Websites for Horror/Apocalypse book reviews?

I read Tor and watch Sword and Laser to find new SciFi books, but I need a site for Horror and Apocalypse recommendations! Aside from Goodreads, how do you guys find new and interesting books in these genres?

The best I think are finding blogs by your favorite authors. They tend to read a lot and do decent book reviews. I get some good book leads from Christopher Fowler's blog and Jeff Vandermeer's blog. They do blog about a lot of things though not just horror fiction.

The Best Horror of the Year I think still has a section about notable novels and movies and other works of horror. Other year's best collections may do the same.

My local sci-fi / horror / fantasy bookstore Borderlands has a great selection and newsletters that highlight new books and events.

Awards - when I run out of ideas I look up award winners for the big awards for the genres I read and add to my good reads list and go back a few years to find things I've missed. So I've got a lot of Bram Stoker award winners to read.

I forgot to mention readers groups. I've used them to find good lists of mysteries but there might be good resources for horror / apocalypse fiction too.
