Last year, Death’s Head Press’ co-founder, Patrick C. Harrison III, did something pretty amazing. He reached out to a number of authors to write standalone novellas and novels in a genre he coined as “splatter westerns.” A splatter western is a mad hybrid of splatterpunk horror and western genres. In other words, the western would have … Continue reading
While I’ve a couple of weeks to write, I figured the way I can effectively get back into it just after a truly hellacious year (thanks to COVID and all the problems that come with teaching online) is to return to something short and sweet I’d traditionally done here. The empty Amazon boxes everywhere from … Continue reading
You can listen to this thing here. If you’re curious as to what you’re listening to, it’s a radio show hosted by horror author James Longmore and dark poet princess (the most amazing title ever) Xtina Marie, and it’s all about writing and horror…and there’s an 11 questions bit that was fun…and oh, yeah, I … Continue reading
Current Status: Attempting not to let the little things stab my soul. I mean, upon closer inspection, it’s inconsequential really. Life is generally fairly good right now, despite the awful political climate, minor health quibbles (of my own doing), friends’ tragedies and struggles, handymen nonsense, and the reminders that one’s exes are everywhere at once … Continue reading
Match.com Boy, has this site changed since I was last on it back in 2010. Apparently, the company figured out a sneaky way to wrest more money out of their customers. The trick is to completely ignore set preferences just so that, out of desperation, the customer “power(s) up” their profile by paying more money … Continue reading
CONFESSION: I’m going to a dinner gathering this weekend, and I’m just in that sort of antisocial state where I want to go, but I DON’T want to go because…well…people. I mean, I adore the people I’m joining, but it’s just that I’m going to have to do what I really hate doing, which is making conversation. … Continue reading
Too much going on over the past month. Too much and, still, far too little. Just got back from a trip to my old college haunt, Macon, GA. Waiting for the roofer co. to call me back, but here in Florida, everyone has a leaky roof during the storm season. My current goal is to … Continue reading
My publisher has put up a poll on Twitter about the next novels on their 2017 publishing agenda. Show some love to a wonderful small press (they’ve put out some amazing work from some immensely talented folk) and take part in the poll. Keep in mind it’s only up for a little while longer. You … Continue reading
I was twelve when I first watched Blade Runner, unfortunately, on Betamax. We’d a big, boxy TV, the kind without a remote where you had to punch the channels actually on the side of the screen, and you had to do it really hard. It was also a TV that held no cable (never mind … Continue reading
Warning: Slight spoilers ahead for Netflix’s Sense8 Leave it to the Wachowski sisters and the creator of the underrated Babylon 5, J. Michael Straczynski, to develop a superhero series that will never advertise itself as a superhero series probably because there’s no saving-the-world-saving-the-universe grandiosity in play. These superheroes are, above all, incredibly human. You should … Continue reading
