The Horror Fiction Review: June 2009… (Now Posted!)

THE HORROR FICTION REVIEW is now up.  Horror author and book reviewer, Nick Cato (Novello Publishers), has now put up the book reviews for June 2009.  It’s a delightful little site and I highly recommend checking them out.  If you scroll down, you’ll find a positive review of my debut collection FRESH BLOOD in-between authors Jack Kilborn and Louise Bohmer.  The site also has an interview with Robert Dunbar.

It’s the Summer of Horror! No, not just Fresh Blood signings and book promos.  If you happen to be in the Brooklyn, New York City area between now and September on a Saturday evening, hop on the subway.  You might just be interested in checking out a couple of old-school movies at The Coney Island Museum.  The Coney Island Film Society presents: “SUMMER OF HORROR!”

Sam’s Dot Publishing: “Convention Calendar Early 2009…”

This comes a little bit late, but Sam’s Dot Publishing books and magazines will be available at the conventions just below.  Aoife’s Kiss, Beyond Centauri, Sounds of the Night, Champagne Shivers, and more! I would say once the April conventions hit, you can ask for FRESH BLOOD (my latest collection).  It should be available then.  They publish a whole array of wonderful periodicals, novellas, and other genre fare.

As for myself, due to the recent woes of the U.S. economy, I probably won’t be leaving the Northeast anytime soon.  But I will be walking the floor of this year’s FANGORIA Weekend of Horrors.  If you see me, stop me.  Say hi.  I’ll be representing a bunch of publishers and handing out free merch! Also, now that the weather is getting nicer, I’ll be attending book fairs and book festivals, and hopefully the odd reading or two. 

More to come.

The Ashen Eye, June 2008… (acceptance)

My latest acceptance comes to The Ashen Eye, which is a fairly new webzine combined with a blog component.  The sole purpose: promotion and exposure for the budding horror author.   Not just a great chilling tale.  The design is pretty creepy, too.  I can see this one going places in time, as webzines uploaded with blogs now through Wordpress and others seem to be one of the latest things to hit horror fandom.  They also plan on releasing a print version later on this year.  The publication is edited by Bas de Jong.

THE ASHEN EYE

Fiction line-ups include: Jim Kelley, David Price, Greg Schwartz, Lorne Dixon, Alexis Child, Barry Wood, Aquilla Rage, Troy Barnes, David Byron, and Ben Eads among others.

Edited to Add: I have good news.  I might be appearing in their premiere “print” issue.  This will happen some time between late June and early July 2008.  I will keep everyone updated.
