Play Dead in Common

Lots of little things going on, so I thought I'd post a bunch of random news all in one batch: + WD Prescott is running a neat contest on his website with a chance to win a signed copy of my out of print novel, Play Dead! + You can now order the 'spoon river horror poetry anthology,' Death In Common, edited by Rich Ristow, on amazon.com + Two of my critical essays on THE EXORCIST will appear in Studies in the Horror Film: The Exorcist, which promises to be a fantastic -- if not the definitive -- collection of…

Pluck Your Last Drink Bird Head

Awhile ago I got the strangest e-mail message from World Fantasy Award-winning author (and old friend) Jeff Vandermeer. It read: Who is Last Drink Bird Head? Story, anecdote, 500 words.

Darkness on the Edge: A Bruce Springsteen Anthology

PS Publishing is now taking orders for Darkness on the Edge: Tales Inspired by the Songs of Bruce Springsteen. It will soon be available in a signed and unsigned limited edition hardcover.  My story is called "The Hungry Heart" -- sort of like Poe meets the Boss.  Other contributors include Sarah Langan, Gary Braunbeck, Elizabeth Massie, Lawrence C. Connolly and lots of other great dark fantasy writers.  Edited by Harrison Howe, with cover art by the infamous JK Potter. Definitely worth a look!  The limited edition is available here, and likely to sell out quickly.

Bare Bone Finale

Raw Dog Screaming Press has announced publication of the grand finale issue of Bare Bone magazine (#11). It features fiction from Kurt Newton, Ronald Damien Malfi, Cody Goodfellow, Steve Rasnic Tem, Paul Finch and Jeffrey A. Stadt among others. Some of the poets included are myself, Cameron Pierce and Forrest Armstrong. (Read the full TOC on Kurt Newton's blog.) Editor Kevin Donihe has done a rather remarkable job with this magazine over the years, turning it from a truly-bare-boned zine into a full-fledged glossy trade paperback anthology-grade journal of the bizarro. I've had work in several issues (I think issues…

Now Available: Horror Library Vol. III

The anthology, Horror Library Vol. III, is now available from Cutting Block Press. Featuring stories by Bentley Little, Gary Braunbeck, Matt Warner, Cullen Bunn, Jeff Strand, and many many more, this is a book of stories that you won't want to miss. If you don't believe me, visit the publisher, who offers a generous sampling of the first two pages of every story online for free. Even an advanced peek at my story, "Guarded" is available! Speaking of "Guarded," I read that story at an author's event at Zombiefest 2008 this past Halloween, and an audio recording may soon be…
