LAST WEEKEND, I FLEW out to San Francisco for four days to run a seminar for my dayjob. The last day of the trip happened to coincide with my birthday, so I took the opportunity to stay over in the city a few hours on Sunday and walk around a bit and just enjoy my favorite city. (This lollygagging unfortunately meant I got home at 1:30 a.m. early Monday morning, but… it was worth it!)…
TOMORROW NIGHT at 6 p.m., I’ll be celebrating the eve of my 44th birthday by doing a short fiction reading and booksigning in one of my favorite cities and at one of my favorite bookstores in the country, Borderlands Books, in San Francisco. Yep, it’s another event for The 13th on the 13th! I’ll be joined at Borderlands by one of my favorite people — Alice Henderson, who will be signing for her current novel…
LAST WEEK, one of my favorite authors, Jeffrey Thomas, interviewed me for his blog (you can read my responses to his interview here if you’re so inclined). It occurred to me while answering his questions that, having read a lot of Jeff’s work over the years — and even publishing some of it (in Dark Arts Books’ anthology Waiting For October) — I had a few questions of my own to throw right back at…
JEFFREY THOMAS, one of my favorite authors (and probably best known for his Punktown novels) put me under the interview inquisition spotlight this week, and just posted the resulting interview – complete with pictures! – here: http://punktalk.punktowner.com/?p=517 I’ve had a few things I’ve wanted to ask Jeff over the years though… so be looking for a turnabout interview to appear here soon!
MY FIRST SHORT STORY COLLECTION — in fact, my very first book! — Cage of Bones & Other Deadly Obsessions was released in hardcover and limited to 300 signed copies ten years ago now — in the fall of 2000. It was the sixth book issued by Delirium (and the first by the new press to include a dustjacket). Cage of Bones included some of my best short erotic horror fiction, but has been out…
THIS WEEKEND, I’ll be signing The 13th in Cincinnati! My trip to Cincinnati a couple weeks ago was postponed due to a snowstorm, but now’s the time! Tomorrow I’ll be on the road to Cincinnati to sign at the Barnes & Noble at Newport on the Levee on both Friday and Saturday nights from 7-10 p.m. In between, on Saturday afternoon, I’ll be signing at the Barnes & Noble at the Streets of Westchester from 2-5 p.m. If you’re in Cincinnati,…
DIABOLICAL RADIO will interview me tonight at 9 p.m. Central. Drop by and say hi if you’re around – they have a chat and call-in feature.The link and info is here: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/diabolicalradio/2010/01/28/john-everson
THE BOOK TRAILER for my 3rd novel The 13th will be shown at the B-Movie Madness 2 Film Festival this Saturday! I’m really looking forward to hanging out at the fest all day, signing some books and seeing the trailer up on the big screen. Not only that, I’m really psyched to see Kevin Tenney, the director of Night of the Demons and Brain Dead, who will be doing a Q&A there since they’re showing…
MY FIRST SIGNINGS of the New Year were supposed to be in Cincinnati / Newport, KY this weekend on Friday and Saturday… but I’m afraid the 8-12 inches of snow that’s falling in Chicago right now has forced a postponement of that… driving 5 hours through Illinois and Indiana tomorrow morning is probably NOT a good idea at this point. Especially in a rear-wheel drive Mustang. But the good news is, I’ve rescheduled those stops…
I AM PROUD TO ANNOUNCE a new affiliation between the John Everson ~ Dark Arts site and the Dark Chicago network of horror-oriented websites! You’ll notice the Dark Chicago banner now on the main menu pages across my web site; give one a click and check out all of the dark stuff seeping out of the Windy City. There’s an impressive lot of dark culture here! Spearheaded by Chicago horror artist Chad Savage, the Dark Chicago portal of…
