Video: Fearzone Reading at Zombiefest

At the Zombiefest convention last month, the good folks at FearZone.com took me to a quiet corner of the mall, held a camera to my head and demanded an exclusive reading of some short shorts.  They're posting the film on their site tomorrow to slather your Thanksgiving holiday in horror gravy.  Here's an advanced screening.  Happy Turkey Choppin', boys and girls!  Don't forget your MyBlade.

Now Available: Horror Library Vol. III

The anthology, Horror Library Vol. III, is now available from Cutting Block Press. Featuring stories by Bentley Little, Gary Braunbeck, Matt Warner, Cullen Bunn, Jeff Strand, and many many more, this is a book of stories that you won't want to miss. If you don't believe me, visit the publisher, who offers a generous sampling of the first two pages of every story online for free. Even an advanced peek at my story, "Guarded" is available!

Happy World Zombie Day

Zombiefest 2008 -- held at the Monroeville Mall in Pittsburgh this weekend -- has so far been both fun and disturbingly surreal.  I've posted some photos from the first day of the dead in the gorelets.com gallery -- mostly of friends in publishing, but also a few freaky shots like the one above.  Aside from crawling the mall, hanging out at my publisher's table and saying "Brainnns!" over and over again, yesterday I performed a fiction reading along with Ryan Mecum (author of Zombie Haiku) and Steve North (author of Dead Tide) -- which you should be able to hear a podcast of soon on…

Zombiefest 08 Schedule

Some folks have been asking when I'm reading at Zombiefest this weekend, so I thought I should post a reminder here. I'm hitting the mic today (Sat. 10/25) at 4pm, in a storefront beside the main stage (the readings will take place in a defunct Men's Warehouse store on the first floor of the mall, right in front of Boscov's) for the convention in the Mall. The folks at FearZone provide a full weekend schedule.
