I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS about this city, but something here calls to me. I’ve spent more time here than almost anywhere besides my home in Chicago, some by choice, some for work. I’ve set two novels just north of here, and a short story that I wrote about…
MY FOURTH NOVEL, Siren, is now available in mass market paperback as a featured August release from Leisure Books! I’d say it’s “available in bookstores everywhere” as I have with my previous novel releases, however, as it’s turned out… that’s not quite the case. It is available through bookstores everywhere,…
THIS WEEK, THE LIMITED hardcover edition of Siren, my fourth novel, went up for pre-order from Bad Moon Books. (click on the cover art to see a larger version) If you want to reserve a copy, give me a shout or follow this link to its page on The Horror…
I BOUGHT MY FIRST Ramsey Campbell novel, Ancient Images, over 20 years ago. I loved the perfect combination of mystery and dread it displayed, with a classic celluloid theme as a backdrop. This weekend, I not only got Ramsey Campbell to sign that well-worn book, I took him and his…
LAST SATURDAY, when I got home from taking my son Shaun to his first Chicago Cubs game (where my Cubbies trounced arch enemies the St. Louis Cardinals!) I found a box sitting on the porch from Delirium Books. I cracked the tape open to find a stack of my new mini-hardcover short…

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…
LAST WEEKEND, I FLEW out to San Francisco for four days to run a seminar for my dayjob. The last day of the trip happened to coincide with my birthday, so I took the  opportunity to stay over in the city a few hours on Sunday and walk around a…
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…
LAST WEEK, one of my favorite authors, Jeffrey Thomas, interviewed me for his blog (you can read my responses to his interview here if you’re so inclined). It occurred to me while answering his questions that, having read a lot of Jeff’s work over the years — and even publishing…
