~ Letting Go read in Polish!

I was pretty psyched this week when Replika, my Polish translation publisher sent me a link to a YouTube performance of my short story "Letting Go"…  in Polish. It sounds great — now if I just understood what the reader was saying

Check the audio reading out now via YouTube. Replika did it to promote the Polish translation edition of my 3rd short fiction collection NEEDLES & SINS, which is being released in Poland this month (the name translates there as IGLY I GRZECHY. (NEEDLES & SINS was originally issued by Necro Publications here in the States in 2007).

~ San Francisco

I don't know what it is about this city, but something here calls to me. I've spent more time here than almost anywhere besides my home in Chicago, some by choice, some for work. I've set two novels just north of here, and a short story that I wrote about the Tenderloin district was on the Honorable Mention list of the Year's Best Fantasy & Horror a few years ago.

Tonight I walked through the Tenderloin on the way back to my hotel to pack and leave, and I gotta say, during the whole walk back ...

SIREN released! Contest! Tour!

[image error]My fourth novel, Siren, is now available in mass market paperback as a featured August release from Leisure Books!

I'd say it's "available in bookstores everywhere" as I have with my previous novel releases, however, as it's turned out… that's not quite the case. It is available through bookstores everywhere, however, you'll have to look for this one a little harder than past releases to find it on shelf, and possibly might need to ask your local store to order in a copy for you (or just g...

~ SIREN hardcover unveiled!

This week, the limited hardcover edition of Siren, my fourth novel, went up for pre-order from Bad Moon Books. (click on the cover art to see a larger version)

If you want to reserve a copy, give me a shout or follow this link to its page on The Horror Mall. I am really excited about this book… it's a little bit of a departure for me, as it's the first of my novels NOT to feature demons and ritual sacrifice LOL!

Both the limited edition (green) art and the cover for the Leisure Books mass...

~ Meeting Ramsey Campbell

I bought my first Ramsey Campbell novel, Ancient Images, over 20 years ago. I loved the perfect combination of mystery and dread it displayed, with a classic celluloid theme as a backdrop.

This weekend, I not only got Ramsey Campbell to sign that well-worn book, I took him and his wife Jenny to dinner on behalf of Hypericon, a Nashville Convention where he was the guest of honor.

You can see much of the gang that accompanied us to that dinner in the pic at the right, which shows Ramsey on the f...

~ CREEPTYCH to Hypericon

Last Saturday, when I got home from taking my son Shaun to his first Chicago Cubs game (where my Cubbies trounced arch enemies the St. Louis Cardinals!) I found a box sitting on the porch from Delirium Books.

I cracked the tape open to find a stack of my new mini-hardcover short story collection CREEPTYCH. A three-story collection of "buggy" stories, this book is close to my heart, as it resuscitates the mothballed Delirium hardcover chapbook format (which my novelette FAILURE launched four...
