THE FAMILY TREE, my eighth novel, debuts on October 7th from Samhain Publishing! There are actually a few copies out in the world already… we sold some pre-release copies at the Samhain Publishing booth at HorrorHound Indianapolis a couple weeks ago, and tomorrow night, it will have its Chicago debut at the Chicago Horror Film Fest, where I’ll be a guest. The first review, from Horror Fiction Review, says: “THE FAMILY TREE has a typical…
WHAT DO Stephen King and John Everson have in common? Qualia Nous! THIS WEEK MARKED a pretty big milestone for me. A new original story of mine called “Voyeur” (written early this spring) appears in a new anthology — Qualia Nous — which also includes stories by William F. Nolan (author of many Twilight Zone scripts as well as Logan’s Run) and … Stephen King! I’ve published a lot of stories in lots of books…

LOOK WHAT CAME in the mail today, all the way from France! A copy of MYTHOLOGICA, a special preview “Issue 0” edition of a new gorgeously illustrated trade paperback-size French magazine. It features a translation of my story “The Strong Will Survive,” which was originally published in Space & Time magazine and then in my collection Needles & Sins. Huge thanks to Thomas Bauduret for buying and translating it for this release. Thomas also has…
LOOK WHAT ARRIVED in the mail — my first book — now in paperback for the first time ever!!! CAGE OF BONES & Other Deadly Obsessions was originally released as a limited edition hardcover by Delirium Books 13 years ago… but it has never had a trade paperback release until now. I have always felt bad that CAGE OF BONES never came out in a paperback version when it was originally released. It was my very…
BACK IN 2006, my novelette Failure launched a “hardcover chapbook” line for Delirium Books. I got to create the wraparound cover art for that and the next several releases in the line, which was a lot of fun and really allowed me to stretch creatively. This week, my imprint Dark Arts Books has reissued Failure with new updated cover art as well as a new author Afterword. The original full wraparound cover art is also…
THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY edition of Vigilantes of Love, my 2nd short story collection, came out in e-book a couple months ago, and now I’m happy to announce that it’s also available once again as a trade paperback. The book includes an updated cover (using elements of the original, but rearranging them a bit), a new preface from me (about the book and the decade since its release) and six stories that were originally considered for…

JUST OVER A MONTH AGO, right after I landed in Santiago, Chile for a week-long business trip, I received word that my sixth novel, NightWhere, had made the final ballot for this year’s Bram Stoker Awards. What a great way to start a long trip, right? I was obviously pretty excited about the nomination — this is the first time one of my novels has been on the Bram Stoker ballot since Covenant got there…
YESTERDAY MORNING, I woke up expecting to log onto my computer to find that my e-book sales had quieted after a month of excitement. Amazon.com had been featuring The 13th and Sacrifice at $2.99 throughout January, but I knew when those went off sale at midnight on Jan. 31… things would probably settle down. Instead… I found that on February 1, Amazon.com took those titles off… but put Siren on their next Kindle 100 promotional…
