Night Terrors at the Musuem of Morbid Anatomy

On October 20th I was one of the readers at the Night Terrors annual reading at the Museum of Morbid Anatomy in Brooklyn. Thanks go out to James Chambers for organizing the event. And to Tonya Hurley for reading from Hallowed and setting up a Horror Movie themed spread for all the guests ! The night was great. The readers and the audience had a lot of fun and were very enthusiastic ! I read from my short story An American Ghost in Zurich for the first time and it was great to receive such kind feedback from not only my friends in attendance but fans of horror who had come out on a Tuesday night to hear something new. Thank you ! The Museum is a friend to the Horror Writers Association and to us. As a non profit they rely on membership to keep their doors open and keep bringing events like this one and so many others to the community. I’m a proud new member. See you next year if not sooner…

I’m now a member of the Musuem.

With authors James Chambers and Tonya Hurley.

With authors Tonya Hurley and Trevor Firetog. And Tonya’s werewolf stole !

Always something curious to find at the Musuem.

What a great crowd !

With the HWA at New York Comic Con 2015

I had a chance to work at the HWA booth at NYCC 2015. The best part about it was sharing the HWA’s mission to readers of books and dark fiction among the hundreds of thousands of people at the Javitz Center ! I got to hear what kinds of books and stories readers are excited about and let them know what the HWA is doing. Things like Stoker Con, the Bram Stoker awards, the Mentor Program and more. My mentee Jason Sileo was there talking horror and recruiting for the HWA. I spoke to a lot of aspiring writers and even some luminaries. Legendary editor Ellen Datlow was there for three days signing her many books and giving away free copies of The Best Horror of the Year Volume Seven. I’ve been lucky enough to meet Ellen over the years at her Fantastic Fiction reading series but I am always excited to see her and learn from her. It was so great to see hundreds of excited readers have a great gateway into the best horror out there by being introduced to Ellen’s books. Jonathan Lees worked the podium like a soldier and recruited interested people both cosplayer and civilians alike for the HWA. Yes there were people wearing dresses made of comics. And my favorites Fury Road Furiosa cosplayers ! And everyone was excited to be there. Excited about pop culture ! Excited about this mad crazy art and creators who converged in NYC ! I’m grateful I got to be a small part of it. Trevor Firetog, Patrick Frievold and James Chambers worked their asses off promoting horror and answering questions from all who asked. They tirelessly promoted the books of HWA members and autographed quite a few of their books too ! It really was great spending time with them. Thanks HWA ! Thanks NYCC ! And thanks to NYC ! My daily writing sessions have been that much more motivated by you and your enthusiasm !

A Night of Music and the Cosmic at KGB bar !

Thanks to everyone for making the September 30th 2015 reading at KGB bar a success ! It was great seeing friends new and old and colleagues there but even better at how many faces I did not recognize. It was great to help launch Savage Beasts and I’m pleased at the feedback and reviews my story An American Ghost in Zurich has been receiving! Thanks to KGB bar for hosting us. And to readers Nick Kaufmann and James Chambers ! I hope to bring you more Night Time Logic events soon !

Merrimac Book Festival

Thanks to Christopher Golden and his team of volunteers for putting on the Merrimac Book Festival on October 3, 2015 ! I signed copies of Savage Beasts and The Yeti’s Hand for readers. Joe Hill was there signing books and participating in panels to the delight of everyone present. Highlights for me were Sarah Langan. And taking a photo with Kelly Link !
