Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
I got my copy of The Horror Fiction Review No. 13 today. There’s a sweet review of the Corpse Blossoms anthology … something you definitely should own by now. Here’s the bit of the review I liked best: “The God of Discord” shows that relative newcomer Steven E. Wedel can putt on par with the…
After not touching it for almost two months, I returned to my short story “One Night in Benevolence” this evening, thinking I’d write a new beginning, alter things a bit in the body and change the ending. Nuh-uh. I completely rewrote the story, making it about 1,000 words longer and only using some chunks of…
It’s a Brian Keene issue of Horror World this month. Everything you want to know about “the zombie guy,” and more is revealed in my in-depth interview, plus a new Keene short story. So quite reading this and get your butt over to Horror World right now!
This is an attempt to shame my wife — or oldest daughter — into baking me a cake. For the first time in 40 years, I didn’t have a birthday cake. Boohoo! So, what kind of luck do I have? Lemme tell ya. Yesterday I set out to relieve some tension by going to H&H…
Today is Jessica Alba’s 25th birthday. Yes, little Jessica Alba. She grew up, she filled out. Oh yeah, it’s also my birthday. And I’m a little older than Jessica. I cannot believe I’ve hit 40. Best case scenario, my life is half-over now. Yeah, you can say it’s a half-full vs. half-empty thing, but we…

Everything is on deadline, of course. I can’t work without pressure! The short story is maybe a bit too autobiographical/wish fulfillment. I hope…
Tried to check my site today and it crashed Internet Explorer. I switched to Mozilla and the site comes up completely blank. I’m not sure what the problem is. I renewed my domain name yesterday. In the past, any kind of transaction like that has thrown Godaddy.com into a tizzy, so maybe that’s all this…
This pending birthday thing is getting to me. One week from 40. How did this happen to me? Little things keep reminding me of the past in ways they don’t usually. I have to get my driver’s license renewed this month, and the memories of getting that first license have been very vivid. I took…
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
I came across this “human capital” phrase in some corporate newsletter I was reading. It wasn’t the first time I saw it, but that doesn’t prevent it from pissing me off. Human capital. This is the corporate dehumanization of the workforce. It’s pathetic and sad. It was bad enough being a human resource, but at…
