Enter the FearZone

Fearzone.com is running several features on my writing this week: a meaty FICTION EXCERPT from my new novelette from Bad Moon Books, called The Bitchfight; a celebratory REVIEW of that book (which calls it "an enormously entertaining modern tale of terror perhaps destined to become a future classic."; and finally, a fun INTERVIEW with me conducted by the inimitable horror humorist, Jeff Strand FearZone is really shaping up to be one of the best horror genre news sites out there, updated with new reviews, interviews, blog features and news items on a daily basis. Instead of eschewing film for a…
