Just posted the above video review of a few funky science fictional things I've been up to lately: including a teeny tiny ebook device for microfiction, a new experimental (and free!) short-short anthology (#Citybots) and the awesome Fear the Abyss anthology from Post Mortem Press.

Something in Your Ear for Christmas

If you haven't been listening to the 6'+ ('six foot plus') podcast, you've been missing out on some weird, strange and spooky music -- from psychobilly to demented surf to horror spoken word. The latest episode (#45: "The Holidays are Horrible") includes a track from my CD, Audiovile, called "Little Stocking Stuffers" -- and it's neat to hear how well it fits in with the rest of the battery of horrifying holiday beats. Stream it online, or subscribe via iTunes. If you dig it, be sure to check out Audiovile -- download it on iTunes or buy a CD for…

Coming Soon: Diabolique 14

Last month, Diabolique (the magazine of "Horror for the Connoisseur") included my short-short, "Convictions" (an excerpt from 100 Jolts), in their fabulous Christmas horror issue.

These are no-nonsense, entertaining books, edited with a gleeful love of the horror genre. So when I heard they were putting together a collection of science-fiction stories by writers primarily known for their horror fiction, I was very happy to join the party. And what a grand party it is! Here's the full Table of Contents. It's a pretty impressive roster, and I…

Attention Ebook Readers: Fictionwise.com to Close Shop

If you've been reading my ebooks since the early days (e.g., pre-Kindle), then there's a good chance you got them through Fictionwise.com -- one of the first successful ebook distributors, known for offering a wide array of genre fiction -- especially individual short stories -- for a very affordable price. You may have already known that they were "bought out" by Barnes and Noble a few years ago, to help support B&N's offerings for the Nook e-reader. Yesterday I was informed that I should backup all my own purchases and get ready for the site to close down. They have…
