Four Halloween short stories from Bram Stoker winning author John Palisano, including the brand new tale, "Starlight Drive".
'John Palisano is exactly the type of writer horror needs right now: bold, brave, imaginative and unflinching." –Bentley Little
From Bram Stoker Award-winning author John Palisano comes a collection of four tales from Halloween and Dios De La Muertos.
In "Starlight Drive" two boys find allies through unexpected friends who help them confront a neighbor from hell.
In "Outlaws of Hill County" a small town finds itself terrorized by a creature that only comes out on Halloween.
In "Samhainophobia" a group of college kids still find Halloween terrifying, although for a very different reason than they did while growing up.
In "Fantasma" a young boy searches for his lost cousin during a chilling Dios de la Muertos celebration.
|From the Author
With Starlight Drive, I wanted to collect a few of my Halloween stories that have appeared over the years, while also including a new short story exclusive to the collection.
Outlaws of Hill County has been reprinted in several places and languages since its premiere many years ago in the Harvest Hill anthology. It's still one of my favorites, and includes the debut of the Long Fellow, a creature who can fold into the branches of trees and disappear, and who comes out on Halloween in order to suck the life out from kids, fingertip to fingertip. When I first wrote the story, I thought it was a little too insane to catch on, and figured it'd vanish. I'm delighted it has connected with readers around the world.
Starlight Drive is a story I've wanted to share for a long time and was based on a fantasy I had as a kid growing up. We had a really obnoxious neighbor. As kids, we had all sorts of myths about this guy. As an adult, I'm sure I'd have a very different perspective. But growing up, he served as the neighborhood bogeyman. It is exclusive to this mini-collection.
Samhainophobia was an experiment in trying to make Halloween scary for college age kids. As we grow up, the monsters no longer scare us, and the holiday becomes more an excuse for sexy costume balls and drinking. I wanted to visit Boston and its suburbs again, which was wonderful. For those thinking it: this is NOT based on the publisher of two of my novels. It was written and published a few years prior. The coincidence in name is pretty comical, though.
Fantasma was a flash fiction piece I wrote for Terry West's site. We are just seeing Dios de la Muertos crossing over into the mainstream. However, in Los Angeles, it's something that plays a big part in the season and is an experience not to be missed.
I hope everyone who reads this mini-collection finds something to their liking. I appreciate the reads and am always delighted to hear from my readers. Thank you.

VOICES OF THE DEAD preview at Shades & Shadows
Last July, I was one of the featured readers at Los Angeles reading series Shades & Shadows. We had a full house, and it was wonderful to premier the first chapter of VOICES OF THE DEAD, the sequel to DUST OF THE DEAD. Many readers have asked me what happened after the events of DUST OF THE DEAD, and here's the first taste.
While you're there, I urge you to check out the other podcasts. The readings are short . . . around seven minutes each . . . so you can get a good taste of a new author without too much time. They've all been pretty damn good, if you ask me.
Kindle Scout – A New Avenue for Writers?
This is an amazing new program, and Greg has always delivered some great books. All it takes is a click to support his book. THE CHANGELING looks great! Check out this story:
Kindle Scout – A New Avenue for Writers?
By Greg Faherty
Being a writer is a tough business. You have to deal with rejection, long hours sitting in front of a computer, more rejection, editing, more rejection. Even after a book is accepted for publication, there's still more editing to do, and then marketing, getting reviews… it's no wonder so many of us enjoy the occasional cocktail. Six or eight times a day!
And today's publishing environment doesn't make things any easier. Traditional publishing? Self publishing? Small press? Big publishers? Submit to agents?
Hold on, I need a drink.
Ever since I started writing, I've been published 90% traditionally. The only exceptions were when I got the rights back to some books, and I placed them on Amazon myself. So when I finished my latest novel, a YA sci-fi thriller titled The Changeling, I was ready to begin that familiar submission process. Pick the top 10 publishers looking for that type of book, and send it out. One at a time. Realistically, if you throw in a few rejections (to which I'm no stranger; nobody in this business is, unless you already have a publisher or your name happens to be King, Rowling, Martin, etc.) you're looking at 1-3 years before you get that publishing contract.
A rather daunting process.
But before I had a chance to begin, a couple of writer friends suggested I give Kindle Scout a try.
For those of you who don't know, Kindle Scout is a relatively new program run by Amazon. Basically, the reading public serves as the slush pile team. The writer uploads a completed manuscript, synopsis, cover art, and some other info. Readers read an excerpt, and then they have the option to vote for the book if they think it's interesting enough to finish. Get enough votes, attract the attention of the Amazon editing staff, and you have a chance to earn a publishing contract with Amazon. The benefit to the reader? Each book you vote for, you win a free copy of the ebook if it gets published. The benefit to the writer is an advance, royalties, and Amazon's marketing machine.
Not too shabby.
But it's not as easy as it sounds. Let's take a look at the process:
The first step is getting the book ready for publication. This process is similar to self-publishing through Kindle. Your manuscript must be polished and ready; professional editing is a must. You need a good synopsis, a 2-line, catchy description, and a short, 1-paragraph summary. You also need a professional book cover; that means either investing some money or doing it yourself, if you have the skills. Amazon is very tough when it comes to covers. Shoddy art almost guarantees you won't even get accepted to run a campaign.
No one seems to really know what the Scout team bases its acceptance decisions on, but if you make it past this first phase, you'll get an email in a few days informing you your campaign is a go.
Once you stop celebrating, the second step begins. And this is the hard part.
Each campaign runs for 30 days. Amazon will tell you the launch and end dates. Usually, you have 2-3 days to prepare for the launch. You'll need it! It's best to prepare your social media posts, emails, and any other promotional strategies during this time, so you can be ready to go the moment the campaign goes live.
In my case, I lost a few vital hours because my campaign started at midnight. Bad Amazon, bad! So it wasn't until 6am that I got started sending out the news.
Now, here is a key tip. You need to find a balance between over-promoting and under-promoting. Too little, and no one goes to your page. Too much, and everyone who follows you on social media will get sick of you. Remember, people can remove their votes, so you don't want to annoy anyone! There are also paid services you can use that will blast your campaign link out all over the place, but beware. Amazon tracks where your page views originate from, and if it's all paid promotion, they will take that into consideration, because it means people might be voting without actually reading the excerpt.
As I write this, I'm in day 12 of my 30 days, and the statistics on my Scout page show a trend already. When I post in social media (twitter, my own FB page, various reader and writer FB pages), I get 2-3 times the number of views as on days that I don't. Even so, I'm careful to only post 1x per week on my page, and 1x per week on the various promotional FB pages. I'm saving the daily posts for the final week.
All in all, it's a rather stressful process, especially if you hate waiting. I liken it to submitting traditionally, but you can see the editor reading your book and you're trying to gauge their reaction.
There is one advantage, though. Within a week or so after your 30-day campaign ends, you learn if you'll be offered a contract or not. Unlike traditional publishing, where a book can sit for up to 12 months before the editor even sees it.
The best thing is to practice patience and pour another drink!
For those of you who might be interested in taking a look at my book, here's a little bit about it.
Struck by lightning, developing new superpowers, and pursued by a power-hungry secret military group that wants to use her as a weapon of mass destruction…it's so not the 18th birthday that high school senior Chloe Olivetti was hoping for.
This is the summary to THE CHANGELING. If you have a minute, please register for Kindle Scout (it's free!), read the excerpt, and if you like it, give it a vote. The benefit to you? If it wins, you get a free copy of the book for your Kindle and the book gets published. Plus, you'll have my ever-lasting gratitude for your support (and maybe another free gift as well!).

Thanks again!
"Happy Joe's Rest Stop" wins Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in Short Fiction
I'm floored that "Happy Joe's Rest Stop" from the anthology 18 Wheels of Horror, edited by Eric Miller, has won the Bram Stoker Award for Short Fiction. It was an amazing night—sitting at a table with R.L Stine, Tony Timpone and Anne Serling. Wow. Earlier in the evening I was honored to present Tim Waggoner with the very first Mentor of the Year Award. Tim's been an amazing ally of mine the last several years, and has saved my sanity on a few occasions when dealing with the roller coaster world of publishing. I know: that seems ridiculous. Publishing? Isn't that a bunch of old men in a room filled with cigar smoke, rare whisky, and rare editions bound in leather? Not at all. Every small victory is hard won. This was a big one.
With that? Here's what I read after winning the award.
The Bram Stoker Award is a beacon. It's that neon sign on a rainy side street in an unfamiliar city, luring you into a dark and cozy bar. There's a song on the jukebox played by Damian Walters … something about singing about your scars … at the bar Gene O'Neill can tell you all about the Algernon Effect over a coffee … where behind the bar Kate Jonez will tell you how you might change your luck if you ask for just the right drink … and where at the end of the bar you might be tempted to open Allyssa Wong's small bottle with something dark inside whispering your name … and I'll have a story for you, too … about a boy and his Dad who get separated by the embodiment of pure evil … but even that is not enough to sever the tie between them.
Thank you so much to everyone who read and voted for my story.
All these great stories are to be celebrated and sought out. Horror fiction is in such a huge renaissance right now that if I started reading my TBR pile now, I'd still never get through the sheer amount of amazing works being produced all over the spectrum: from literary, to matinee, to the weird, to the bizzaro: I love all of you and walk with you on the nighttime streets, listening for when the darkness talks back to us, and writing it down when we can.
Thank you to the many in our community who've helped me over the years: Lisa Morton, Gene O'Neill, Hal Bodner, Deborah LeBlanc, Joe Nassise, Gary Braunbeck, Bentley Little, Tim Waggoner, Nancy Holder, John Everson, Joe McKinney, and everyone else, and especially the good folks of the Los Angeles Chapter, who continually inspire me.
Thanks to Eric Miller, the editor behind 18 Wheels of Horror, whose sure guidance shaped Happy Joe's into the story it is today.
Thanks to my Dad and my mom and my brother, who have always supported their strange child through his many passions over the years.
Thanks to Fawn, who found my ghost heart and made it whole again. Your positive influence is nothing short of inspiring and continuously galvanizes me.
And all my love to Leonardo Gabriel. This one's for you, Kiddo!

13 Things You Didn't Know About Stuart R. West
Stuart R. West's novel Demon with a Comb-Over quickly won me over. At first, I believed I was in for a saucy romp. Soon, though, the story turned in some of the creepiest moments in a book I've read in recent memory. We learn that Charlie has accidentally singled out a man who he initially thinks is a good target during one of his stand-ups. Turns out it's actually Kobal, who, naturally, turns his own sites on Charlie and his long-suffering daughter. It's a brilliant twist.
Here's the thing that makes it all work for me. Charlie is painfully real. His passion is standup comedy, but he is not so good at it. He perseveres, regardless. I think most of us can relate to that. We all want to be great at what we're passionate about. When we're not, and the world cruelly tunes us out, it can make most abandon ship. On the flipside, it can make a dedicated few work harder and try harder, hoping there's some magic, missing quotient for them to discover. That's where Demon with a Comb-Over feels like a classic tragedy, and succeeds. It's also very funny, at turns. Having reached out to Stuart, I found him to be equally funny and charismatic as his book.
We also both have been crouched under the Samhain tent as the hurricane has hit. Our last books with the imprint didn't get the push or attention as much as we'd hoped, so we thought we'd do what we could, and talk about them here. I do hope someone takes on Stuart. I mean, check out this bit about something that almost came out from Samhain:
Dread and Breakfast. Think "Psycho" but with a bunch of damaged, darkly amusing characters: a psychotic, religious married couple; a germophobic mobster; an embezzling wallflower accountant; a hitman who puts family first; an abusive husband; a charming but sociopathic cop; a woman on the run fighting for her young daughter's life; and of course, Jim and Dolores Dandy, bread and breakfast owners and serial killers.
Welcome to the Dandy Drop Inn. A finer bed and breakfast can't be found in the Midwest. Hospitality's the name, murder's the game. Kick your shoes off, warm up next to the cozy fireplace during the winter storm. Delight over the chocolate pecan pie, everyone's family here. Don't fret about the mounting bodies piling up. Try not to let the other strange guests get under your skin, it takes all kinds. And whatever you do, don't go into the cellar. Business as usual at the ol' Dandy Drop Inn. A wonderful getaway you won't soon forget. You just might not survive the night.
I also thought it'd be fun as hell (get it?) to do something a little fun instead of a straight interview. So here's …
13 Things You Never Knew About Stuart R. West!
*I was in an alternative/art performance band where I played a mentally unstable person ("Cousin Bo"). I wore pajamas on stage, swung around a saxophone and rarely played it. I also shaved my head on-stage with fake stage-blood which once caused the bar owner to call 911.
*I saw Dr. Joyce Brothers in lingerie! I worked at a PR firm. My job was to take photos. When my fellow gal worker went with me, she knocked on Dr. Brother's door. The doc asked, "who is it?" She answered just for herself. The door opened. My eyes, my eyes!
*Back in the day, I was a world-class videotape trader. The best in the business. I accumulated 30,000 movies from across the world, mostly horror, a lot of them unsubbed and undubbed. Late last year, my "nest egg" went the way of a dumpster. Mold happens. One of the saddest days of my life. My wife and I spent two solid days carrying them out from the basement.
*As a school-skipping kid, I once shared a cigarette with Frank Gorshin (in town for a radio interview to plug his comedy review at "The Golden Buffet"). He was standing on the lawn of the radio station. I told the girl I was with who he was (Batman's "Riddler"). She didn't believe me, so we went forth. He ended up signing her paperback novel of (can't remember the title) a tale of demonic and sexual possession.
*After college, I tried stand-up comedy. Burned worse than my protagonist, Charlie, from my novel, Demon with a Comb-Over.
*For over twenty years, I was a graphic artist and manager of a big North Kansas City publishing company. And I still don't trust my talents to do my own covers.
*I've written 12 novels, put out by three publishers. I also have a children's picture book coming late in the year. Eventually I'd like to try my hand at most genres. Except erotica. Not that there's anything wrong with it! I just find it boring after a while. Still…it sells!
*When I was in grade school I knew I wanted to be a writer. Just took me a while to get there.
*I'm married to a college professor of pharmacy, a world-renowned specialist in natural products. Her drug expertise (um, not the kind I specialized in during high school!) comes in handy for some of my thrillers.
*True confession time! I love bad movies. Absolutely adore them. Give me a schlocky, awful Andy Milligan piece of junk over Titanic any day. During a recent visit, my nephew checked out my DVD collection. He asked, "Don't you ever watch any good movies?" "Um, no," I said. Don't judge me!
*My friends and I almost kidnapped "Skippy" from Family Ties back in the day during a spring break in Texas. Long story, that.
*In high school, I worked at a McDonald's for one day. When I blasted the tartar sauce gun too hard (which shot the fish sandwich off the table), I found it pretty funny. My boss didn't.
*I brought my daughter up watching horror movies. I was so proud of her the other day when she gave a lecture to my young nephews about the trajectory of the Nightmare of Elm Street saga. She did it with confidence, knowledge, acting out and humor. My girl!
An Interview with Glenn Rolfe
When I first met Glenn Rolfe, I knew we were cut from the same cloth. We quickly talked about all things music and horror and had many common passions, from Springsteen to vintage Stephen King, to 80s metal to obscure punk bands. His career has been really taking off, and his writing output has grown tremendously. Each one of his releases has been different in story, but the characters are the kind of people you immediately feel comfortable with–like the guys you'd have a few beers with at the bar who'd give you a jump when that damn old thing won't start on the way home. But Glenn being Glenn: there's going to be something sinister lurking just behind that corner . . .
From your first collection of short stories, I feel your writing has gone on to be more and more successful with each release. You're on fire, creatively. To top off your writing, you also are a successful rock n' roll musician and a very esteemed member of your day job. Not to mention being a dad. How do you juggle it all?
I have a lot of help! I do a lot of writing on my overnight shifts at the hotel I work at. I don't play in bands as much, but still do when I have a spare Saturday. My wife and kids are amazing. They deserve my home time and I give it to them. Writing success? I think it comes from hard work, constantly doing something to promote yourself or others, and having a good story to push. I just got started at this, so I hope to only get better as an artist, as a writer, and as person.
Speaking of: you're a rocker! We spoke about our mutual love of Springsteen and 80s metal at one of the Stoker awards. I loved the Abrahm's Bridge nod. How much does that inform your work?
Loads. Yeah, Abram's Bridge was inspired by "Darkness on the Edge of Town", as you know, I'm also working on another Springsteen nod, "Stolen Car." I love to incorporate my favorite songs and artists into my stories. Everything from Alkaline Trio to the Boss to Taylor Swift.
Most highly creative people I know are multi-hyphenate great at several disciplines. We know about your writing and we've rocked out to some of your videos. Is there something else lurking inside? Painting? Filmmaking? Something like that?
Um…not that I'm aware of. I've been doing music since I was 17, but I didn't start writing until I was 34…so maybe there is another avenue for me to discover down the road. I wouldn't mind making a movie. I've heard my stories read like movies. I'd also like to throw my hat in the publishing ring.
Each of your works feels different to me, as if you're exploring different styles and stories. Blood & Rain is a rip-roaring action book, but your latest is a haunting slow-burn that quite literally pulls you in at the end. Are there any other styles you're writing in?
I don't want to write the same story over and over again. I like the idea of complete freedom when writing. I have a book on the back burner that has nothing to do with horror (also inspired by one of the saddest songs I've heard in recent times). I like the idea of going full alien invasion someday, but I feel like 90 % of whatever I do will still have a toe or two in the horror pool.
So far, you've been all horror, all the time, as far as the public has been concerned. Do you have any non-horror works?
Like I said, definitely. I have the sad story, real dramatic piece about a boy who loses his mother and a father who has to try and figure out how to help him get past the immense loss. I also have a crime novel drafted up in my mind about some real life stuff from a town about two hours from where I live.
Most people who attain success pretty much focus on themselves, yet, you have spearheaded many Samhain authors and you are always looking out for everyone else, thinking of new ways to promote your fellow authors, and promoting them by hand. You don't have to do this! I think it's amazing, but what's behind this generous and all inclusive spirit?
I came from a punk rock scene where we were all trying to get out together. We were all celebrating each other and each other's successes, each step forward, each show, each record. We were a family. I think I just carried that with me into this next phase in my life. The horror genre is very much like the punk scene. We're the black sheep, we're the underdogs, we're the misfits forced to work and fight from the shadows. You would think that with the success of King and a handful of others, combined with the recent success of TV like American Horror Story and The Walking Dead we'd find a broader reach, but that just remains to be seen.
I believe we can prevail if we work together. Most of the presses I've worked with or talked to or seen on social media do a good job of working together. There's always exceptions, but I think we're a mostly solid community.
As for my supporting others, I've had published authors supporting me, giving me advice since day one. I figure it's my duty to repay that unnecessary support by doing the same. Ronald Malfi didn't owe me a damn thing, but he's been a helpful hand from the start for me. Russell James, Jonathan Janz, and Hunter Shea listened to me when I was just a fan asking questions about getting published, getting better at the craft. Paying it forward. That's about the gist of things.
Most people would only think of one name when they think of 'horror writer' and 'Maine' –– but you are quickly rising in visibility, and people are noticing it's not a one man show up there. I imagine there may be a horror writing scene brewing, kind of like Seattle in the late 80s. Any truth to that hunch?
There are plenty of aspiring and talented folks up here. Nate Kenyon is from here. Kristin Dearborn went to the same school as me. Although he's a transplant, Peter N. Dudar, who was nominated a few years back for Best First Novel (Stokers) for his novel, A Requiem for Dead Flies, lives about twenty minutes from me. April Hawks, Morgan Sylvia, and many, many more.
The small towns, creepy woods, and freaky weather tend to inspire the creative types that lurk up here.
Being an author is changing drastically. When pretty much anyone can and have written books and uploaded them to Amazon, what distinguishes a pro from that onslaught? And how can readers know the difference?
You can't know the difference without reading the work. There are good self-published books out there, but they do seem to be in the minority.
Best to go with reviews by people or names that you trust. Maybe if the cover looks like it was drawn by a 4th grader, steer clear. If you see the guy or gal responding poorly to negative reviews, that's often a sign of unchecked ego. See Labbe, Rod.
Going with a book by a publisher is still the best barometer of professionalism. At least there's a gatekeeper that agrees that the author's story is worthy of being read. Even some of those are still misses, but the percentages are better going with traditional pub vs. self-pub.
What does the future hold?
I'm working on my next short story collection, the follow-up to Blood and Rain, a number of novellas, and much more. I have some plans up my sleeves in the wake of our publisher's shake-up, but that's down the road.
My next official release will either be my short story collection or my novella, Chasing Ghosts, which is coming from the fine folks at Sinister Grin Press in early 2017.
Glenn Rolfe is an author, singer, songwriter and all around fun loving guy from the haunted woods of New England. He has studied Creative Writing at Southern New Hampshire University, and continues his education in the world of horror by devouring the novels of Stephen King and Richard Laymon.
He and his wife, Meghan, have three children, Ruby, Ramona, and Axl. He is grateful to be loved despite his weirdness.
He is the author the novellas, Abram's Bridge, Boom Town, and his latest, Things We Fear (March, 2016), the short fiction collection, Slush, and the novels The Haunted Halls and Blood and Rain (October 2015). His first novella collection, Where Nightmares Begin, will also be released in March 2016. His next book, Chasing Ghosts, will be coming by 2017.
He is hard at work on many more. Stay tuned!
Praise for Things We Fear
"Things We Fear is a compulsively readable tale of obsession and dark suspense, with one of the creepiest villains I've encountered in recent years." — Tim Waggoner, author of The Way of All Flesh
"Glenn Rolfe's new thriller is addictive. A quick, compelling read. Rolfe creates tension with a minimal amount of words. His characters are so well-drawn they come alive (before they die)." — Duncan Ralston, author of Salvage
"Fast paced and tense, with one of the most interesting monsters I've read about in recent times." — Patrick Lacey, author of A Debt to Be Paid
"Glenn Rolfe is quickly establishing a name for himself as one of a number of excellent new writers to ensure the horror genre is kept alive and well. His previous books – Abram's Bridge, Boom Town and Blood and Rain – have also served to show the extensive breadth of his imagination and Things We Fear carries on that trend. Quite simply, each story is fresh, new, exciting, and unpredictable." — Catherine Cavendish, author of Dark Avenging Angel
"In this frighteningly real look at true horror, Rolfe manages to up the ante of tension while balancing genuinely heartbreaking moments, while showcasing his talent for creating unforgettable characters placed in equally unforgettable moments." — David, Beneath The Underground
"There is a definite old school feel about this novella. It isn't an over the top gore fest. Instead, what we have is a tense, psychological thriller that builds steadily towards a fitting climax." -Adrian Shotbolt, at Ginger Nuts of Horror
Praise for Abram's Bridge (a novella within Where Nightmares Begin)
"This is a stellar debut from Glenn Rolfe, a tale that will give you chills as much as it will make you question the hardness in men's hearts and the spirit of redemption." -Hunter Shea, Author of The Montauk Monster and Island of the Forbidden
"If you're looking for a page-turning who-done-it with a touch of the supernatural and a solid all around story that satisfies, then look no further." -David Bernstein, author of Goblins and Unhinged
Praise for Boom Town (a novella within Where Nightmares Begin)
"Short and sharp, Glenn Rolfe's BOOM TOWN packs in in for a novella. An excellent blend of horror and sci-fi, with way more character development than you usually see in a shorter work like this." -Russell James, Author of Q Island
"Boom Town is a fun, fast-paced read packed with action, copious amounts of alien slime and an aura of creepiness that is sure to appeal to both horror and science fiction fans." -Rich, The Horror Bookshelf

I'll never forget standing in the Apple store where I worked, wearing those dreadful blue shirts (Hey! Are you a cop?) when in walked Cody one day with one of those massive Mac Pros. It felt like the asylum had come to set us all free. Since then, I've followed his work and have never been disappointed. Not only is his work fascinating and multi-layered, but the man is, as well. As you shall discover.
1. When did you discover Lovecraft? What was that like for you?
Fittingly enough, it coincided with the onset of puberty.
2. You're known very much for your Lovecraftian and Mythos tales, yet, you seem to switch gears and be able to work in many other genres successfully. Your work with John Skipp veered more into the splatterpunk and straight horror areas, with a touch of the weird. What other helped steer your outlook as you were a developing writer, and what turns you on now?
My father and grandparents died when I was very young. Growing up, I I think I read classic and splatterpunk horror, cyberpunk science fiction, crime, fantasy and lurid history with an eye to anything that would re-sensitize me to the vital cruelty and weirdness of the world, and strategies for coping with it. Authors I favored found ways to use words to shock as images and sounds couldn't, to achieve almost a form of synesthesia, with language you could taste and smell. People like Ballard, Burroughs, O'Connor, Koja, Gibson, Rucker, Peake, Crews, Ellroy and Schow, whose voices seethe with unique notes amid precise prose.
What I think is most interesting about modern Mythos fiction, for those who find any of it interesting, is how successive "Lovecraft Circles" of authors have aligned in their intent. HPL's peers and disciples all added their own gods, forbidden tomes and cults to the mythology, with the effect that some, like Derleth, Lumley and Carter, nearly murdered the subgenre they loved with cyclopean bricks of exposition and contrived, consonant-heavy monsters that lacked the uncanny, paranoid urgency of Lovecraft's creations.
All praises and acknowledgment are due Hierophant of the Horde Robert M. Price and Choirmonster Darrell Schweitzer, who founded the Esoteric Order of Dagon and initiated the prayer breakfasts at the original NecronomiCon shows in Providence in the 90's. Brother Bob's early sermons are collected in an excellent pamphlet called The Sermon On The Mound, and a hymnal of Schweitzer's perversions of Christian standards can also be found wherever he peddles his wares. Later, Brother Bob presided over breakfasts at the HP Lovecraft Film Festival & Cthulhucon in Portland, where I was first recruited as a deacon, and later pressed to deliver a backup sermon and carry out ritual observances when Bob was laid low by hay fever.
That was a weird fluke. I'd recently quit smoking, and wanted to see if I could sing properly once my lungs cleared, and Andrew "the Slow Poisoner" Goldfarb was in the house, so apropos of nothing, at the end of a Bizarro performance piece, we broke into Marty Robbins' Cool Clear Water. I'm not a country fan by any stretch, and have never sung in a band or choir or a class, but I do have a soft spot for old Western tunes and cowboy crooners. I enjoy singing, but I'd pretty much only get in front of a crowd to do it again because I like making myself nervous. But I'm glad you enjoyed it…
6. Speaking of music: you're also known as being an amazing connoisseur of amazing music that's not widely known. Your mixes are epic, and run through so many styles one hardly has time to absorb them. Do you listen to music while you write? Does it inspire your work?
I don't know who knows me as such things, but I'll bite…
Music is my other favorite thing. I always have music on while I write and when I drive and think about what I'm writing. Lately, I've been listening to Mutant and Xen by Arca, Garden Of Delete by Oneohtrix Point Never, a lot of Venetian Snares and always, always, Amon Tobin. Generally it's all instrumental, from classical and film scores to big band, exotica, space music and techno. It's all vivid music that drives what Jim Thirlwell called "brain movies," without trapping you in a singer's narrative or pushy psychodrama. I always preferred it to vocally driven music of any kind, and after I put in ten years as a "radio research musicologist" basically playing Name That Tune at home in my pajamas to compile data for alternative chart ratings, a huge part of my brain was tied up remembering and recalling the lyrics of every song on the radio during the absolute nadir of rock music in America. Creed. Limp Bizkit. Barenaked Ladies. Godsmack. Losing the job when we finally became obsolete was like having a stroke in reverse. I had to relearn everything after having some fifty percent of my gray matter suddenly come back to life after it no longer had to recognize the slap-bass solo on any given Korn song.
7. You've made some excellent short films, including the hilarious and creepy, Lovecraftian "Stay at Home Dad". Where you always interested in filmmaking and screenwriting? Is this a newer passion? Are you working on some new films?
I came to UCLA in 1989 to study film, but they scrapped the undergraduate production major my first quarter. I left school totally discouraged by what I'd seen and heard of the film industry, and to this day, every encounter with it makes me more grateful for the simplicity of writing. When I moved back to LA in 2007, I wasn't looking to get into film, but my wife had run a post house and is an editor, and Skipp was busy picking up the fundamentals of directing when we first started hanging out. As Skipp has evolved into a bona fide filmmaker with Andrew Kasch, I've had a lot of opportunities to try different stuff—acting, scoring and stain removal, as well as writing—and meet the vast array of people you need to know and subordinate to your will to even dream of making a simple, short motion picture.
We've picked up the torch from the Portland festival, which will be old enough to drink this October. Our fest, now in its seventh year, has been a very different experience, mostly because Portland is such a cozy town where all the weirdos regularly run into each other, where LA is a vast, distraction-infested wasteland, so just bringing together a crowd of highly evolved mutants like this is a massive undertaking. Our three-day show includes classic features and about four hours of new weird short films, but also weird lit readings and panels, art shows, the Mall of Cthulhu, gaming, filmmaker Q&A, SFX makeup demonstrations, a burlesque floorshow shadow cast of The Dunwich Horror…and some stuff I forgot. We use Kickstarter to sell our advance tickets and fly in guests, and we've only got about halfway to where we need to be WITH ONLY 12 DAYS TO GO. We've got a lot of neat swag and extra stuff for people coming to the show, from a professional portrait with a real live monster by photographer Joshua Hoffine to a chance to meet a fate worse than death in a Joe Pulver story, but we've also got a livestream package for folks who can't make it out to SoCal, hosted this year by Mike Davis of Lovecraft e-Zine and Leeman "Ask Lovecraft" Kessler. So there's no logical reason why everyone on earth shouldn't make this a part of their lives.
9. Graphic novels are also high on your list. I know you've done work in that field, too. How is it different than fiction and/or films? Do you have anything in the works?
Writing comics professionally is one of those ambitions I've had to kind of let go of, in order to still enjoy reading them. The industry has been even less responsive to my overtures than the film world. Which is such a pain, because writing comics is the distillation of all that makes writing for film so exciting. You're selecting exacting slices of moments to stand in for the whole scene, so it takes the persistence of vision that makes motion pictures work to its extreme. But where everything you write into a film is going to cost untold amounts of money and trouble to bring to life, in comics, you're laying out the blueprint, and your partner the artist laboriously but somehow magically breathes it into existence. Everything, everything is negotiable. When an artist is in sync with your prose, it's like making a film, and the best partnerships become as simple and fertile as jamming between musicians.
CODY GOODFELLOW has written five novels, and co-wrote three more with New York Times bestselling author John Skipp. His first two collections, Silent Weapons For Quiet Wars and All-Monster Action, each received the Wonderland Book Award. He wrote, co-produced and scored the short Lovecraftian hygiene film Stay At Home Dad, which can be viewed on YouTube. He is also a director of the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival-San Pedro, and cofounder of Perilous Press, an occasional micropublisher of modern cosmic horror. He lives in Burbank, California, and is currently working on building a perfect bowling team.
A Statement from your new Vice President of the Horror Writers Association
From the Trenches: A Pull Toward the Unknown
So let's get the motorcade rolling. There's no time like yesterday to fly the dark colors of our horror flag for all to see.
In mainstream media we are seeing tremendous numbers supporting horror television shows and films. AMERICAN HORROR STORY is rivalling shows like the SOPRANOS in acting nominations and wins. THE WALKING DEAD continues to bring in hordes of viewers. Yet something is missing. Horror fiction continues to be mixed in with fiction at bookstores. There once was a time when horror had its own section at major chains. Borders kept theirs until the end. Others have done away with these separate sections, unless individual stores choose to have them.
We need to storm the gates by proving beyond any doubt that horror fiction is as viable and as urgent a genre as possible. Spend two minutes viewing a news feed and you'll see our world is overrun with horrific things and themes. Art is supposed to reflect the world. Art helps us put things into perspective. Art allows us to vent, to heal, to hurt through it without hurting others. That is where horror speaks to so many profoundly.
Modern horror is not the simple slashers of the 1980s. It's a rich and varied world, with equally strong voices coming from women and men of many different colors.
How does this tie into my duties as your new Vice-President?
It is through the above realizations that I've worked to spread the word about horror literature. This genre and its practitioners have saved me more times than I can recall. I'm not alone in that experience.
Throughout the years we've seen the HWA membership ebb and flow. I've been lucky to see the work of several excellent presidents. The present team of folks are rowing that forward, carrying the work of our predecessors, while making our own mark, and setting the table for those who will follow. Lisa Morton has come into her own as President, bringing to life many amazing initiatives, and making sure everything behind the scenes is running seamlessly. I'm honored to be the right-hand man for her and for the HWA.
At our final meeting of the year at the HWA LA Chapter, I announced that I am doing what I am for my fellow authors because I am horribly selfish. I believe there is plenty of space for the countless great works being produced, especially in the Weird, Bizarro, and alternate horror genres. The imagination is astounding and absolutely riveting. I want to share these works with everyone.
When I was twelve I spotted the rack of horror books at the local Waldenbooks (remember those?) and the neat flip cover of Stephen King's Night Shift caught my eye … you know … the one with the eyes in the fingers? Well, I picked it up and had to have it. I read through it and was hooked. That was it. I knew, somehow, I'd have to be involved in this horror book world. I want that for the next kid who is wandering through a store. I want that pull toward the unknown to be answered. Let's all be there to welcome them home.

Untold Legends Dark Kingdom was released on November 13, 2006 and it never occurred to me that it was
an RPG until recently. Well, on a recent trip to Gamestop I spotted
this game with a price tag of only 4.99 and I would have been mad not
to pick it up right?
All throughout this game I've had nothing but mixed emotions. Then I got eight hours in and realized
that this game sucks.
I'm not going to make a review about how horrible this game is however because there were a few things
that I did slightly enjoy.
Untold Legends Dark Kingdom gets right to the point the second you start the
storyline. The monster designs were neat and nicely detailed. The
controls are easy to learn and run smoothly: the X button is your
basic melee, the square button is for a slower but stronger strike,
the triangle button is for launching your enemies and to use your
spells you simply hold down the L1 and press one of the four buttons.
Some of the eerie music really set the stage for some of the places that you'll be
I've played many games where you could play all the way through using only your melee
strikes and survive. One thing I appreciated about Dark Kingdom was
the fact that at times, your spells were a nesecity which almost
forced you to expand the way you use your characters, especially
This game can be unforgiving more often then not and although it can be difficult,
it's fair even if it pisses you off.
This game is extremely linear. No exploration outside of your predetermined
destinations leaves you unable to do extra or side tasks to further
develop and prepare your character.
The difficulty of Dark Kingdom is nothing short of erratic. You'll most likely breeze
through the first few hours of the game and then out of no where,
you'll find yourself getting killed over and over again.
Dark Kingdom is so unforgiving that you aren't able to purchase any potions or learn
any healing spells. You can draw health from every enemy you defeat
and if your lucky you'll find a place to replenish a medium amount of
health, magic or essence. Basically, if you suddenly find yourself
in a tight spot, you're screwed.
Enemies constantly drop loot but this represents three main problems in Dark
Kingdom. 1: You have only a small amount of room in your inventory to
store all the shit that enemies drop. 2:You can't sell any of the
crap you aquire, so basically your gonna be picking things up,
checking to see if you need them and then throwing them away. 3: All
the gear that you trade essence to buy is much stronger than anything
you loot. Simply but, 99% of the time, the armor you the enemies
drop is just a bunch of useless shit.
You can add enchantments to your main weapon which does help but you never change
or acquire any new weapons or forms of your weapon. Come on,
everybody likes a little variety, give me a different colored axe at
The camera is erratic and glitchy and can completely ruin a lot of parts in this
game. Seriously though, fuck the cameras in this game, they totally
suck ass.
There was probably a storyline but I couldn't tell you if there was. The
dialogue was so lame that I couldn't bare to pay attention to the
horribly performed voice overs.
I gotta be honest man, the first few hours of Dark Kingdom really had me believing that
this was a gem that I had over looked for years. But as soon as I
started to realize that there is no evolution or change throughout
the game (at least change that matters) I began only to see the flaws
in it. I believe I gave this game a fair chance, in fact I had high
hopes for it but in the end, it left me with an annoying feeling
I'm giving Untold Legends Dark Kingdom a 4.5/10. It's not a total hunk of shit, but it
does have shit stains on it.
Recommended?: No
Will I play again?: Probably Not
Stay retro my friends...

Lake Burley Griffin was completed in 1963 and is named after Canberra's designer, Walter Burley Griffin. It is the centrepiece of the city and can be enjoyed in many ways. The lake and surrounding areas provide parks for picnics, walking and cycling tracks and there are areas for swimming. The lake itself is busy with people rowing, sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, kayaking, dragon boating, fishing, paddle boating and model boating.
Giaan loved testing herself on the 35km cycle path. Along the way you will take in a large slice of the capital's main attractions and even discover some lesser-known spots.
Stop by for breakfast before or after a good walk or cycle, a quick snack or a lingering lunch.
It's a good idea to start your Canberra visit with a cruise. That way you get the feel of the city and get your bearings and there are no roundabouts!
Cruises are scheduled to be close to the 110m water jet in the centre of the lake when it's spurting and to pass Aspen Island so you hear the bells of the carillon or Westminster chimes.
You will see the colourful flags of countries with diplomatic missions in Australia, Parliament House from a different angle and even learn interesting bits and pieces from the crew.
The Deck at Regatta Point serves breakfast on weekdays between 9am-11am and from 8am on weekends. Lunch is served every day from 11.30am.
Lake Burley Griffin Cruises cost $15 for adults and $8 for children between 6-12 years. They operate every day between September and May and leave at 10.30am, 1.30pm and 2.30pm on weekdays plus 11.30am and 3.30pm on weekends and public holidays. Contact them for cruises between May and August.
Prices correct at December 3, 2009.

Man also blossoms in nature. What could be more inspiring than a bed of roses? But, the course of nature prevents keeping such a priceless treasure. And yet, nature can be the model for extraordinary creations like the new LEAF Collection.
The graceful shape of elegantly curved leaves is the spin off for these unique chairs and matching side table. Two sizes – single or double bed – encourage sensual high spirits and enable us be one with nature. A leaf's natural shape with its light division running down its length creates a gentle depression for relaxed lounging. A comfortable cushion made of breathable foam rubber has been integrated into the top of the beach chair. Leaf's perfect complement is the matching overlay made of soft, thick cotton. The beach chairs rest on four stationary points and always give the needed support.
In September, Leaf was given the " Award for Outstanding Design," an internationally recognized design prize awarded by the British Interior Design Association.

An Original Musical About Kosovo
Written by Henry H. Perritt Jr.
After the Srebrenica massacre and the winding down of the war in Bosnia, Slobodan Milosevic, popularly elected as Serbia's president, directed his full attention to Kosovo, demonizing the majority Albanian population there as primitive terrorists and fundamentalists. His forces butchered men and boys, burned houses, killed livestock, and expelled some 800,000 Albanians from their homes.
You Took Away My Flag shows how a young Albanian teenager and his older sister responded, both determined to realize their very different dreams despite the political storm raging around them. This rock opera shows the power of the human spirit to surprise those who underestimate it, celebrates different kinds of bravery, and recognizes that dreams, even when realized, are often accompanied by seeds of potential destruction.
Through the voices and visions of the play's characters, audience members can feel what it was like to be in the middle of places like Srebrenica while trying to hold on to human dignity.

I made this using frozen corn (it's hard to find fresh this time of year.) I used half cream and half milk, because I wanted to finish off the open container of cream, but it worked perfectly. It probably would have been thinner than I like if I had used all milk. We went with the pimentos because it's what we had on hand, but the roasted red peppers sound delish. We did feel the need to add some fresh ground black pepper to it, but that was all. It's a very beautiful, colorful soup plus it's quick and easy to make. Perfect for a busy, cold winters day.
Very pretty soup, if you like to admire what you eat! I used frozen corn, skim milk, the roasted peppers and 2 fresh jalapenos. I thought two jalapenos was a few too many for this soup and I enjoy spicy foods. We topped with feta cheese, but didn't think it really did anything for the soup. My husband and I ate the entire batch for supper, so I'm not sure if it'd feed four as a main course. Also, as another reviewer mentioned, I think an addition of ground pepper would be beneficial.
This was wonderful! I made a half batch for dh and I for lunch. I used 5 slices of jarred jalapenos as that is all I had and used milk instead of cream mixed with some cornstarch to thicken it up. I loved the feta cheese on top and next time I might try some cheddar. Thanks for the great recipe!
Wonderful soup with a nice combination of flavors. I used a little more red pepper than called for and 1 jalapeno. Next time I will add even more of both and thicken it a little more. The feta sunk to the bottom of the bowl but was delicious when you could get a bite before it all melted. Thanks acid.
This recipe is originally from Better Homes and Gardens. Jalapeno corn chowder is a staple at our house. We make it in huge batches and freeze the leftovers. It heats up perfectly--great for a quick dinner! I don't use pimentos but I double the roasted red peppers. It cooks up a lovely pink color! We don't like feta, so we garnish it with a Mexican blend. The cream isn't necessary--the milk makes it plenty creamy enough. We always puree the corn and about half of the peppers pretty smooth, then throw in the rest of the peppers. We add about a teaspoon of black pepper too. Give this recipe a try--it's wonderful!
This is an excellent recipe for late summer and Fall. It was just a bit thinne than I likes me chowder - but that was easily fixed using 8 ears corn and/or a can of creamed corn and 1/2 - 3/4 cup cream. I just found this recipe a month ago and am on my 3rd batch. Best served w/ a couple of warmed flower tortillas for dipping.
