6m66s — My New Podcast

Commute to hell each week in this gleefully deranged podcast by Bram Stoker Award-winning horror writer Michael Arnzen (gorelets.com).

If you like it, please spread the…

They also routinely interview people in the book business and include…

Creating Something From Nothing

At the heart of creativity is innovation -- that is, the ability to originate, or to act on the impulse to make something new. I recently was interviewed by my friend in the creativity business, author Matt Betts, who I think of as an innovative writer because he channels his fannish glee for genre literature and movies into some very fresh takes on familiar tropes, often by mashing them together and seeing what happens. He's written some wildly imaginative novels for Raw Dog Screaming Press, is authoring a sasquatch series, and is continuing the saga of Carson of Venus from…

Something in Your Ear for Christmas

If you haven't been listening to the 6'+ ('six foot plus') podcast, you've been missing out on some weird, strange and spooky music -- from psychobilly to demented surf to horror spoken word. The latest episode (#45: "The Holidays are Horrible") includes a track from my CD, Audiovile, called "Little Stocking Stuffers" -- and it's neat to hear how well it fits in with the rest of the battery of horrifying holiday beats. Stream it online, or subscribe via iTunes. If you dig it, be sure to check out Audiovile -- download it on iTunes or buy a CD for…
