Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
What’s the hottest thing in horror right now? Yes, even hotter than the poop we discussed the other day. C’mon, you know this. Yes, it’s the zombie. There’s plethora of zombie movies that have been released recently or will be coming soon. Some were good, most were bad. There’s also been a glut of zombie…
I’ve been pretty down the past couple of days. Yeah, it’s the job situation. Still. But there is some positive news (that has nothing to do with my car insurance, which is not Geico). I learned I’m in the top 10 for a state public information officer job I tested for a few weeks ago.…
RJ and Julia Sevin of Creeping Hemlock Press have asked me to help promote the Corpse Blossoms anthology at Horrorfind in Baltimore August 19-21. To do this, they are providing (at least one) advance reading copy (ARC) of the anthology for me to give away during my reading between 6:30-7:30 p.m. Friday (sharing the hour…
Some friends were discussing the use of poop in horror fiction today. They had different ideas on why an author would include bodily functions and waste in a horror story, when such things are rarely mentioned in most other forms of fiction.

I’m thinking of you … and fighting prostate cancer. No way I could resist that one.
Horror World just posted a nice new review of Call to the Hunt, written by Steve Vernon (). My favorite line is: You can’t go very wrong with a werewolf in a bonnet. Steve, if you’re reading, you’ll eventually get to spend more time in the Revolutionary War era with Ulrik. He’ll think back to that…
Turned in my two OKC Business News stories today. One was about casino gambling coming to Remington Park horse racetrack. In doing research I came across the word “racino,” and it was actually used a lot. Who makes up that crap? No, don’t answer that. It’s exactly the kind of corporate buzzword I used to…
Just a quickie to say I turned in the next issue of Horror World’s What’s on Board newsletter today. For my two columns this month I interviewed Kealan Patrick Burke about his Web site and Black Death Books about their site, publishing schedule and such. Click here to sign up for the newsletter. You don’t have…
