Average fans of A Christmas Story likely don’t know that director Bob Clark had once made creepy horror pictures with Alan Ormsby, but this independent shock effort of the early ’70s still casts a spell of dread. Although Vietnam is never mentioned, the war’s shadow strikes deep into the heart of a small-town family. John Marley and Lynn Carlin lead a fine cast.

A country home holds hellish horrors for the Harcourt family in Peter James' new book, The House on Cold Hill. To celebrate the novel's recent release from Pan Macmillan, we've been provided with an exclusive excerpt that teases a glimpse of something supernatural... and potentially sinister.
The House on Cold Hill synopsis: "Moving to the countryside is a big undertaking for born townies Ollie and Caro Harcourt and their 12-year-old daughter, Jade. But when they view Cold Hill House—a huge, dilapidated, Georgian mansion—they are filled with excitement. Despite the financial strain of the move, Ollie has dreamed of living in the country since he was a child. Caro is less certain, and Jade is grumpy about being removed from all her friends. But within days of moving in, it becomes apparent that they aren't the house's only residents. At first a friend of Jade, talking to her...

Hugh Bonneville, better known as Downton Abbey’s Earl of Grantham, has just landed a rare leading man role in a big screen movie. Screen Daily reports that Bonneville will play detective Roy Grace in Dead Simple, an adaptation of one of Peter James‘ crime books based on the popular Brighton-based hero.
The ticking clock thriller finds Grace investigating four gruesome murders linked to a groom who has been buried alive somewhere on the eve of his wedding day. It’s the fifth book in the Grace series but one that could potentially kick-start a franchise about the quirky detective who is solving murders whilst trying to overcome the pain of losing his wife.
James has become a huge best-selling author in the UK where he is outselling Jeffrey Deaver and James Patterson right now, but he has a background in film after working as a film producer and financier...
