Are you ready for the LIVING DEATH RACE?

ON JULY 30, my first novella, Living Death Race: Beauty & The Brains, was released in paperback and e-book editions by The Evil Cookie Publishing! It’s hard to believe, but it’s a story that I’ve had in the works for 13 years. And after I turned in The Bloodstained Doll to Flame Tree Press early this year, I finally decided to dig in and finish it. The core of Living Death Race was originally written…

Cover Reveal: The Bloodstained Doll

ON OCTOBER 8, my 15th novel, The Bloodstained Doll, will be released in hardcover, paperback and e-book editions by Flame Tree Press. It’s another horrific murder-mystery thriller in the vein of my last Flame Tree release, Five Deaths for Seven Songbirds. Meant to celebrate the crazy giallo thrillers of Italy from the 1970s, I have really enjoyed writing these two novels and I hope you’ll enjoy reading them! So… without further ado… here’s what it…

When your “kids” Danika and Mila grow up and go to Netflix: V-WARS

EIGHT YEARS AGO, Jonathan Maberry approached me and a handful of others with an invitation to contribute to a new shared world book he was creating that dealt with vampires. I still have the original e-mail – from May of 2011 – and of course I accepted the invite, but I never dreamed when the resulting book V-Wars was first published in 2012 that it would spawn three more prose volumes, a comic book series,…

THE PUMPKIN MAN is a horror thriller featuring a Ouija Board and a mysterious killer who cuts off the heads of his victims and replaces them with pumpkins carved in the likeness of their faces.

JohnEverson.com redesign: New Website for a New Year!

IT’S BEEN LONG overdue, but I’ve officially launched the JohnEverson.com redesign!  My site has had a few different looks over the years but the last time I gave it a full redesign was August 2008. The web has changed a lot since then, so JohnEverson.com really needed a facelift. The last design was my longest-lived look, thanks to the design help of Alina Ciejka Gonciarz and the awesome artwork from Travis Anthony Soumis (repurposed from…
