The Fridge of the Damned Gallery

The Fridge of the Damned is currently landing in backer mailboxes everywhere, and people are having a blast with the weird horror poetry magnets, and sharing their photos online.

And for a limited time, he is currently screening his brilliant, must-see 2005 film, The Meaning of Life in HD on Youtube. Don't…

The Fridge of the Damned magnetic word tile set! These "poetry magnets" have been manufactured by US Magnetix and all 210 pounds of them have been delivered to my publisher, Raw Dog Screaming Press, who will be working with Nathan Rosen at microhorror.com to distribute these and the myriad rewards that are going out in the first few weeks of March in appreciation to those who helped fund this project.
