Scenes from the Bizarro Halloween Party / Grave Markings Launch

Last night, Raw Dog Screaming Press threw a great Bizarro Halloween night and launch party for Grave Markings 20th Anniversary Edition at the Terrault Contemporary gallery in Baltimore, MD. As you'll see in the photos below, advanced copies of the novel were available, and the night featured a series of fiction readings, emceed by bizarro author John Edward Lawson. The tattoo artist responsible for the great tat on the cover of the book, Ethan Fuhrer, was on hand, along with Nathan Rosen, designer of the covers for GM and Play Dead.

New Release: Grave Markings 20th Anniversary Edition

This Halloween marks two decades since my Bram Stoker Award-winning first novel, Grave Markings, was published by Dell/Abyss Books. The story dramatizes a tattoo artist's descent into madness, and the subsequent "artistic" killing spree that results. I was fortunate that ten years ago, it was reprinted in a fancy leatherbound and collectible hardcover run by Delirium Books -- but only the most die-hard collectors could afford to acquire the tenth anniversary edition and that great book is now rare and long out of print. This year, happily, the novel has been resurrected by Raw Dog Screaming Press in a special…

“Limber” – A Lost Audiovile Track – Discovered and Remixed

In 2014, I am planning to return to recording and to produce my first audiobook for Mastication Publications. So in early December, I started getting set up... and I stumbled upon an old recording of my short story, "Limber" hidden in the old master tapes for my 2007 CD from Raw Dog Screaming Press, Audiovile. I'd completely forgotten I'd even recorded it! As I listened, the only reason I could guess that I abandoned it was that it didn't quite "fit" into Audiovile...but now I like the "Pink Floyd" styled guitar that backed the vocals, and the storytelling still stands…
