Ask Brian Keene

By -
Hope everyone is enjoying their turkey coma this morning.  Are we comfortable?  Good.  Now get ready for this:

A few days ago I posted a review of Biting Dog Press' limited edition Brian Keen novella  The Resurrection and the Life along with bonus interviews from the author, Dave Dinsmore the publisher and the man behind the extraordinary wood block artistry, George Walker.  You didn't see this?  Have no fear, you can check it out HERE and join the rest of us once you're done.

Okay, now that we are all on the same page, I'll let you in on what Dark Bites has in store.  This Thursday - that's November 29th - at about 8PM EST, I'll be dimming my lights and steeling my nerves as I sit down with multi-award winning horror author Brian Keene who has brought us such wonderful nightmares as The Rising, City of the Dead, Dark Hollow, The Conqueror Worm and a whole lot more than what I can squeeze in this post.

So why should you care when you can just check back here after it's all said and posted?  Because this interview is going down live on Twitter and I want you to be a part of it.  Got a burning question for Brian Keene?  Ever wondered what makes the gears of a master horror master turn?  Want to know the best advice for clawing your way to the top of this game we call writing?  Unburden your curiosities and ask Brian Keene.  Simply post a question - keep it mostly clean, please - and I will select one or two to be asked during our live interview on the 29th.

If you'd like to be a silent fly on the wall, you can follow @BrianKeene and/or @DarkBites (that's me) to be just that.  Please do keep in mind that this won't be an open chat and I must ask that you respectively do not engage in the conversation, though you may feel free to discuss it here in the comments section if you would like, which I encourage.  If you post a question for Brian here while the interview is going on, there's a chance I'll ask it on the fly.

Until then , Dark Bite readers, stay hungry... and stay dark.

LADIES NIGHT: A Free Jack Ketchum Audio Sample

By -
Happy holidays to all!  Despite all the rumors I'm not dead yet.  Between dealing with the aftermath of a minor car accident, being sick and everything in between, I've been keeping a pretty low profile.  Thank you to all who have been continuing to visit Dark Bites despite the absence of new material.  You guys have kept a smile on my face and I have some pretty awesome things planned for the near future.  Lots of reviews and interviews lined up with your favourate authors and film makers as well as some other cool things in the works that I just can't speak of right now. Until then, and as my way of saying thanks to you all, here is an audio sample of Jack Ketchum's Ladies Night, perfectly narrated by the excellent Anthony Mendez.  A special thanks to David Niall Wilson for providing me with the sample.  Once you've enjoyed the teaser, you'll do well to check out the good stuff David's got for you ...

Interviewing Blanche Baker on the role of evil

BLANCHE BAKER SPEAKS OUT ON THE GIRL NEXT DOOR I hadn't intended on re-covering so much of THE GIRL NEXT DOOR.  I've certainly visited this dark place enough times.  But I feel this film carries with it a impact that's as important as ever and because I can't offer you coverage I have without letting you listen in on a conversation I had with Blanche Baker on bringing evil Ruth to life, I leave you with this interview.  You may already know Blanche Baker as a lady who is eclectic in her working life. Her acting experience spans from such memorable roles as Ginny in Sixteen Candles to costarring with Arnold Schwarzenegger in Raw Deal and a plethora of solid characters in between. Taking time off for her family since casting in Dead Funny, Blanche has kept mostly under the public radar since 1995, but with her recent leading role in the controversial Jack Ketchum’s The Girl Next Door film from Moderncine’ as the cruel and subtle Ruth Chandle...

Armand Rosamilia Makes the Call On Zombie Lit - Here To Stay?

Miami Spy Games Is Zombie Lit Dying? Armand Rosamilia I hope not is my short answer. Obviously, everything goes in cycles and zombies are the hot thing right now, especially with The Walking Dead ruling the television landscape. At some point it will jump the shark and be the next vampire backlash craze. In movies we're already starting to see the lame zombie comedies ( Shaun of The Dead was amazing, but not much more) and mediocre cash-ins about zombies. But what about literature? I'm not only a writer but an avid reader. There are many, many great authors I love to read and look forward to their next book. Authors I've mentioned a million times, but they bear repeating because they put out solid zombie tales: Joe McKinney, Mark Tufo, TW Brown, John O'Brien, Dave Jefferys, Ian Woodhead, etc. I've also run into quite a few other writers that keep putting out new ideas in the zombie subgenre without going over the tried and true 'people of ...
