Monica S. Kuebler is an accomplished writer, two-time Go-Go Ghoul and once-regular smut columnist who joined the Rue Crew full-time in November 2003, first as Assistant Editor/Webmistress, before later becoming Managing Editor. Often found lurking beneath an unruly pile of horror novels, Monica pours her blood, sweat and acidic tears into the Ninth Circle department, all while keeping that spooky third eye of hers on the Rue Morgue Radio website. Be afraid, Monica is probably watching you too!

Tomorrow (Saturday) night marks the final Toronto performance of the Catalyst Theatre’s production of Frankenstein, which was picked up by the Canadian Stage for its latest season after the show scooped up a bunch of awards during its inaugural run (Outstanding New Play, Production, Score, Set, Costume and Lighting Design, among them).
If I am going to be completely honest here, this play admittedly isn’t for everyone. If the mere thought of a musical sends you running and screaming for the hills, this Frankenstein isn’t for you. Musical numbers, dance and movement choreography figure heavily into the show – as does its very unique and compelling costume design (see the image above for an example). In fact, it’s probably best that you put all former Frankenstein adaptations out of your mind before you take your seat, as this production, musical numbers aside, sticks closer to Mary Shelley’s original novel than most do – meaning it’s equal parts familial gothic melodrama and horror story. While there are some problems with the pacing – in particular, the first act feels overlong – the performances are exceptional across the board. So, if the idea of a monster musical tickles your fancy and an avant-garde take on a classic horror story sounds intriguing, you’d do well to surf on over to the Canadian Stage website, and secure some seats for closing night. Because once it’s gone, it’s gone.

For the last eight years – even before I ever came to work at Rue Morgue – I’ve run my own micro press called Burning Effigy. Shortly before my wedding in the fall of 2006, after having several conversations with friends in the horror book biz, I decided to chase a dream. In January 2007, [...]

It should come as no surprise that I have a bit of an obsession with the weird and morbid. I write the “Coroner’s Report” column after all and more than two shelves in my personal library are devoted to non-fiction on a variety of morbid and disturbing topics. Maybe this can be blamed on the [...]

October is easily the best month of the year because all those stuffy old news outlets, mags and online ‘zines that typically have nothing to do with horror start dredging up stories to suit the Halloween season. Sure, some are hokey as hell, but once in a while you happen across a gem, something particularly [...]

I stumbled across this strange tidbit concerning a fashion spread in the French Vogue this morning.
