ATTENTION: The Former Goreletter Server/Archive has Moved

On Halloween, I began using a new mail server to design and deliver The Goreletter, which includes fancy HTML graphics and more options. I have also now removed previous newsletter server pages for The Goreletter -- which means that more than a decade's worth of former archives are also no longer accessible and any links here and abroad that referenced a "cgi" directory are no longer valid and will probably take visitors automatically to an error page or a dead end.

Photos from NOVA Horrorfest Event — 10.25.2013 Manassas, VA

I had a fabulous time last weekend as a guest at North Virginia Community College – Manassas, who has been running a "Horrorfest" all month to celebrate student creativity on the dark side. The event began with my reading in Colgan Theater (I read a sampler of things, from excerpts from 100 Jolts to zombie poems from Gorelets Omnibus to a dark slide show of images and poetry based on my trip last Halloween season to the Mutter Museum). The booksigning afterward was great because I got to meet lots of great folks, from people I knew only from twitter…
