Click on through to the other side to find a new contest on The Goreletter weblog.  I'm running a free book giveaway to the top five "pithy morbid thoughts" submitted on the site. 

I've been getting a number of messages asking what's new; I've been pretty busy lately with work on campus (I teach full time and our department is going through a lot of changes at present).  Summer has just begun for me, though, so I'm catching up with a lot of writing I've promised to publishers and to myself, and some other things are starting to come out here and there that I think are worth announcing. 

For instance, a new chapbook is being published this month in France:  Skull Fragments.  This will be a bilingual French-English edition (translated by Jerome Charlet) of the lead story from my flash fiction collection, 100 Jolts.  A very unique item! 




Bare Bone magazine has just come out with their final issue (an anthology available from Raw Dog Screaming Press), and I'm proud to appear in there with a sick little poem.  BB is here on myspace. 

I'll add a link to He Is Legend below, in case you missed it. My sequel to Matheson's "Born of Man and Woman" is in there, illustrated by the great Harry O. Morris.  This anthology is beyond words... it's an amazing treat for any fan of Matheson.  Get it before it's gone!

More publication news will perpetually appear over on my weblog, The Goreletter.  Drop by and subscribe, please, so we can keep in touch.

Morbidly yours,
