FALLING IN AND OUT OF LOVE. Hi, just wanted to say that I discovered your magazine with issue #7 and have, until recently, been a huge fan. The mixture of coverage of cult classics and select, interesting newer films has helped you carve out your own niche in the horror film mag genre, and has really been spot on. The writing is solid and engaging and the photos and layout are excellent. I have fallen in love with the magazine to the point that it had fast become one of my favourite genre publications. My only complaint being that sometimes reviewers of DVD releases would needlessly give away crucial plot points of films many of us haven’t seen, the worst example being the Deep End review.
Now, I am worried that I will be falling out of love just as quickly. I realize that you don’t want to just focus on films and want to include features on other aspects of horror, such as plays, rides, operas and so forth. Now, it’s your magazine and your call, and I don’t mind the odd article of this type, but I just think that you have gone way overboard in the other direction. Issue #11 was filled with over ONE HALF of non film related articles. I, for one, am just not interested in reading 10 page articles on ballet, opera or whatever. They seem very dry and tough slogging, and come at the expense of DVD reviews and your excellent Italian horror film series that you had (?) going.
If you are going to become another Rue Morgue, then I’m afraid I’m going to have to abandon ship. I mean, what’s next? Articles on monster key rings and temporary Cthulhu tattoos? Anyways, if you are interested in the feedback, I certainly hope that you return to the excellent balance that you had going in previous issues. My 2 cents.

Thank you for your comments, Neil.
We do out best and we know we’re not going to please everybody all the time. But, hopefully, you will find enough to interest you in most issues. Diabolique is an experiment, and we continue to try to improve with every issue. Your feedback is very helpful to us.
Cheers,
