I’m in awe of all the things Herika is involved in (and does so very well at), and I can add from experience that if you are a … More Guest Post: Herika R. Raymer
This week’s featured author is Herika R. Raymer! I’ve had the fortune of talking to Herika for a few months, and she’s amazingly involved in the writing scene. Writing, editing, and doing work for Imagicopter – she’s involved in it all. I was delighted when she agreed to be interviewed, because I love all the … More Author Interview: Herika R. Raymer
So all month long we’ve talked about creatures, books, music, and some great new titles to really get you in the mood to be scared. Yet, I have a bit of a confession… I was a complete scaredy cat even through my teenage years. Even now, I can’t do gore (unless it’s really campy), and … More Halloween as a professional genre-type person
There’s only one author I could think of profiling this week, the week of horror, the week of Halloween! I “met” Charles Day through my work with Wicked East Press, and he is truly a stand-up guy. Positive, welcoming, and ready to lend support, he is also so active with his chapters of HWA, Evil … More Author Interview: Charles Day
So I have this quirk..I may not completely believe everything that I read, but there’s a part of me that kind of wants to. My grandmother was the same way – very into UFO conspiracy theories and life in outer space. Granted, I’m not so big on that end of the spectrum, but there are … More Monster Monday: Cryptozoology and Real Hauntings
A few things before this Fear Friday is finito (sorry, I couldn’t resist).. It intrigues me that all of the authors today are women. I didn’t intend for the coincidence when I wrote Tuesday’s post, but I think this just proves that the gentler sex can hold their own in horror – and with a … More Fear Friday: Blog of Horrors: NBP Horror in Print!
This week’s author spotlight is of a guy who is not only a fantastic writer, but a very patient beta reader, and a great friend of mine. Please welcome to the hot seat, author Charlie Kenmore! *** SJ: Every writer has some sort of process. Give us a glimpse into yours. Do you meticulously outline? … More Author Interview: Charlie Kenmore
So I’ve been thinking lately about that age-old topic that gets my blood boiling…women and horror. I feel strongly about gender equality in genre, I think that we have a lot to contribute to the dark genres, and when I happened upon an old post about the top 25 women horror writers you’ve never heard … More Thoughts on Women Horror Authors
So, I really wasn’t kidding when I said I wanted to grow up to be Elvira. Horror hosts and anthology shows are things that have always intrigued me. Shows like The Twilight Zone, Tales from the Dark Side, Tales from the Crypt, and on and on…they’re fabulous. Where else can you get such a range … More The full range of horror
Continuing the Dave Creek theme of the week, today I’d like Dave to talk about what future history is and his experience in building one for his worlds. All of my science fiction stories take place within a common “future history.” Such constructions are a long-standing tradition within SF. The term originated with … More Guest Post: Dave Creek’s Future History
