“Rick Hipson is that rare talent who conducts his interviews with sheer professionalism. His questions are penetrating, original, and sometimes surprising. His reviews reveal a person who clearly cares about his duty to write with clarity, perceptivity, and a deep understanding of his subject’s place in genre history. His ability to recognize such subtleties as style and influences marks him as more than a cut above the usual reviewer.”
- Thomas F. Monteleone, 5-time winner of the Bram Stoker Award

Dark Bites is a book full of reviews and interviews, swimming in the horror culture. If you’d like to discover a new movie, book, or find out the thoughts and secrets behind them, this is for you.
Full disclosure: I’m in it. Twice. And I’m the least interesting person in there. LOL!
Rick has a way of asking questions that dig deeper than other interviewers. He does his homework, he looks into past projects and makes sure you find out what’s coming next. This is a collection of reviews and interviews that have appeared in other locations such as the Dark Bites website and others, but you will also find some new work in here as well.
Personally, after reading one of the reviews, I went to find the short film right away. Rick is honest, and I know immediately if that work he’s talking about is “for me” or not. My only drawback is that it's not something I can read cover to cover, I need to take breaks and digest, or else I get them mixed up. LOL!
Covering a range of topics, if you’re into horror and looking for anything ranging from shlocky to serious, zombies or psychological, Rick Hipson won’t steer you wrong.

If you like horror in all it’s forms, Rick Hipson’s book Dark Bites is for you.
Chock full of interviews, reviews and insights there’s something for everyone.
You can tell right away that Rick is a true horror fan by the intelligent and insightful questions he asks his subjects.
His obvious enthusiasm will have you searching out the books and films discussed within the pages of his book long after you’ve finished it.
Some standouts for me were his interviews with Gregory Lamberson, Richard Christian Matheson and F Paul Wilson.
I highly recommend this book.
