HORRIFIC CONFECTION soon to be consumed forevermore

I only have ten print copies still available of my very first full-length poetry collection, HORRIFIC CONFECTION, so I thought I'd send out a little heads up to potentially interested parties who may have been delaying their gratification for some strange sexual reason or putting off its acquisition until the time was right. The time is RIGHT NOW, dark dumplings!

what is this, a pie eating contest for anorexics?

I'm very pleased that I've almost completed a new designer vagina!

I had kind've thought I had lost the impetus or inspiration for that series, but now it's back and I'm pretty happy about that. The latest piece includes the line, 'What is this, a pie eating contest for anorexics?'

Speaking of force feeding, I've been experiencing more than usual weird bad dreams lately. I don't feel like talking about all of them, but here's a small synopsis of sorts of two.

bloody local color and new news

Check out my new local content in new Columbus-based ezine The Outer Belt. It's another article about CutThroat Entertainment and their upcoming horror film BREAK, but a little less promotional and a little more informative, entertaining, and bloody. My article is the last piece in this issue, pages 42-45
