Bare Bone Finale

Raw Dog Screaming Press has announced publication of the grand finale issue of Bare Bone magazine (#11). It features fiction from Kurt Newton, Ronald Damien Malfi, Cody Goodfellow, Steve Rasnic Tem, Paul Finch and Jeffrey A. Stadt among others. Some of the poets included are myself, Cameron Pierce and Forrest Armstrong. (Read the full TOC on Kurt Newton's blog.) Editor Kevin Donihe has done a rather remarkable job with this magazine over the years, turning it from a truly-bare-boned zine into a full-fledged glossy trade paperback anthology-grade journal of the bizarro. I've had work in several issues (I think issues…

European Translations

This Spring will see a handful of my short works transformed into European languages, so I want to publicly express thanks to the translators. Piotr Leszczyński has written a number of excellent Polish versions of my short-shorts for the online journal, Minimal Books , over the past few years -- and several of his translations have appeared in print this month in the Polish literary magazine, Red. Jerome Charlet has been busy translating my work into French, and a fine chapbook edition of "Skull Fragments" (the lead story from 100 Jolts)  is scheduled to appear next month as part of…

The Ecology of Housecleaning

Still alive... catching up with all sorts of projects.  Almost overlooked this one: My microfiction, "The Ecology of Housecleaning," appears in the latest issue of Dustin LaValley's deceptively disturbing Micro100 journal.  Happy to see my old friend Kurt Newton has a tiny tale in there, alongside all sorts of other 100-word-or-less stories involving knives and babies.

The Roundtable of Terror

You can now listen to the *complete* roundtable conversation between Lawrence C. Connolly, Lucy A. Snyder, Gary A. Braunbeck and myself, recorded in late September 2008, called "The Business/Life of Writing Horror and Dark Fantasy". It's one of the best panels on the genre I've ever been a part of, in professional studio-quality audio. The discussion goes into very deep, and sometimes very funny, territory, really showing the complexity of the genre and where horror fiction is headed. Hosted by Doug Dangler at the Ohio State U Center for the Study and Teaching of Writing, you can download it from…
