If you’re like me, you prefer your vampires to be blood-drenched rather than sparkly. Well, after quite a few years and much formatting and reformatting, the collected edition of the vampire comic I co-created with Mark Farrugia – Allure of the Ancients: The Key to His Kingdom – has finally been unearthed over at Comixology! AllureContinue reading “Allure of the Ancients: The Collected Edition!”

One of the best parts of the Bram Stoker Awards is that members of the Horror Writers Association get to recommend literary works that they have enjoyed. Some of them end up on the preliminary ballot and then go on further to win an award. I feel that being on this list is an achievementContinue reading “Recommended Reading”

Rocky Wood: A Tribute
There will be a lot of posts and and comments like this about Rocky Wood today. Sadly, this great man of horror and great man all round, has passed away after a four year battle with Motor Neurone Disease. Rocky was not only regarded as the world’s expert on Stephen King, having published several tomesContinue reading “Rocky Wood: A Tribute”
A grunt, a ballerina … and Tom Piccirilli!
Gangsters, guns, a grunt and a feisty girl, all together in a graphic novel one-shot, written by multi-award-winning author Tom Piccirilli. Sounds pretty good, don’t it? Yesterday Short, Scary Tales (SST) Publications announced a new graphic novel project that I will be illustrating – BULLET BALLERINA. Written by the legendary Tom Piccirilli, this is aContinue reading “A grunt, a ballerina … and Tom Piccirilli!”

Tell the best damn story you can
I’m not going to pretend that I know everything about writing and publishing, but since my first publication in 2009, I’ve learned many lessons about the craft. This past week I’ve seen a few authors worrying about the mechanics of publishing, specifically copy-editing and proofreading. This is important, but not as important as STORY. ForContinue reading “Tell the best damn story you can”

Nightmares unleashed!
My debut collection, Vaudeville and Other Nightmares, is now available in paperback from Black Beacon Books! Selecting the 24 tales for this novel-length collection was a challenge, but I feel the tome will provide horror readers a broad scope of dark delights and maybe seed a few new nightmares of their own. The print edition canContinue reading “Nightmares unleashed!”
New words
About a week ago I started drafting a new novel, a sort of haunted-house-from-the-outside-looking-in type story that centres on the neighbouring houses and the people within. The words are flowing rather smoothly, which is very encouraging and I also have that itch where I want to keep writing it, so all things considered, I’m feelingContinue reading “New words”
