A Truly “Black” Friday

Longtime friend and online horror bookseller Shocklines.com is in the process of closing down and selling off its remaining stock, and today they announced a terrific 50% discount on all their remaining Raw Dog Screaming Press titles (which include not only some of my own books, but also great works by Scott Thomas, Jeremy C. Shipp, John Edward Lawson, D. Harlan Wilson, Forrest Aguirre, Ronald Damien Malfi, Matthew Warner, Amy Grech, and more)!
Go to the RDSP publisher page at shocklines.com, put as many titles into your cart as you want, and use the following coupon code during the checkout process to get 50% off these items:  RAWFIFTY Only good while supplies last — and supplies are very limited!
 If you haven’t been to Shocklines in awhile, check out their new front page.  They may be closing up shop, but they’re also starting a new pursuit: a horror film series in New York!

Video: Fearzone Reading at Zombiefest

At the Zombiefest convention last month, the good folks at FearZone.com took me to a quiet corner of the mall, held a camera to my head and demanded an exclusive reading of some short shorts.  They’re posting the film on their site tomorrow to slather your Thanksgiving holiday in horror gravy.  Here’s an advanced screening

Happy Turkey Choppin’, boys and girls!  Don’t forget your MyBlade.

For my masochistic writer friends doing the NaNoWriMo: Dr. Wicked has posted WRITE OR DIE — an online tool that will annoy you or eat your text if you start slacking!

Now Available: Horror Library Vol. III

The anthology, Horror Library Vol. III, is now available from Cutting Block Press. Featuring stories by Bentley Little, Gary Braunbeck, Matt Warner, Cullen Bunn, Jeff Strand, and many many more, this is a book of stories that you won’t want to miss. If you don’t believe me, visit the publisher, who offers a generous sampling of the first two pages of every story online for free. Even an advanced peek at my story, “Guarded” is available!

Speaking of “Guarded,” I read that story at an author’s event at Zombiefest 2008 this past Halloween, and an audio recording may soon be podcast at the Library of the Living Dead. Keep your ear canals open for it in the weeks ahead.
