KANSAS CITY’S World Horror Convention seemed a much calmer con in many ways than past instances, perhaps because it was raining and hailing outside most of the weekend, or perhaps because a lot of key players were absent — old friends like P.D. Cacek, Gerard Houarner, Linda Addison, Shane Ryan…
WELL, I’VE BEEN THINKING about it for years, but last week, I finally did it. Registered my own domain name — johneverson.com — studied the basics of Web style sheets, and then, over last weekend, completely redesigned this site and uploaded it to a new home. It’s still a little…
WELL, IT’S TAKEN me nearly two months to finally recap WHC Chicago…but I think I’ve finally recovered! This year I took lots of pictures, since it was on my own home turf…I’ve set this site up so you can click any of the thumbails to see a full-size picture. Hopefully…
WOW… A LOT TO catch up on. My last post here was more than six months ago…just about the time I got involved in helping out with the 2002 World Horror Convention. I took on the job of Publications Editor for the con, and that soaked up most of my…

Thanks to Sephera Giron, Judi Rohrig, David Norhaus…
HAVEN’T UPDATED IN awhile, sorry! For those wondering about what’s gone on since early February, my reading at Twilight Tales in February went well — I read “Dead Girl At The Side of the Road” from Cage of Bones and Other Deadly Obsessions. I sold a couple copies of the…
I JUST WAS READING an interview with Charlee Jacob on the Twilight Showcase website and saw that she gave me a plug!! The showcase asked her: Among the newer voices in fiction, who do you enjoy reading? and she responded: “Tom Picirilli, Gerard Houarner, Lucy Taylor, John Everson, Kurt Newton,…
