillers.
Such pairings of murderers to movies include H. H. Holmes and "Saw", the Gainesville Ripper and "Scream", Ted Bundy and "The Silence of the Lambs", and Ed Gein and "Psycho". These are only a few. There are two seasons' worth in all.
If you haven't seen any of these, I highly recommend that you do. They're graphic yet interesting. And, shockingly enough, very entertaining.

New Release! CODE 30 by Gail Smith
CODE 30
A novella of paranormal horror
by Gail Smith (Linda Mooney w/a)
Red Rose Publishing
Word Count: 33.3K
Hi. My name is Alexis Hembree, and I’m a cop. My partner and I are good at our jobs, except we don’t tend to work what others would call a “normal” beat. For some reason we draw evil to us like flies to sugar.
Sometimes there are things in this world we can’t explain or anticipate. But when they cross that line between their existence and ours, when they show up, we have to deal with them as best we can.
Some cops fight criminals. We fight something that never should have existed.
303 Lexington St.
It was a crack house. Except, in this case, drug dealers went in but they didn’t come out. Not alive, anyway, but in body bags. What’s more, if everyone who went inside ended up being shredded to death, who was doing the killing?
Georgie Porgie
The killer targeted women. Young, old, prostitutes, business women, it didn’t matter. One moment they would be walking down the sidewalk in the middle of town, and the next what was left of their bodies would be found in a nearby alleyway. Devoured. That’s why I had to be the next one to walk the streets. To draw out whoever was doing this. To be his next victim.
The Goodbye
He murdered young girls by crucifying them with ice picks. He was slick, elusive, and heading for our city. My partner and I were damned and determined this murderer would get no further. Unfortunately I couldn’t keep my head on the job. Neither could I ignore the weird-ass dreams I was having about this deviate. This case was becoming more personal, more foreboding, and more dangerous with each passing day. And there was no damn way I could avoid what I dreamed would be the final outcome.

Monday Movie Review - NINE DEAD
This movie has a great premise: a masked killer kidnaps nine seemingly random victims and chains them in a room. He gives them ten minutes to find out what they all have in common. If they don't, he'll kill one of them. At first they don't believe him, until he fulfills his promise and takes his first victim.
As the clock keeps ticking away, and the victims are slaughtered one at a time, the survivors try to find the answer the killer is seeking.
The cast is good. The tension is there. The kills aren't spectacularly bloody, but the who-done-it keeps you glued... until the ending. The big, sucky ending that doesn't satisfy, and in my honest opinion, felt overly contrived.
My recommendation?
