Zombifurcation

At the Nightsun writing conference in Frostburg, MD, last weekend, I had the privilege of performing a reading of fiction and poetry. Here's an audio clip from the event, along with the text for one of the pieces I read -- the Seussian horror poem, "Zombifurcation" -- which appears in the latest issue of The Goreletter. ZOMBIFURCATION A zombie crawled right, a zombie crawled left -- both shared the singular body I'd cleft. I'd chopped down his chest, and cut off his scream -- but still he came at me, splitting his seam. He pulled himself toward me in reanimation:…

Anthology Updates

I've finally gotten around to adding an Anthology page to the bibliography here on gorelets.com, and though it's still rudimentary I plan to update it with links and images and more. In the mean time, I wanted to share a few updates about recent anthology appearances, in case you missed the news from the latest issue of The Goreletter. One of the books coming out this month is Drawn to Marvel: Poems from the Comic Books from Minor Arcana Press. I'm really excited to be in this one, as it features a number of really impressive poets to write about…

A Poem on the >Original< Fridge of the Damned

Here's a typical "gorelets" poem...made with virtual refrigerator magnets on the "original" Fridge of the Damned. The fridge has been in cold storage for about a decade...but I thought you'd like to see this. Because -- horror of horrors! -- it's nearly defrosted! And over the next few days you will find out about the surprising rebirth of this damned fridge in 2013! You'll likely be surprised. Mum's the word for now, but for more vague teasers like this, drop by my flickr account for a growing set of photos, and do come back soon. And in the mean time,…

Attack of the Bleu Man Group — Live at Morgantown Poets

Happy Halloween! The Science Fiction Poetry Association has gathered together a number of new readings of poetry related to Halloween on their website, as part of an annual tradition of terror. I've shared a clip from my live reading at Morgantown Poets this past June, which was a lot of fun: "Attack of the Bleu Man Group." This poem, which appears in The Gorelets Omnibus, actually had its very first publication in the form of a musically-enhanced number on this website a few Halloweens ago, which you can still listen to right here. Visit the SFPA Halloween Readings to hear…

Jumping the Zombie Shark!

I saw this (Zombie Sudoku) in a bookstore today.  Had to take a photograph and share with you all.  Sorry it's so blurry.  I was crying a tear for my genre. But really, I should have seen this coming when "hard" sudoku became superceded by "evil" sudoku in many puzzle books.  While technically, "satanic sudoku" should have come next, it was only a matter of time before "zombie sudoku" took the place of that. But I think it would have been much more challenging to release "parasitic sudoku" or maybe "bacterial infection sudoku" instead.  Or maybe just "leech sudoku".  Yeah,…
