~ CREEPTYCH

I've got bugs on the brain. Today, The Horror Mall unveiled my new short fiction collection CREEPTYCH. I've been hinting at this one for awhile (I started writing the final piece for the collection last fall).  A three-story collection focused on things with appetite and a lot of legs, this one is available both as an e-book through Darkside Digital, and as a limited edition hardcover chapbook from Delirium Books. I'm particularly excited about the latter edition, as my novelette FAILURE...

~ Turning 44 in 'Frisco!

Last weekend, I flew out to San Francisco for  four days to run a seminar for my dayjob.

The last day of the trip happened to coincide with my birthday,  so I took the opportunity to stay over in the city a few hours on Sunday and walk around a bit and just enjoy my favorite city. (This lollygagging unfortunately meant I got home at 1:30 a.m. early Monday morning, but… it was worth it!)

I got out to San Francisco on Thursday, and after spending a few hours setting up the conference logistics...

~ Signing THE 13TH on the 13th!

Tomorrow night at 6 p.m., I'll be celebrating the eve of my 44th birthday by doing a short fiction reading and booksigning in one of my favorite cities and at one of my favorite bookstores in the country, Borderlands Books, in San Francisco.

Yep, it's another event for THE 13TH on the 13th!

I'll be joined at Borderlands by one of my favorite people — Alice Henderson, who will be signing for her current novel Voracious (if you haven't read this one, pick it up!) so it's sure to be a fun night...

~ Interview with Jeffrey Thomas

[image error]ast week, one of my favorite authors, Jeffrey Thomas, interviewed me for his blog (you can read my responses to his interview here if you're so inclined). It occurred to me while answering his questions that, having read a lot of Jeff's work over the years — and even publishing some of it (in Dark Arts Books' anthology Waiting For October) — I had a few questions of my own to throw right back at him!

Jeff has been publishing dark fiction for more than 20 years, and is probably best known for h...

~ CAGE & FAILURE now e-books

[image error]My first short story collection — in fact, my very first book! — CAGE OF BONES & OTHER DEADLY OBSESSIONS was released in hardcover and limited to 300 signed copies ten years ago now — in the fall of 2000. It was the sixth book issued by Delirium (and the first by the new press to include a dustjacket). 

CAGE OF BONES  included some of my best short erotic horror fiction, but has been out of print for at least eight years now. So I'm excited to announce that the book is now back in print as an ...
