Continue reading →: Every House is Haunted
Yesterday, on my bus ride home, I finished Ian Rogers‘ debut collection Every House is Haunted. I’d read it over the last three days, and I couldn’t have asked for better material to close out the Halloween season. Full disclosure, before I get into the meat of this review: Ian and…

Continue reading →: A Halloween Miscellany
Happy Halloween, one and all! I’ve been at work all day, and I’m going to a party this evening, so I’ll keep this short, but it wouldn’t be right to let Halloween go by and not say something. So I’ll give you some seasonally appropriate links. For starters, however you feel…

Continue reading →: -30-
Tomorrow is my birthday. In spite of the subject line up there, I’m actually turning 31. But it seemed appropriate anyway, not only because tomorrow is the 30th, but because tomorrow is the end of my being 30. In some ways, it was a pretty big year for me. Probably…

Continue reading →: “I’m in the goddamn club, aren’t I?”
One of my earliest memories involves Monster Squad. I couldn’t have been less than six years old, because the movie didn’t come out until 1987, but I also couldn’t have been in third grade yet, because the memory takes place in Sedan, Kansas, and I moved away from there in my…

Continue reading →: Two Books
I’ve got two books coming out this year. One of them I wrote, the other I co-edited. I’d be hard pressed to tell you which one I’m more proud of. The first is my debut short story collection Never Bet the Devil and Other Warnings, due out pretty much any day…

Continue reading →: House of Wax (2005)
I really shouldn’t like this movie at all. It’s a not-very-well-regarded entry into a genre that I don’t care for (the mash-up of teen slasher and that backwoods grindhouse Texas Chainsaw Massacre stuff that Rob Zombie is inextricably associated with). And yet, and yet… I love it. The first time…

Continue reading →: Nights in the Lonesome October
The latest issue of the Lovecraft eZine is a tribute to Roger Zelazny’s A Night in the Lonesome October, and it features my story “The Blackbird Whistling, or Just After.” Roger Zelazny isn’t quite the fabled “writer who made me want to become a writer,” but discovering his work marked maybe…

Continue reading →: Hitch
Up until about a week ago, I’d never seen an Alfred Hitchcock movie. I know that this is something that’s difficult to believe, but I assure you that it’s true. It certainly wasn’t on purpose. I hadn’t gone out of my way to avoid them, and, in fact, for the last…

Continue reading →: Longview Lit Festival
This Saturday, I’ll be at the Longview Literary Festival in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. I attended last year, and had a surprisingly good time, though I did end up giving a reading to an empty room. I’m scheduled for another reading this year (at 12:30), so hopefully that won’t happen again. I’m…

Continue reading →: The Hole (2009)
So, instead of the presidential debate, I watched The Hole last night. (I think I got the better deal.) For those who haven’t heard about it (possibly from me) already, The Hole is a bunch of bad title-related jokes waiting to happen the first feature-length film from Joe Dante since 2003’s Looney Tunes: Back…
