BOUND FOR EVIL is still available. I'm proud to announce that my short story "Mechanix" appears in this limited edition hardcover collection along side tales by Ramsey Campbell, Jeffrey Thomas, H.P. Lovecraft, M.R. James, and Angeline Hawkes, among many others. The anthology includes 66 stories by old pros, talented newcomers, and classics.

The book itself is a fine piece of work; it is leather bound, gold foil stamped, smythe sewn, and a staggering 800 pages with two dozen interior illustrations by Allen Koszowski. Click this link to visit the Dead Letter Press blogspot for up-to-date information on this and other DLP titles.

The Hacker's Source #25 is still available from Eve Blaack Publications. My short story "Guts" appears in this issue along with fiction by Eric S. Brown and Mark Dickinson, and a cover story on the self-proclaimed Wizard of Odd, Marcus Koch, a gruesome special effects talent and director of Rot. Add a tribute to Vampira, indie horror reviews, behind the scenes production interviews, and tons of moxie and you've a got a great little mag deserving of your attention! Check it out now.

Keep an eye out for the next issue, too, including my story "Lady Needs a Hand." It should be available soon!

BOOK OF DEAD THINGS is available from Twilight Tales. Angeline Hawkes and I join the likes of Edo van Belkom, Karen Taylor, Brian Hodge, Yvonne Navarro, Sephera Giron, and others with our new short story "The Mud, the Blood, and the Bones."

This new edition features 39 authors, with 50,000 words of new fiction, bringing this monster of a book up to 125,000 words. Not just another zombie book, this anthology covers so many variations on the "dead things" theme to please the most jaded reader. As Walt Whitman once said: "Nothing can happen more beautiful than death."
