Shades Snafu
SHADES by myself and Geoff Cooper came out yesterday in mass-market paperback via Poltergeist Press for $10.99.
However, that is not the price you’ll pay on Amazon.
Until this is resolved, please do not buy the paperback from Amazon. Buy it from Barnes and Noble or another online retailer instead.

New Short Story On Patreon
It’s the end of the month, which means it’s time for the monthly short story for $10 Patreon subscribers. This month, I’m doing something a little different, and posting “Do You Remember Where We Parked?” This is a short story that was written in the early-to-mid-90s, around the same time as the rest of the stories collected in my now out-of-print book, No Rest for the Wicked. Unlike those stories, this one was never sold, and remained unpublished, except for a one-time appearance in the rare and out-of-print Apocrypha. I'm presenting it on Patreon now because a lot of you have been asking to see some of those early, ultra-hard-to-find tales. Keep in mind they are the work of a young author who was still finding his voice and still learning to write professionally. In this tale, you’ll find an early glimpse of the Labyrinth mythos, which I was still developing at the time. CLICK HERE TO READ IT.

The Horror Show with Brian Keene Hits 100,000 Listeners
I just got off the phone with Armand Rosamilia, who along with Shelly Rosamilia, is the head of The Project Entertainment Network. I am very pleased to announce that The Horror Show with Brian Keene weekly podcast crossed the 100,000 listeners threshold for 2019.
Thank you to everyone who listens weekly, be it via Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, YouTube, or elsewhere. And also thanks to the folks who have given us five-star reviews in those venues. We owe the show’s success to you.
And of course, thanks to co-hosts Mary SanGiovanni, Matt Wildasin, Dave Thomas (we miss you dude — keep kicking that cancer’s ass), and occasional co-hosts Phoebe and Dungeonmaster 77.1. Thanks also to Armand, Shelly, and everyone else at the network.
And thanks as well to all of the guests and folks who have contributed to the show these last five years — everyone from legends like Stephen King, F. Paul Wilson, Jack Ketchum, and Joe R. Lansdale to all the up-and-coming writers, artists, filmmakers, actors and directors we’ve featured. And also to the celebrities from outside of horror who have appeared to express their love of the genre — folks like Geoff Tate, Xander Harris, Discipline Theory and more.
In just a few weeks, the show will head into its sixth year, and we are quickly approaching our 250th episode. We have all kinds of things in store for you in 2020. the best is yet to come!
Thanks again.
