Dark Jesters up for pre-order

Horror Mall

Do you remember where you were, when you first heard that Ringo Starr had been strangled? Well prepare for a second flash-bulb memory. Dark Jesters: An Anthology of Humorous Horror is now available for pre-order at Horror Mall.

10 authors/10 tales–1000 laughs—a couple of screams! Preorder Dark Jesters, the perfect Thanksgiving Day gift for that creepy uncle who sits too close to you at the dinner table and talks about M*A*S*H characters as if they were old war buddies. Also, a thoughtful last-minute gift for administrative professionals week.

Between the Devil and the Deep + [nautical pun] LOL!

The Bitter End: Tales of Nautical Terror

Hey…psst…are you still awake? I think I wet the bed. Also, my short story Between the Devil and the Deep has just been accepted for publication in the fine, nautical themed anthology “The Bitter End: Tales of Nautical Terror” by the charming haunted house dwellers over at Pill Hill Press. Seriously, this is even better than having my bathroom redecorated with a jaunty nautical theme.

The book is scheduled to be released April, 2010, to coincide with Arbor Day, Sherlock Holmes’s birthday and the sinking of the Titanic – the deadly trifecta of events that led, as well all know, to the birth of Jazz in America – lest we forget. At least, that’s what we must assume.

“Hacks” weasels its way into “Dark Jesters”

My short story “Hacks”, a darkly (really?) comic (is it?) tale of fear, loathing and self-publishing has been accepted by Nick Cato and L.L. Soares of Novello Publishing fame and will make an appearance Summer/Fall 2009 in Dark Jesters: An Anthology of Humorous Horror.

If you are a fan of awful things happening to awful people or enjoy getting together with friends and laughing about people behind their backs as a mean spirited group of miserable bastards who will never amount to anything in this world, you will love this story.
