Audiovile & Poedown – Now Streaming in Digital Audio!

I've been busy over the past few months with work for Mastication Publications. Finally, it's time to dish out what's been cooking all this time. A lot of it has been on the AUDIOBOOK front. I'm happy to report that this weekend, you can stream the gore on the new page at bandcamp! Just go to http://arnzen.bandcamp.com and click around -- you can listen for free a few times, so sample widely. I'll embed some players below so you can get a quick listen.

Snapshots from the 2016 World Horror Con

Just back from a "Provo-cative" weekend in Provo, Utah, where I attended the 2016 World Horror Convention as a special guest. It was a very intimate con, mistimed in the grand scheme of genre events this year (i.e., the first StokerCon is in Vegas next weekend -- I'm going to that too), but having a smaller event led to tighter bonds as we all got to know each other better as professionals and people. They kept me VERY busy (I was on three-to-five programming events per day), so I didn't take as many photos as usual, but I did manage…
