or, it’s swag to me, anyway–a gift from the blue. specif­i­cally, from Noose, over at the Vel­vet (Noose of course being the guy who authored the orig­i­nal site this site still owes a lot of its code to). A very cool lit­tle ani­mated gif and a whole suite of images. Spooky, I mean. Over to […]

Another one com­ing out there, one of my favorite sto­ries of any I’ve ever writ­ten. so, to sum up the forth­com­ing Ceme­tery Dance stuff: “Raphael,” in #55 (right about to be out–might be out exactly when DEMON THEORY is, really) “Hell on the Home­front Too,” some­time later “Father, Son, Holy Rab­bit,” some other time. very cool mag, […]

Hey, it’s up. Lots of talk about hor­ror movies and all kinds of other stuff. Click on the image to go there:

All I knew about Penn­syl­va­nia before the last cou­ple of days was what I’d read in Pynchon’s Mason & Dixon. It’s the place with those big pretty barns, though; I know that now. Any­way, touched down about four in the after­noon, after get­ting up at 3:30 to catch the plane out of Lub­bock (only got […]

another story in Ceme­tery Dance. a zombie-piece. too, if you don’t sub­scribe to their newslet­ter, I’d rec­om­mend it. if you’re into hor­ror, I mean. lots of the bargains/sales they’re always doing, then inter­vws and reviews and all that good stuff. an inter­view on Mis­nomer. look­ing like it’ll post there tomor­row. was a blast to do, and […]

Just real­ized we’re T-minus four weeks on Demon The­ory. Usu­ally by now galleys/ARCs would have been float­ing around, but, grem­lins being what they are, we’re hold­ing our breaths for the final copies instead. Which might make it all cooler, even. Still, though, I feel kind of bad about not giv­ing any sneak peaks. So–and yeah, this […]

So a while back a friend i was bor­row­ing DVDs from asked what hor­ror he might need to have a some­what com­plete col­lec­tion. I told him I’d pen him a list sooner or later. Only just now remem­ber­ing this. And, yeah, two dis­claimers before I even start here: 1) I’m surely for­get­ting as many as […]

Next Wednes­day at 8:00, I’m in the Fos­ter Audi­to­rium up at Penn State (in State Col­lege, PA). Just read­ing aloud. Not sure what yet, but I’ll have a plane ride to decide, of course …

Juked just pasted it up on their very cool walls. ( as for my feel­ings for time-travel, I think there’s a thread some­where on the Vel­vet already. to sum it up here, though: it’s a hard call for me, between time travel and were­wolves. and that’s say­ing more than a lot )

This was a panel from the AWP con­fer­ence. Think the star­date was 9 March, 2006, about 1:30 in the breath­less after­noon. A big room with these drap­ing chan­de­liers, and some ice cold water in metal pitch­ers (and, luck­ily for my whis­per­ing self, a mic). The write-up of the panel, from the schedule-thing: Where Genre and […]
