Feel free to post your reviews of horror movies, books, comics, and whatever else you'd like in here. We want this forum to be a valuable resource to fans who legitimately want some insight into a movie, book, etc., so try to remember a few guidelines:

1. Try to make your reviews as thorough as possible. This forum is for QUALITY reviews, not for quantity and not simply for you to boost your post count on. If you post a review that's only a couple of sentences long, it will be deleted. It won't be moved b/c chances are it will have been talked about in another forum. If you only have a couple of sentences to say about a particular movie or book, take it to another forum.

2. Try to make your post as neat and easy to read as possible. Seperating it into paragraphs is always a good thing on long reviews. Capitalization, punctuation, and those things are always nice too.

3. It's not necessary, but a user rating would be useful for many readers, especially if you plan to be a regular poster in the forum.

4. When commenting on someone else's review, try to comment on specific points of the reviewer. You can argue other unrelated points on other forum's. This will prevent too many redundant arguments among forums. DO NOT start another thread to respond to someone's review, keep it inside the original thread.

5. Again, if you throw down a few lines of "I like Night of the Living Dead. It was cool."...it's going to be deleted. Moderators will be the final judge of what's acceptable, and we probably won't notify you if it gets deleted. No whining or crying, you've been warned.

Would it be appropriate for me to post the beginning of a book that I'm writing for others to review in the reviews thread?

I think your posts related to a book you are writing may be better served in the "Shameless Plugs" forum. Initially it does seem to make sense to post your writings in the "Horror Reviews" or "Zombie Books & Comics" forums, but looking at the stickies for the "rules" of these two forums, I think they are mostly for the discussion and review of widely-available zombie stuff.

Hope this helps! I will keep my eyes peeled for your post so I can check out your stuff!

Thanks for the help. I posted the first two chapters under zombie books, and then I found the shameless plugs thread (I guess I'm a little too eager). So if you want to check it out, it's under both of those. Thanks!:)
