utnereader:



Since submarines began roaming the depths in World War I, sailors and oceanographers, who use sonar technology to map seafloor topography and identify ocean life, have regularly run into "acoustic ghosts"—inexplicable bodies of movable mass that sometimes rivaled the size of a city. Every time a theory emerged to explain the phenomenon, however, it was quickly shot down.


In 2003 scientists aboard a research vessel just south of Long Island, New York, discovered that the UFOs were composed of hundreds of millions of fish—massive gatherings on a scale never before documented. Using low-­frequency sonar technology that penetrated hundreds of miles, they identified a school roughly the size of Manhattan.

For those who've read The Wizard Takes a Holiday, and didn't realize how close to reality the Night of Frights setting is…here ya go!


I was just uploading The Wizard to Wattpad, when I noticed they allow you to post a video to your story page.  Pretty cool.  I don't have a trailer for this 1500 word short story, so I did a quick search for a video of my local, very popular outdoor 2-screener.


There are tons of great ones, but this is the best one I found.  Enjoy it!


Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, huh?


BTW, I love being from Indiana.  As much as I like to joke about the 37 year old grandmas and the trucks with the plastic testicles swinging sideways at every stop light, I really do trulymadlydeeply love it here.  So…if you're from another region and you don't understand the dialect, just ask—I'll translate.  :)


Enjoy!  Click the awesome cover by Scary-Art.com's Nicolas Caesar to download The Wizard for free to your Kindle, and see why this sweet little short has been in the Top 50 for the past six months on Amazon.


Or have a quick read online at Wattpad, where I was just uploading it!  That's a fun little site, too.  I'm still having a look around, but I will likely post more samples there.  I saw Ed McNally posted something there recently, and I figured if all the cool kids were doing it, I might as well try, too.  ;)

Do you Squidoo?


I do, too.


Well, not usually, but I did decide that while my computer's down, I'd whip up a page about my favorite dark fantasy finds of 2011.  I linked some some friends of mine there, so if you're a regular reader of this blog, the names won't surprise you a bit.


If you're not, go and check it out—you might find something you like.  :)
