WLA

I’m there in 2020, LA. Distinguished Achievement Award. So cool, such an honor: Also, a cool year-plus before that, I’m keynoting at LSU’s Mardi Gras Conference in February, here. Then over summer I’m . . . let’s see: teaching the second week of Clarion West, GoH’ing at ReaderCon. Oh: and I’m planning to be at […]

Q&A’ing

Just, cleaning up my laptop and found this/below stashed in a tmp directory. It’s echo-ey, sounds like I’m on a stage, maybe? File’s called “GT,” if that means anything. Anyway, what it looks to be: somebody asking me questions about being Blackfeet, writing horror. Or . . . it’s the Q&A from the audience, after

Theo Van Alst in Boulder

Was a great event last night for Theo and Sacred Smokes—for us, really. Packed house, good words, and a lot of laughing. 

The Ghosts of October

October was packed full of good times. I don’t think this is all of them, but it’s all of them I can dig up goods for—or, that I can remember to dig up pics and links for. Started out giving a zombie lecture to an auditorium of people at CU: Then I was at the

Fabulous Skeletal Starchild

Or, what I was for Halloween, 2018 (all thanks to my wife): And, let’s see if I can get this video to work: Anyway, was cool to be one of my rock ‘n roll heroes for a day. First album I ever got? A record. KISS Destroyer.

Midland, Texas

Was there this weekend, giving a couple of talks for Permian Basin Writers’ Workshop. Always neat to walk through places I grew up. And, I realized: when I left Texas, I never considered that one thing I’d been taking for granted all along was Whataburger trash in the bear grass:

October, man, it’s a busy time for horror writers. Wouldn’t have it any other way: And, if lists and links are easier: http://www.milehicon.org https://permianbasinwritersworkshop.org https://www.atlasobscura.com/events/defy-your-demons https://blog.frontrange.edu/2018/10/01/get-your-halloween-on-paranormal-fiction-authors-to-discuss-their-craft-at-frcc/ Oh, and I’m a doing a zombie talk as well, and I’m at Southern Alabama on the 29th, reading and visiting: Hope to see you at one of these.

Noir at the Bar

Was a good time last night. My first time at the Mercury Cafe, too (Boulder people don’t get to Denver too often—it’s weird, I know, but neither do Denver people trek out here to Boulder much either). Meaning, I didn’t know what door to use, meaning: of course I ended up circulating at a wedding

Yog SEA at BookBar

Which you’d think would start here, at 7pm, as the sign says: But, really, I was at Tattered Cover Colfax at 2pm, for a Denver Moon event, which went great, as you can tell: On the way out, I caught My Hero in good company: I so, so dig My Favorite Thing is Monsters. Very

Recent stuff

I used to be better about doing this—collecting snapshots from the last couple weeks or so, stacking them in a post—but I somehow let that drift away. So, maybe this’ll be me starting that up again? Who knows. Anyway, DCC would be in here, but I had to ghost out of all my panels last-minute,

Nine Tonight

Well, 9:00pm some night in February: so, so excited this is back on, and that the tickets I got for the original/cancelled show still work for this one. One of my main dreams has always been to see Seger live. Here’s hoping this Denver concert really happens: Here he is right before he would have

Little House Crossed the Prairie

And made it to me here in Boulder. Amazing-cool, thank you everyone who read it, who voted on it, who dug it. Now if I can just keep from dropping it. I almost just nailed it with a dog-toy, during a furious game of fetch, so it may have to be finding a higher, more

Good Thunder

Was up in Minnesota a few weeks ago, got to talk to some very cool people on the radio:

NALS 2018

Hey, cool—and thanks to David Tremblay for the headsup. Guess I’m  on some page NALS stuff. I’m thinking that snapshot is maybe from a keynote I gave at Isleta Casino couple years back? And here’s that keynote, from when I read it later at IAIA: Stephen Graham Jones from IAIA – Low Rez MFA (video won’t

Jaws on the Water

Hey now, somebody may have just read the moneyshot chapter of a slasher novel I just wrote: http://www.delish.com/food-news/news/a58598/jaws-open-water-viewing-this-summer/

Jaipur Literary Fest vids from the fall

Which I’m just now figuring out exist. This first one’s “On Cultural Appropriation,” with Anne Hillerman, Jovan Mays, Saikat Majumdar, and Yassmin Abdel-Mageid,  Laird Hunt moderating: And this one’s “Ancestral Cultures: Legacy of the First Nations,” with Crisosto Apache, Erika Wurth, and Janice Gould, Margaret Coel modding: Just became aware of these thanks to Bret Smith posting

Bram Stoker Award for Mapping the Interior

Amazing-cool. So honored. Couldn’t be there this time around, but could follow along online, and with people texting. It starts here: Then a zoom in on the night’s proceedings: Then Rena Mason and Victor LaValle presenting for Mapping‘s category, long fiction: And here’s Paul Tremblay accepting, with Mackenzie Kiera behind the camera: Here’s a full

State of the Weird 2018

Hey, check the supercool poster for this—that’s me down in the corner: Was great talking with everybody here. www.thisishorror.co.uk/tod-030-the-state-of-the-weird-2018-a-roundtable-discussion-featuring-david-davis-helen-marshall-stephen-graham-jones-and-sonya-taaffe/
