Don’t Stop Bleeding

Just a vampire girl Livin' in a zombie world She took the midnight train Goin' anywhere Just a city boy Dead and raised in south Detroit He took a bite of brain Goin' anywhere Find a human in a smoky room The smell of blood and cheap perfume For a lifetime they can share the night It goes on and on and on and on Strangers shuffling Up and down the boulevard Shadows searching In the night Undead people Living just to find emotion Feasting somewhere In the night Slurping hearts till the lust's fulfilled Everybody's out to kill Doin'…

Please Sir, Can I Have Some Gore?

Orphan Feast is a delightfully strange game, inspired by a combination of Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" and Dickens' Oliver Twist -- with a little Dr. Seuss and Tim Burton thrown into the mix.

Not Dead Yet: The Listmaniacal Archive

I've gathered all the books I've reviewed in The Goreletter (since 2002) into some fun listmania lists over at amazon.com, and I'll keep adding titles to them from the "Not Dead Yet" department into the future. I've also been having way too much fun trolling around amazon for weird discoveries, and I have compiled a few other funky lists, like the Goofy Gory Gifts Galore list and other novelty lists. I'm apparently a listmaniac. After many years of neglect, I have updated my author profile on amazon.com, where you can find more weirdness and links to many of my books…
