Night Time Logic. Nov 30th 2016

John and Doug read from their works at NYCs Lovecraft Bar !

October 2016 Appearance in Haverhill, MA library event.

On October 22, 2016 I participated in a great library event run by author Christopher Golden in Haverhill, MA.October was a very busy month of appearances.

Thanks to author Tony Tremblay for the first photo !

I was delighted to spend some time with talented authors and just fantastic people such as Douglass Wynn, Bracken MacCloud, and Craig Shaw Gardner. Thanks to them and to John MacLevin, James Moore and the entire roster for making a New Yorker feel welcome at the event.

I participated in a panel discussion moderated by Bracken MacCloud on the subject of modern monsters. I’m not pictured in the photo as I am taking it. It was an excellent and insightful discussion with creators Josh Malerman, Izzy Lee, Rio Yours, Bracken MacCloud and myself. I knew the panel was going to be great when the first question dealt with my recent favorite movie, It Follows. The event and all the panels were very well attended.

My friend, author Rudi Dornemann presented me with a Godzilla gift as a belated present for the launch of the Night Marchers !

Oh the Horror ! I hosted a HIP Lit Halloween Salon

Halloween weekend 2016 I hosted the HIP spooky salon Oh the Horror !

The event changed to a space called the Muse last minute but what a great venue. The space is a performance-rehearsal space for aerialists and we did all we could to keep authors Nick Kaufmann and John Langan on the ground !

Musical guest Janna Pelle brought the New York vibed music ! Chandler brought her dinosaur hat ! It was a great Halloween thanks to the founders of the HIP LIT salon ! The musical aspect and wide reaching interests of the founders make HIP Lit my favorite literary salon in a city packed full of them !

Chandler, John, Nick, and I read bits of our scary stories for the HIP Lit audience!

October 2016. I participated in a reading of local horror writers in author Tonya Hurley’s annual event .

I was lucky enough to hear horror legend Jack Ketchum read along with Tonya Hurley, Lisa Manetti and others !

I read my short story Red Lights from my forthcoming collection The Wish Mechanics Stories of the Strange and Fantastic due out in 2017 from Independent Legions publishing.

I gave permission for a writing organization to use the video of my reading as part of a promotional video they are creating about the night. I will update when I hear anything further about the video and audio of that performance.

This post is updated to reflect that Morbid Anatomy has closed its doors. I was there at the tail end of the Krampus party when the sign was posted in the window and there when the board members were packing up. Morbid Anatomy was a central hub for so many great communities that I was grateful to have been introduced to. Thank you and RIP. Awaiting news of the resurrection.

I posted what photos I had. A lot of photos were taken that night but none of me reading. These are much more interesting !
