Grady Hendrix has made a name for himself within the world of fiction authors with his unique takes on traditional horror tropes, but his approach to book design has proven to be equally as distinctive. His 2014 haunted house novel, Horrorstor, was designed to look like an IKEA catalog in order to complement its setting: a haunted big box furniture store (called ORSK, ‘cuz, ya know, trademarks and stuff).     The totally killer rewind-inclined cover art for MY BEST FRIEND'S EXORCISM, coming soon to paperback from Quirk Books!     Hendrix’s latest novel, My Best Friend’s Exorcism, his foray...

There’s a new sensation sweeping across the Videovore nation, being performed in order to spice up those standard black slabs of magnetic magic and create a fully custom, often color-coordinated casing for your favorite rewindable reels… and that, my fellow Tapeheads, is something that’s colloquially called “Spool Swapping.”   It’s a practice that’s been around since the beginning of VHS repair, but over the past few years, we've seen the artistic and aesthetic persuasion of spool swaps show up in fresh VHS releases via the video vindicators at The Video Pharmacy and Forever Bogus. The online presence of this killer...
