Exquisite Terror

[Mike]

Naila Scargill who used to be the deputy editor at GOREZONE UK Magazine,
is in the process of setting up her own project,
which is called Exquisite Terror.
It's to cover horror films, but will take a more academic approach and expand on themes within.

This post from Naila in

tells a lot about herself and Gorezone magazine.
I believe Exquisite Terror will be a serious and intelligent publication.

Hello folks. I'm Naila; I used to be Bryn's deputy at the magazine. I just Googled him out of curiosity — we're no longer on speaking terms after I snapped and told him to shove it — and just feel the need to vent a bit. It's okay; I'm not going to attack anybody!

I felt humiliated on a monthly basis, it going out with so many errors (I also subbed). Hours, I'd spend, typing corrections rarely implemented... God. It was always a waste of time, but I could hardly refuse; each issue I'd cross my fingers he'd use them. I stopped looking at the finished rag in the end as I knew I'd just get annoyed. Trouble was, I freelanced from London, and HQ was Northampton.

I agree the content was speeding downhill, too. It got embarrassing. The legal threats and mud-slinging, the same. Why did I stay? Confused loyalty. You're absolutely right regards his fame-craving. Just ridiculous.

I'm working on a project of my own now, also a horror publication, and I'm quite concerned it'll be assumed bad just by association. Ho-hum. I hope people give it a chance. It's the polar opposite of GZ, at least.

I probably won't come back as I find these things horribly addictive, and I really should be working! As you were.
