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…

MORE Twisted Prompts for NaNoWriMo Writers

Last week I posted a batch of creative writing sparks just for novelists to inspire some craziness during the launch of NaNoWriMo ("National Novel Writing Month") Now it's a week later. Many writers have quit. Still others are beginning to lose steam. So I'm offering another batch of Instigation to possibly keep the fires burning weirdly. Remember: finishing is not enough. You have to GO CRAZY! The glee of the twisted is a communicable disease that many readers love to catch. Good luck. ~~~~~~~~~ + Your character is desperate. Literally have them make a sacrifice. To a named deity. Even…

Hypnotica: The Zoomquilt II

The first Zoomquilt, back in 2005, was an amazing feat of online collaborative art. It took me five years to break out of its infinite loop. Little did I know that in 2007, it returned in a sequel that's even darker and more addictively hypnotic than the first. Are you ready for... ZOOMQUILT II Let's play a scavenger hunt together, shall we? See if you can spot the following on your never-ending journey into madness: + a pirate flag + a "warning dynamic killa" flag + "the end is nigh" flag + a "no Mickies" flag + a "hell" sign…
