UPDATES...
Hopefully the anthology I'm editing, THE GRUESOME TENSOME: A SHORT STORY TRIBUTE TO THE FILMS OF HERSCHELL GORDON LEWIS, will be released sometime in early fall. All the tales have been edited, contracts are being sent to the writers, cover art (see below) by Matthew Revert is all done, just waiting on the final funding for the interiors. This will most likely be the final release from my small press, Novello Publishers. More news to follow...
Over the past few months, I've seen a LOT of great films in 35mm at midnight screenings around the NYC area. A full report is forthcoming...
My "blaxploitation" novella, URBAN DEATH SQUAD, is being proofread and cover art will be in soon. This loving tribute to 70s soul cinema is a real labor of love, and I've been having a blast writing and editing it. To be published by Dynatox Ministries, one of the best small specialty presses around.
CHANNEL 79, a bizarro novella I've been working on for a little over a year, is just about finished. Been thinking of changing the name back to its original title, THE SMALL INTESTINES OF LOWER MANHATTAN, despite it taking place mainly midtown. We'll see when the edits are complete. The story is a rant against the self-help movement with some wickedly offbeat outcomes...
Will be spending most of the summer working on my second full length novel, tentatively titled THE DEVELOPMENT. It's about teens living in a small NJ community who are affected by an isolated pond in the nearby woods. I'm six chapters in and ideas are continually changing. Looking forward to creating a truly unusual horror novel (and will be taking advantage of my 4-week vacation from the day job to bang much of it out).
Still tinkering with a tale I nearly finished a while ago titled CHEW TOYS. I'll decide how to finish it once the second novel is done. Still not sure if I want to keep it novella length or (I guess you'd say) short novel length. Like the aforementioned THE DEVELOPMENT, CHEW TOYS has plenty of possibilities, and I may have to write all the extra material to see if it works better as a short novel or even full length novel. Some of my older readers may recall me mentioning a novella about Harvey, the dog who allegedly told the Son of Sam to kill. This is the one about him creating an army of serial killers...
Have a fun and safe summer!
