Hell Notes Reviews Interloper

By -
Hope you all had a fantastic weekend.  To kick things off nice and easy this week, here's a review of mine recently published by Hell Notes.  Interloper is a prequel to Barry Hoffman's Born Bad series.  It's a fast, mean read so I hope you check it out.  Currently, I'm reading Barry's Stoker nominated first published book in the series, Born Bad, so you can expect an upcoming review of this as well.

While we're on the topic of reviews, I am also enjoying some intense "quickies" with John F.D. Taff's (with all those initials, he must be British, right?) collection of short tales entitled Little Deaths, published by the fine folks at Books of the Dead.  Suffice it to say I am looking forward to completing this and reviewing it along with a short story by John Paul Allen called House Guest that's still swimming around in the murky waters of my brain.

Also, as a Dark Bites first, author and dark anarchist in general, Armand Rosamilia, will soon be stealing the show and supplying us with his brand of world domination for a day, so you won't want to miss that.

Until next time, 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 ...
