Transgressive Horror
I’ve got an essay in the forthcoming book Transgressive Horror: Reflections on Scare Films That Broke the Rules. It’ll be out on Halloween if all goes well. My essay is on one of my personal favorite films, Night of the Demon, and it dives into some of the reasons I love it so.
Editor and Ghost Show Press maven Prof. Christopher McGlothlin, had this to say:
The Everyone’s Gone to the Movies series presents writers of diverse background and experience to share their knowledge, wit, smarts, fun, and passion about movies that stand out from the infinite digital choices; films that expand the boundaries of our minds and imagination. Cinema has an unmatched power to entertain and enlighten, and we invite our audience to join us: “Buy the ticket. Take the ride.”
The Jewish Book of Horror in Publishers Weekly
Lo and behold, that venerable institution Publishers Weekly has taken the time to review The Jewish Book of Horror. They even called out my story as a highlight. I am beyond pleased.
You can read the review here. Don’t worry, it’s short.
Five For Writing
A long time ago, back when giant ground sloths roamed the earth and you had to code HTML by hand to update your web page. I used to run a series of interviews with writers on this site. The series was called Five For Writing, because I cannot resist a pun and a sports joke at the same, and featured short, five question interviews with writers of fiction, video games, and tabletop RPGs. It ran for a couple of years and I had a lot of fun doing it, but the upkeep became onerous and I let it lapse.
But what goes around comes around, and it’s time for Five for Writing to return. I’ll be starting the series back up in the very near future. Interviews are already lined up with writers like Jeff Strand, Anna Megill, Lucien Soulban, Maurice Broaddus, Justin Achilli and more. So once again you’ll get answers to all sorts of questions from all sorts of writers. I’m really looking forward to it. I hope you are, too.
