Continue reading →: “I want to creep and creep and creep.”
TCM runs a really excellent movie ‘blog called Movie Morlocks (just from the name you know it’s good), where they post about all sorts of stuff, including, frequently, old horror movies. Today Richard Harland Smith posted a really interesting post about “creeps.” Before I go on, go ahead and read the…

Continue reading →: Ti West vs. the Unknown
Over the last couple of weeks I saw three of Ti West’s horror films; House of the Devil, The Innkeepers, and The Roost. (I’m interested in the man’s work, obviously, but not enough so to get me to watch Cabin Fever 2, sorry.) All three had things to recommend them, though…

Wow. Well, so, this week. It’s been a week. Tempting as it is to blame the slush picking up, or my recent illness putting me behind at everything, I think it’s been a week for pretty much everyone I know, so maybe there’s just something in the air. Anyway, I…

Continue reading →: Notes from the Slush
Well, we’re a little over halfway through the open reading period for Fungi, the anthology that I’m co-editing with Silvia Moreno-Garcia. If you’ve still got fungus stories to send in, you’ve got until February 15th to get them to us. (See the guidelines here.) In the meantime, I’m going to…

Continue reading →: Fungal Infection
Fungi, the anthology of fungal fiction that I’m co-editing for Innsmouth Free Press, opened to submissions on Sunday, and on that very same day I came down with a bad cold. Coincidence? Probably, but it’s pretty inconvenient all the same. Nevertheless, I don’t think I’ve fallen too far behind on…

Continue reading →: The Curse of the Forgotten Fedora
I forgot my hat when I left the house today, which was an unusual and discomfiting experience for me. As such, I of course posted about it to various social media, explaining how, if I were a character in a turn-of-the-century book, this would be indicative of panic or emergency…

Less than a week to go before the start of the open reading period for Fungi, the anthology of weird fungal fiction (guidelines here) that I’ll be co-editing with Silvia Moreno-Garcia for Innsmouth Free Press. (The open reading period is January 15th through February 15th, in case you missed it.) I’ve…

Continue reading →: Another Story
My story “Black Hill,” which originally appeared earlier this year in Historical Lovecraft, has now been revived in audio form thanks to the fine folks at Pseudopod. Longtime readers may recall that Pseudopod previously did an audio version of my story “The Worm That Gnaws” and knocked it completely out…

Continue reading →: On Fungi
On the heels of the Fungi anthology guidelines, my co-editor Silvia Moreno-Garcia has made a post about what she’d like to see in the slush, and I figured it would behoove me to attempt something along similar lines. Mine will probably ramble more than hers, and be less immediately helpful…

Continue reading →: Free Story!
My story “The Reading Room” was originally published in Bound for Evil, edited by Tom English. It went on to get me my first-ever honorable mention from Ellen Datlow, and the anthology itself was nominated for a Shirley Jackson Award, so it’s a story I’m pretty proud of. It’s also…
