We’re no strangers to devouring a book ourselves, so we offer you not just ten, as these things usually go, but a full thirty scary books, stories, and comics for your reading pleasure.

And now that MTV is looking at Locke & Key, there might be a glimmer of hope for another high-quality, supernaturally-themed show. But that's a big "maybe."

Some vague news about David E. Kelley's new Wonder Woman series is coming through the wires today saying that it's been picked up by NBC for a full series.
