The BunkerMammoth Book of Best Horror Comics

Check out the Mammoth Book of Best Horror Stories. It’s printed on good paper, has a kick-ass embossed cover, and what you’ll find inside is guaranteed to make you fall in love with horror comics all over again. If, like me, you used to sit up at night with Chamber of Chills and Tomb of Darkness; Boris Karloff Presents and smuggled copies of CREEPY and EERIE and all the rest, then you can’t go wrong.










The BunkerTHE BUNKER

Joseph M. Monks' directorial debut is now being entered in film festivals and is actively being shopped to distributors. Starring Terry M. West (Flesh For The Beast) and newcomer Saskia Gonzalez, The Bunker tells the story of Julia Jennings, a 16-year-old teenager who runs away from home on the night her father, congressman Robert Jennings (Ron Sheppard), announces his bid for reelection.
. Jewel soon discovers that she is merely trading one nightmare for another when West, a sadistic kidnapper with a taste for young victims, snatches her off the streets and locks her away in a hidden, underground cell.

With her father doing everything in his power to keep the scandal from hitting the media--including hiring some questionable private investigators to assist in the search for his daughter--Julia discovers that time is already running out. Knowing that the date of her death is rapidly approaching, the teen forms a desperate, all-or-nothing plan to escape.

Or die trying.

Joseph M. Monks shifts from horror fiction and screenplay writing to directing, taking the reins on The Bunker and proving that blindness is no bar to exploring yet another outlet for his dark horror. The director is currently in pre-production on a music video for the group Pretty on Paper, a Miami-based rock band, for the title song for an upcoming horror film he hopes to secure financing for by the fall.
