Honored to have “Raphael,” my first published horror story, included in Paul Tremblay’s list of five horror stories: And, if you maybe like his selections, then you might just also like his collection Growing Things, out tomorrow / July 2nd:
Never thought I’d have the chance to slip into these pages with some fiction, since Fango was dead. But then it came back. And now it’s having it’s 40th Anniversary. And I’ve got a story, “Night Tag,” in THAT issue, out as of . . . either now, or July 1st. Either way, they’re already
Can finally-finally say it without promising whoever I’m telling it to to secrecy, or to somehow post-date this info: sold two horror novels to Joe Monti at Saga! This is the outfit that did Rebecca Roanhorse’s Trail of Lightning. This is the imprint of Simon & Schuster that just moved to the Gallery Publishing Group,
Two words I don’t usually put together, true. More used to seeing my name plus “Come to the office” or “All you can eat” or, with impolitely unsubdued laughter, “Security deposit?” Nevertheless, this is a real live thing: Interview in there, updates, how-to, who-to, where-to, all kinds of stuff. Very cool. Who’d have ever thought,
Maybe . . . #1? I’d guess so. Or maybe it’ll be one summerlong interview. Definitely good for that. Or, for more questions like this:
I answer a couple questions in here, about getting into anthologies. Or, maybe I answer one question for two questions’ worth? Something like that: http://horror.org/private/newsletter/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/2019-March.pdf (just search my name, or, better: read it top to bottom, find me in the midst)
One in-hand, one soon to be: the Guran (Mapping the Interior): https://www.amazon.com/Years-Best-Dark-Fantasy-Horror-ebook/dp/B07HGBQ33K/ the Boop (“Stands Twice and the Magpie Man”): https://www.amazon.com/Straight-Outta-Deadwood-David-Boop/dp/148148432X Too, I keep all these covers, most with links, over on the Anthos page. And, case you maybe missed them, the two just before this, which is the same thing: one in-(my)hand, one on
That original Fantastic Four cover? It’s now Weird Fiction Review #9, with CaitlÃn Kiernan, Victor LaValle, Laird Barron, and, flaming-on, me:
Because I likely won’t remember to give attribution for each link, I’ll just say it here: probably three-quarters of these paleo type links are from a friend, Joe Lansdale (and all the Apple ones are from my wife). Just, don’t want to pretend I have my thumb on all the good pulses. Rather, I know
Which is going to be a movie/TV-heavy list, for the first time ever. Not because my tastes or habits changed—fiction on the page is still and always where it’s at for me—but because, since I’m now judging for the World Fantasy Awards for 2018, it would feel a bit . . . weird and unclassy,
Just in time for late Christmas: reprint over at Nightmare. Originally showed up in October Dreams II, then in Best Horror of the Year 8. And . . . I kind of have a memory of hearing someone do the audio for this, too—read it out loud. Can’t remember where or when, though. Just that
Available now, wherever you get your audio novels. Narrated by Eric G. Dove, of . . . man, check it out: lot of stuff. And now a latterday slasher:
My 2006 novel, not this site. Excited (terrified also) to cue it up. Always good, listening to Livius and Robb:
I used to screencap these into the monthly best-of posts, but when I started doing those as galleries they ended up getting shrunk to illegibility, so I lazily & loserly gave up. So, this is me trying to reverse that: the best articles I’ve been reading, that I can A) still clearly rememberer, and B)
