New and Pending Interviews

If you happen to read Greek, check out the new interview with Jack at Vakxicon!

Also, Jack will be appearing on Jackalope Radio, Saturday night at 10pm ET.

Stoked

The Stoker Awards are upon us, and I’m Not Sam is nominated for “Best Long Fiction.”

Co-authored with LuckyMcKee, I’m Not Sam delves deep into the mysteries of identity and how well we truly know one another.

“You’d expect nothing less from the provocateurs behind The Woman, whom you can almost hear giggling in the background at the reader’s discomfort. An epilogue provides some concrete answers—and delivers a well needed climactic kick.”

— Booklist, Daniel Kraus

You can pick up I’m Not Sam in a variety of flavors: hardcover and (new!) eBook from Cemetery Dance, and trade paperback from Sinister Grin Press.

“Now I’m way beyond confusion.

Now I’m scared.

I’ve slid down the rabbit-hole and what’s down there is dark and serious. This is not play-acting or some waking bad dream she’s having. She’s changed, somehow overnight. I don’t know how I know this but I sense it as surely as I sense my own skin. This is not Sam, my Sam, wholly sane and firmly balanced. Capable of tying off an artery as neatly as you’d thread a belt through the loops of your jeans.

And now I’m shivering too.

In some fundamental way she’s changed…”

Mail Order

Jack’s short story Mail Order has been adapted for film by Eric Shapiro, and is now playing on Fangoria!

You must be 21 to view it.

Stay tuned after the film for  Inside the Plain Brown Wrapper, a behind-the-scenes featurette with Jack, the filmmakers, and cast.

Offspring

Offspring is now available once again via Amazon’s 47North Imprint in both a Kindle Edition and Paperback.

“The local sheriff of Dead River, Maine, thought he had killed them off ten years ago—a primitive, cave-dwelling tribe of cannibalistic savages.  But somehow the clan survived. To breed. To hunt. To kill and eat. And now the peaceful residents of this isolated town are fighting for their lives…”

 

 

re: The Lost on Chiller…

DO NOT watch The Lost on Chiller. Chris Sivertson’s film was fearless — they’ve cut the language so much that a lot of it is literally unintelligible. Why cut “shit” and not “sonovabitch?” Never mind “fuck”. I wrote the thing and I can’t understand what they’re saying half the time. Fucking cowards!
