May Updates

Lots of little news bytes to pass along.


  • WHC: I’m heading to World Horror Convention in San Francisco on May 11-15th. .
  • News: I’ll be sending out the next e-mail edition of The Goreletter shortly after I return. New contests await! Sign up now if you want to win something.
  • Vanderworld: Look for the fun interview, “Michael Arnzen Walks the Plank,” scheduled to appear on fantasist Jeff Vandermeer’s weblog in the weeks to come. (And if you’re looking for a great summer read, I really recommend his books!)
  • Not Dead Yet: A neat review of my funky “household tips for serial killers” chapbook, Michael Arnzen Dying, just went up at Bookloons.
  • Pod: The Goreletter is proudly sponsoring Pod of Horror for the month. If you haven’t listened to this wacky horrorshow, check them out at HorrorReader.com
  • Film: The production of Exquisite Corpse — a compilation of short films by different artists responding to my poetry — is coming along swiftly. The website isn’t up yet, but it is likely to appear at www.exquisitecorpsemovie.com. I’ve seen an advanced look at the DVD cover sleeve…this is going to be VERY COOL!
  • Web: Raw Dog Screaming — publisher of my books, Play Dead and 100 Jolts — has overhauled their website. It looks fantastic and they’ve got some great new titles recently announced. Check ’em out.
  • Blog: My NEW weblog at amazon.com is now up and running. The dismembered hand is taking questions.
