Andersen Prunty's Blog

I now have a forum, hosted by the swell folks at Horror Mall. If you want to talk about my books, have questions for me, or just want to troll for internet skank, this is the place. If you don't have an account, make one! And remember to read and follow the rules, kids, the world is a dark and brutal place...

The prologue to the actual story called, "A 3-Legged Dog Dying of Cancer," (forthcoming) here are some photos from the 2009 BizarroCon in gloomy yet still scenic Portland, Oregon:

Link to photos because there are just too many to post here...

Two announcements, entirely unrelated to BizarroCon, are coming soon. Stay tuned...

I'm scheduled to be on The Funky Werepig, hosted by seductive Blood Lord Greg Hall, Sunday, November 8 at 9PM EST. Call in or listen from home or listen to the podcast at a time that's more convenient. I will probably mumble, then overenunciate, and use a lot of sentences that trail off without ever actually ending. Sound exciting? Here's the link:

My novel, The Beard, is now available as a trade paperback.

Here's a description for it:

Seven-year-old David Glum watches as his grandfather is abducted by a legendary herd of elephants. Twenty years later, after failing to sell his novel to a New York publisher, David returns to his parents' home to focus on growing a beard, a goal he feels sure he can accomplish. Once the beard reaches a respectable girth, uncontrollable things begin happening around him. His mother dies… maybe. His father ...

The Sorrow King lettered edition is now up for pre-order. I'm working closely with the publisher (Cargo Cult Press) to make this a very interesting offering.

Also, there are still copies of the limited edition available. The pre-order period will probably end in a couple of weeks.

And while you're at Horror Mall pre-ordering all of my fantastic, can't-live-without books, you should think about registering for The Haunt. The Haunt is a social networking site with an emphasis on horror books and ...

I realize that, other than The Sorrow King promotions, my blog has been kind of blah lately. It's been a busy summer. My wife and I took a road trip out to the Stokers in Los Angeles, which was great. Then we took the kids to Florida. Also great. Except for the douche who ran his truck into ours (see photos). Went to the Context convention in Columbus last weekend. It was a hundred percent better than last year. Around this traveling, I've been going to my 40-plus hour a week day job and writ...

I will be at Context in Columbus next weekend. I will be on a bizarro-themed panel along with D. Harlan Wilson and Nicole Cushing. D. Harlan will be there promoting his latest book, Peckinpah.

I'm also extending my Sorrow King contest until Thursday (the day before Context). You can read an excerpt HERE.
