Paracinema is my happening and it freaks me out!


Between graduate school, writing the great American novel, and keeping myself sane & healthy (food, shelter, all that jazz) I've neglected my blogging. But good news: I will return in full force some day soon. Until then, feast your eyes on the beautiful cover above.

My essay/article/manifesto "Melodrama in Fast Motion: Beyond the Valley of the Dolls As Not Just Strange but Scathing" will appear in Issue 10 of Paracinema Magazine. You can preorder it here.

Paracinema is easily the most intelligent horror/exploitation/b-movie magazine on the market (it's actually more of a film journal, as they cut out all the crap: "No movie reviews, no music reviews, no toy or action figure news, no book reviews, no filler") and I am thrilled and honored to be a contributor.

For those living in the cooler areas of the country it will also be available in finer independent retailers but I wouldn't delay if I were you: grab your copy online.

Flash Fiction: "Un Ultimo Hombre Lobo"


Yesterday my story "Un Ultimo Hombre Lobo" went live on 52 Stitches.

For those unfamiliar 52 Stitches is run by the awesome Aaron Polson and offers a year full of free stories (one a week) and ends with all 52 collected and published as a physical collection.

This year, should you pick up year 2 when it goes to print, the profits will go to help the late Jamie Eyberg's children.

Great project, great writers, great editor, great cause.
