July – August 2017 Writing/Projects Recap

Happy Friday evening everyone! The autumn season is upon us, the summer has ended. I hope everyone had a great one?

July was spent recovering from my surgery, but also working behind the scenes on quite a few writing projects.

Writing News

Since turning in my manuscript for the Neo-Peplum book, that is more-or-less out of my hands now. However, the publisher did release the covert art, and I do think it is awesome: it has The Rock from Hercules right on the cover! So, check out the Goodreads page for it here:

Write now I am drafting a proposal for a joint book with Michele, and gathering prelim info for a few other book proposals. However, I still have plenty of other projects on my plate now that I need to finish up before moving onto my next big project I spearhead.

Academic News

Michele and I are still accepting proposals for the Ann Radcliffe Academic Conference for StokerCon 2018. Information on that can be found here:

Fanbase Press News

I had quite a bit of activity with Fanbase Press these past two monsths.

First, I did a review of the Lovecraftian anthology, The Children of Gla’aki, which can be found here:

Heilige Tod News

I did a minor essay for my neofolk blog. The day after Tobe Hooper passed away, I did up a nice article about him and his contribution to martial-industrial music by way of Laibach sampling his film, Lifeforce. That can be read here:

Current Projects

I just attended Long Beach Comic Con and my panel coverage has already been published at Fanbase Press. But since that was in September, I’ll have that up on that blog.

A review of an Allerseelen single was submitted to Heathen Harvest back in early August, waiting for it to publish.

Working on my essay for synthwave/Stranger things.

Working on redoing my Re-Animator presentation into book form.

Working on a book review for the Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics.

Working on an article for my neofolk blog on martial-industrial, cinema, and alternate soundtracks.

Plus, other things as they pop up.

Thanks for stopping by!
