The Black Guide & The Beautiful Playlist

The Black Guide mysteriously–and often with fatal consequences–appears in a few of my stories. Some have compared it to the much more infamous Necronomicon, but that’s not quite right. It’s simply a guidebook, a traveler’s almanac to quaint and curious destinations. I was sitting around drinking with Paul Tremblay and John Langan a few years ago and one of us came up with the idea for the book and how it would be featured by each of us in various stories. So if you keep an eye peeled, you just might find hints of it in work you’d least expect.

Meanwhile, Paul put together a project with students in his high school writing club wherein everybody contributed an entry for The Black Guide. It’s damned cool.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My industrious comrade also sets my new collection to music with The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All Playlist. Paul knows his music. And, just like Paul, it’s not safe for work.
