Regarding those pseudonyms

There used to be a persistent-but-ludicrous rumor that I was a pseudonym for Dean Koontz. Publisher Cemetery Dance fielded several inquiries from people regarding this in the past. There was also an equally-ludicrous rumor that Bryan Smith was a pseudonym for Stephen King. Despite the fact that we’ve both built careers for ourselves, and have done a number of public appearances, these rumors still arise from time-to-time.

So Bryan addressed that via Twitter this afternoon…

@CemeteryDance In truth @BrianKeene & I are Hunter Thompson & his attorney returned from hell to wrong rights & drink all the world’s liquor

@BrianKeene @CemeteryDance Savage times demand fearsome resurrections. We were somewhere on the edge of hell when reality began to take hold
