Photos from Killercon V

KillerCon V (Sept 2013) -- a scary-sounding and small-but-professional convention for authors of dark crime, horror and thriller fiction -- was really a blast to attend last weekend. It was my first con West of the Mississippi in a really long while, so it was good to reunite with old friends and to make all sorts of charming and alarming new ones.  My reading and panels were fun, and perhaps I'll share some audio soon.  I also was pleased to sell a lot of copies of my novel, Play Dead, since this book is SET in (a fictionalized version of)…

The Fridge of the Damned Gallery

The Fridge of the Damned is currently landing in backer mailboxes everywhere, and people are having a blast with the weird horror poetry magnets, and sharing their photos online. If you're one of them, I invite you to email me a shot or post a link to one to contribute a photo to the Fridge of the Damned gallery on Flickr.

The Fridge of the Damned: A Raging Success!

A gigantic "THANK YOU!" to everyone who so generously backed our kickstarter project for The Fridge of the Damned magnetic word tile kit! This unique novelty item was not only successfully funded on Feb 1st, 2013, but we reached 200% of our goal from the contributions of so many kind backers, which allows us to deliver the set to everyone in custom tins. THANK YOU! And I also have to thank the folks who joined forces with me -- my publishers, John and Jennifer at Raw Dog Screaming Press, who not only have chipped in many of the rewards but…
