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, come on out!

Coming Up: The 13th on the 13th…
I’ve also got signings for The 13th scheduled at Old Towne Books and Tea in Oswego, IL on February 13th (happy anti-Valentine’s Day?), in San Francisco at Borderlands Books on March 13th (the day before my birthday!) and then near Dallas at Eerie Books on May 13th (um, nothing special. It’s just mid-May).

For info on these and all my signings, check my Appearances webpage.

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 both films that night. If you’re in the Chicago area this weekend, definitely drop by the Portage Movie Theater for some great B Movies!

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 for January 29-30. So if you were planning to come out to the Newport, KY or West Chester, OH Barnes & Nobles this weekend… I hope you’ll come by the last weekend of the month  instead! See the Appearances page for the exact days and times.

I will still be signing in Merrillville, IN Borders this Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m., since it looks like the mess will be cleaned up by Saturday… so to anyone planning to drop by to that store on Sunday… I’ll see you then! 

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 sites offers news feeds from sites like Chicago Horror, Chicago Zombie, Chicago Vampire, Chicago Horror Film Festival, The Horror Society, Zombie Army Productions, Zombie Pinups and many more.

For those that need their horror feeds 24/7, there’s also a cool DarkChicago.com toolbar available to add to your web browser, so you’re always in touch with what creepy happenings are going on in the area.

As a Chicago-area horror author and occasional horror web designer and book cover artist, I’m excited to be part of this network of kindred dark spirits!
