Heilge Tod Blog News

In September I quit my position of being a contributor to Heathen Harvest. My musings on neofolk and martial-industrial music will continue at my Heilige Tod blog.

Recently, I did a review of the new Allerseelen 7" single:

Upcoming will be an article on the band Hands of Ruin and their soundtrack of The Fall of the House of Usher and I will be resurrecting my abandoned Verney 1826 essays.

Misc. Web Writing

I contibuted a blog entry to the Horror Writers Association Halloween Haunts Blog. My article was on the genesis of the Ann Radcliffe Academic Conference and my own personal experiences presenting at cons: http://horror.org/horror-academics-mi...

Conferences and Presentations

This past weekend I was part of a panel on the Swords and Sorcery genre at the Stan Lee LA Comic Book Con. Photos of the panel (along with the convention proper) can be found at the Fanbase Press Facebook gallery: https://www.facebook.com/pg/FanbasePr...

The Ann Radcliffe Academic Conference is still open for CFPs for a few more weeks. If interested, please consider submitting an abstract. Details can be found here: http://stokercon2018.org/the-conventi...

Writing and Publishing News

Michele Brittany and I are currently signing a contract for a new edited anthology that we will be editing together. More details on that later.

The release of the Horror in Space anthology should be occurring very soon. I’m excited for my essay on meteorite-horror films and HP Lovecraft to see publication.

I’ve submitted my chapter on Stranger Things and synthwave music to my editor.

My Neo-Peplum book is still in my publisher’s hands, so updates on that one a little bit later

I submitted a review to the Journal of Graphic Novels and comics.

Upcoming Projects

Working on editing and rewriting my Re-Animator presentation to be a chapter in an book.

I’ve also begun researching material for my next book idea – a possible monograph. Will need to get further along in the research process to determine feasibility, but it if it turns out that it is possible, it will be my first solo endeavor.

I also was an extra in a movie!

That's it for now. See you all in December! (Unless you want to follow me on Facebook or my website at nickdiak.com where I am a but more up to date with my news)
