Ellen Datlow has unveiled her long list of honorable mentions from the most recent volume of her annual Best Horror of the Year series. Three of my stories (“Almost Human,” “The Barghest,” and “Count Brass”) made the list. All of those stories are available in Never Bet the Devil & Other Warnings. In…

How to sum up Crypticon KC? I split a table with the inestimable Sean Demory, who is a gentleman and a scholar. I sold a few books. I got to participate in a guerilla reading, thanks to the generosity of author guests Brett Williams and Alan Ryker. I saw a…

I’m just a few films shy of having seen every movie directed by John Carpenter (most of them lots and lots of times) and in my efforts to finish out the set, I finally got around to watching the 1978 TV movie Someone’s Watching Me! (That exclamation point is in the…

Yesterday, I finally finished the last of my writing obligations for the month of July. It has been a hell of a month, and though a lot of excitement happened in it, I’m happy to see the back side. Soon I’ll have new writing obligations coming down the pipe, but…

I tried really hard not to get too excited about Pacific Rim. I’ve been let down by Guillermo del Toro’s big budget movies before (Hellboy 2, I am looking meaningfully in your direction) and while I love all monsters and grew up on Godzilla movies, the whole kaiju subgenre is no longer…

For a week now, I’ve been trying to think of something to say about the passing of Richard Matheson, and all the words I’ve been able to muster have felt insufficient. Just a few weeks ago, we lost Ray Harryhausen, and the world became a slightly less wondrous place for…

Back from the World Horror Convention and a five-night stay in New Orleans. It was an experience (as is, I am told, getting fried chicken from a gas station, though we didn’t do that, so I can’t speak to it personally). It was a good trip, though also often a…

In about 48 hours, I’ll be in New Orleans for World Horror. This is the first convention I’ve gone to since Readercon in 2009 in which I was not doing anything specific. No readings, no panels, no nothing. I’m just there as a tourist. I may be attending the Bram…
