The latest — and second — issue of the magazine BLACK<\/strong>: Australian Dark Culture<\/em> is about to be released, and it’s a superb one.<\/p>\n

\"Black<\/a><\/p>\n

Apart from the regular columnists, the issue includes a chthonian cornucopia of articles on new dark films and books, dark culture events, Fiona Horne and Wendy Rule (“the musician witches of Oz”), Guillermo del Toro and Hellboy 2<\/em>, horror writer Paul Haines, the Supernatural<\/em> “brothers”, and much else besides.<\/p>\n

Fans of the walking dead will definitely want to get their hands on a copy as it includes a wealth of zombie-related material. Upfront is an article that came out of my recent interview with the Master of the Living Dead himself, George Romero. Black<\/em> flew me down to Melbourne in late July specifically to interview The Man, who was in Australia promoting his latest Living Dead film, Diary of the Dead<\/em>. I had a great time.<\/p>\n

You can find out all the dirt I dug up by getting hold of the magazine when it appears in a newsagency, Borders store or other quality magazine outlet near you (in Australia). Either that or subscribe through the website<\/a> (the best option, especially for those overseas). For your money, you get my short article on “The Evolution of the Zombie” as well. You know you want a copy — just take a look at the fantastic opening double-page spread for my chat with the great horror filmmaker.<\/p>\n

\"Black<\/a><\/p>\n

While in Melbourne I also talked to new Aussie filmmaker Steven Kastrissios about his superb revenge thriller, The Horseman<\/em>, and veteran exploitation director Jon Hewitt on his hard-hitting teen thriller Acolytes<\/em>. Want to know how Hewitt’s first film, the vampire\/crime flick\u00a0 Bloodlust<\/em> (which “offended everyone”), was made with the help of the criminal underground?
