Horror Books by Mike Bracken, aka The Horror Geek

Welcome to the bookshelf of Mike Bracken, better known as The Horror Geek—author, horror film critic, and host of the popular YouTube shows Sick Flicks and Grindhouse Gospel.

From blood-soaked horror movie criticism to supernatural crime fiction set in the bowels of Hell, Mike’s books are made for horror fans who like their entertainment smart, funny, dark, and occasionally covered in arterial spray.

Horror Fiction, Cult Cinema & Seriously Sick Flicks

Looking for your next horror read? You’re in the right place.

Dive into Sympathy for the Devil, Mike Bracken’s supernatural crime novel about a damned homicide cop tasked by Satan with solving an impossible murder in Hell—a place where no one can actually die. Five-time Bram Stoker Award winner Stephen Graham Jones described it as Sandman Slim meets Hellboy with a Shane Black twist.

Or get gloriously bloody with Sick Flicks: Volume 1, a guided tour through 50 unforgettable splatter films from around the world. From genre-defining classics to movies that will test even a veteran gorehound’s stomach, Mike brings the wit, insight, film knowledge, and warped sense of humor fans know from the Sick Flicks YouTube series.

Whether you came looking for horror fiction, horror movie books, splatter film criticism, cult cinema, supernatural crime, or the official books of The Horror Geek, you’ll find them here.

And this shelf is just getting started.
