microcosms of horrors

Throughout this Halloween month, microcosms twitterzine is posting horror poetry of 140 characters or less via twitter. I'll have about five of them in the mix, with the first one -- "Sick Taxidermist" -- posted just today. Check 'em out, and follow microcosms (and me too!) if you're on twitter. The internet radio show, Snark Infested Waters, is posting a new horror-related podcast every day in October, too. They interviewed me about -- and will be playing a selection of tracks from -- my Audiovile CD in a few days. The interview was funny...it's now available for your listening pleasure.
