Horrorfind Moments

Last weekend, I attended HorrorFind Weekend 2008 held in the Mariott at the University of Maryland in Adelphi, along with my wife Renate and my friend from graduate school, Bill Hamilton. Though the new space thinned out the herd a bit too much for my taste, it was a decent convention with a great dealer's room and I had a generally good time hanging out with some old friends while making many new ones. My wife and I also took a break and drove into Baltimore to visit Poe's grave and one of the locations for the Homicide TV show…

The Book of Lists: Horror!

"The Book of Lists: Horror" (edited by Amy Wallace, Del Howison, and Scott Bradley) is coming soon! The cover above just went up on amazon.com and it should be an awesome collection of information, featuring lists by Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, Robert Bloch, Eli Roth, and many other genre greats. My list of the "Best Horror Colleges" will be there. I think this volume is not only going to be a great research tool, but an awful lot of fun. You can preorder the book on Amazon.com now!

Zombie Mall is Selling Audiovile

Zombie Mall is now selling the Audiovile CD on its all-things-undead store! They've got a few sample tracks posted, too, that you might enjoy... Technically, two of the tracks on Audiovile are stories purely concerned with Zombies proper. The rest only feature a zombie percussion player who you can dimly hear in the background, tinkling the triangle and groaning for brains when my cats were out of reach from his chain. The mall loved the CD so much they wrote a happy review of it, too. Learn all about Audiovile in the gorelets bibliography.
