I’M OFF TO Dallas in the Morning! I’ve got a business trip for the weekend to Dallas, and so tomorrow night, May 13th at 6 p.m., I’ll be doing a signing at Texas’ only all horror bookstore, Eerie Books, 205 N. Ballard Street, Wylie, TX, 972-442-9393. If you’re in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, I hope you’ll stop by.
I’VE GOT BUGS on the brain. Today, The Horror Mall unveiled my new short fiction collection Creeptych. I’ve been hinting at this one for awhile (I started writing the final piece for the collection last fall). A three-story book focused on things with appetite and a lot of legs, this one is available both as an e-book through Darkside Digital, and as a limited edition hardcover chapbook from Delirium Books. I’m particularly excited about the latter edition, as…
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…
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,…

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…
A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, when I was the author guest at the Chicago Horror Film Festival, I met Chicago Filmmaker John Borowski, who has been featured on the History Channel – he wrote and directed the serial killer documentaries H.H. Holmes and Albert Fish. We hit it off pretty well, and yesterday John, with the help of cinematographer Eric Richter, wrapped a creepy new video “trailer” for my third novel The 13th! I’m hoping this is…
