Kaiju Death Spiral: A Class Poetry eBook

Happy National Poetry Month once again! This year, I'm sharing the work of students in my current undergraduate world literature course in Global Horror, where we're currently wrapping up the term at Seton Hill University. In that class, we studied everything from current folk horror novels to Serbian folk vampires. One week, we practiced Japanese poetic forms, inspired by our study of the Godzilla kaiju films, Junji Ito's classic horror manga, Uzumaki, and Jisei death poems. The results were so good, I compiled them into a fun and morbidly twisted ebook, called Kaiju Death Spiral, featuring a fantastic piece of…

Keep on Writing in the Dark

If you came to this post looking for Instigation, you've got it. And there's a prompt at the very end.

Flash Audio Sale at Bandcamp

This Friday (Feb 4th, 2021) is known as "Bandcamp Friday" -- a day that happens every now and again, when the audio/music website, bandcamp, doesn't scrape any profit off the top of sales. This means a lot to the tons of indie musicians and artists they host, so a lot of bands will encourage their fans to buy their music on that day. Well, I'm no Richard Cheese, but all of my old audio releases (save for Freakcidents, which is exclusive to audible.com) are also on bandcamp, so -- as promised in the latest issue of The Goreletter -- I…

New Online Course: Treacherous Settings
