DARK BITES

Here's my review on Books of the Dead Press' recent publication, Little Deaths.  This gorgiosuly wrapped collection of macabre tales is John F.D. Taff's debute launch into what should be a very promising career of leaving behind his nightmares for us to enjoy.   No doubt, John will be a name you will want to keep your eyes on so you can gobble up anything he puts out there. Anyways, here's the review of Little Deaths at Hell Notes .

    Facebook is at it again and this time they've gone too far with a few notable horror authors.  From Rocky Wood's own blog, read his accountment of how faceless Facebook took down his book page after deeming Lisa Morton, Greg Chapman and Rocky Wood's graphic novel, Witch Hunts: A Graphic History of the Burning Times, as having bullying content.   Face book has no right to censor an author's work on these grounds and has gone directly against all of our freedom of speech. Please read Rocky's article and share with evryone you know.

My latest review featuring Steven W. Booth and Harry Shannon's The Hungry 3: At the End of the World is live On Hell Notes' review section.  You can check my review of The Hungry 3 right here .  Feel free to leave a comment and like it if you've read it.  I can tell you right now though, if you plan to read The Hungry 3, you may as well do your self a favor and order all three in the Hungry series at once so you don't have to be like me and wait between books. You can order the book(s) HERE.

In case you missed it, or are sadly oblivious to the many great reviews available at Hell Notes , here's a link to a recent book review written by your's truly: Barry Hoffman's Born Bad in review. For more great stories from Barry Hoffman, or other rare collectibles from his award winning publication company, Gauntlet Press, check out his home page HERE. Stayed tuned for a future interview with Barry Hoffman, coming eventually to a dark corner near you. 

Igor's Lab has just announced a change of casting for DRY BONES, the horror/comedy I discussed with screen writer, co-directer and co-producer Gregory Lamberson HERE. You can read the scoop by clicking Igor's Lab where you can also check out some great stills from the film. Debbie is a well known actor in the horror film industry and has previously collaborated with Greg on his film, Slime City Massacre. Stay tuned as at the end of next month, I travel to the set of DRY BONES and will be reporting first hand what I see, provided I survive the succubus and the horrors she hides.

Let me start off by saying I don't typically do these chain letter survey things.  In fact, I generally do not like them and find them to be  waste of time.  That said, when my friend, Steve Wedel , was kind enough to have thought of me as his next in line to keep this particular one going, how could I say no?  I couldn't because Steve has been a long time supporter of my writing and has always given me his time when I asked for it.  And, rumor has it the man can grow a little long in the tooth and form a blood hungry appetite under the right conditions and one shouldn't mess with that, so, after putting this off for way too long, here goes. Oh, and it seems this survey is meant for book writers and since I don't have a book under way (just plenty of shorts and other smaller projects) for the sake of this survey, I will be referring to my Dark Bites blog..
