Suppressing the Urge
In the last few days I've been recipient of the Internet phenomenon of instant criticism in the form of user comments. Since Monday (and today is only Wednesday), I've incurred the wrath, scorn and hurt feelings of horror and fantasy/Furry folk.
In conjunction with the release of Pariah, Entertainment Weekly's web edition ran an item in which I recommend the work of some of my favorite contemporary horror writers. Now, maybe the title of the article ("Pariah author Bob Fingerman reveals his...

PARIAH is FANGORIA’S ‘BOOK OF THE MONTH’ selection!
Fangoria bestows their Book of the Month honor to Pariah! I am thrilled. Back in 2007 they also awarded Bottomfeeder the same honor, so I’m two for two. I loves me some Fango!

BEHOLD! MANNA FROM… HELL!!!
Tremble before the double-barreled majesty of these fine zombie offerings! Moses's puny tablet have nothing on the dark delights to be found in not one, but two mighty books, now available for your delectation!

It's beginning to garner some sweet reviews (which I'll be sharing here, soon). The Living Dead 2, edited by ace anthologist John...

Cult Pop Video Interview
Michigan-based Jim Hall interviewed me for his web/cable show, Cult Pop. We talked about recent work like Pariah and From the Ashes, as well as (sigh) my salad days working for Cracked (the magazine, not the new, improved, actually funny website). Jim concept is interesting. Via speaker-phone, Jim interviewed me from his studio, while my end of the conversation was recorded on video in my studio. His director/editor, Jerry Jesion, then put 'em together in post. Very low-tech satellite...

Caustic Cover Critic
I am thrilled to be featured, along with ace cover designer, Peter Lutjen, on James Morrison's fantastic blog, Caustic Cover Critic. I've long featured a link here (and hopefully some of you have taken a gander). It's a wonderful site filled with great and terrible cover art, exhaustively detailed. It's great. Check out the interview with Peter and me.

The Saga of Pariah
Getting a book published is always a triumph, but in the case of my forthcoming novel, Pariah, it's extra sweet. The path from its inception to completion to release was long, convoluted and difficult.
Pariah started off, way back in the mid '90s, as a pitch to Vertigo, DC Comics' more adult/alternative imprint. Back then, graphic novels were still a novelty, and Vertigo hadn't really gotten onboard with GN originals. Sure, they collected serial runs of their comics, but one-off books were...
