A Free Ebook from J.A. Konrath
Author J.A. Konrath has an interesting experiment going on, and in the interest of science, I’m going to participate by sharing one of his ebooks with you all. The experiment is to see if ebook piracy hurts sales. Personally, I don’t think it does, but there are a lot of people out there who do. [...]
Maniac Monday: Clifford Olson
Serial killers aren’t just limited to the United States, you know. Clifford Olson is a born and bred Canadian who killed 11 kids between 1980 and 1981 in British Columbia, making him one of Canada’s notorious killers. Now, usually I’d be making wise cracks up the yin-yang here, but when dealing with the murders of [...]
PODCATURDAY! – No, She’s Not Really Drunk
Welcome back to another edition of Podcaturday, suckers! We have a new voice mail line for you to call and leave random messages or just yell at us. We don’t care. The number to bitch at is 206-888-1710. Once again, that number is 206-888-1710. You’re responsible for your own damn charges. This week we welcome [...]
RIP Dennis Hopper
I just got word on Twitter that actor Dennis Hopper has passed away. Normally I shy away from doing posts on celebrity deaths, but man, I’ve been a fan of this man since I was a kid. Everything from Easy Rider and Land of the Dead, to the TV show 24 and Apocalypse Now. Hell, [...]
Friday Flix: Squirm & A Email Update
Today’s debut segment of Friday Flix deals with a horror film that is by no means great. It isn’t a classic is the sense that, “OMG! You have to see this,” but it is one that is near and dear to my heart. If you’ve never seen it, then I suggest you put it on [...]
Textbook Thursday: Ghost Story by Peter Straub
I had heard about this fine novel all through my teen years, but was never able to snag a copy of it either because it was out of print, or no book store I visited ever carried it on the shelf. Either way, I finally got a copy of it in hand late in the [...]
Super Zombie Fan Art
Got this wicked-cool piece of art in my inbox today from Jeff Millies (@abovocipher on Twitter), which portrays one of the super-zombies getting loose in the first book of The Zombie Chronicles trilogy, Escape. I really dig this pic, so be sure to follow Jeff on Twitter and tell him how much you dig it [...]
Wednesday Wildcard: Amityville House for Sale & A Freaky Email
As part of the new daily content here on the website, Wednesday Wildcard is a segment that will include my ramblings, tales, or anything else I find interesting, and man, do I find this tidbit interesting. You guys remember The Amityville Horror, right? That book by Jay Anson that was turned into a movie starring [...]
I Want Your Weird Tales!
Tomorrow begins Wednesday Wildcard here on the website, part of the new and improved daily content segments. Awe yeah! So here’s the lowdown: I write horror and tales of the supernatural. It’s what I’m hardwired to do. I like to tell those kinds of stories. Chances are, if you’re visiting this website, you enjoy reading [...]
Tall Tale Tuesday: Bloody Mary
Growing up, I think the Bloody Mary urban legend had to be my favorite one of them all. I mean, what other UL could you actually invite your friends over to try, and then have all of you get the pee scared out of your wee-wee? It was an interactive legend, and I think that’s [...]
Maniac Monday: Jeffrey Dahmer
I don’t know about you, but when I clean out my fridge I’m usually pretty disgusted by the stuff I find hiding at the back in long forgotten containers. Most times I don’t even chance a look inside, I just throw the whole damn thing away, not wanting to observe the horror inside. Not Jeffrey [...]
Who Wants More Content? You Do!
In an effort to bring more regularity to the website, and not in a Metamucil kind of way, starting Monday, May 24th, you will find new content being added on a daily basis. Each day of the week will now have a dedicated segment attached to it, meaning that when you come on Monday, you [...]
Podcaturday: Who Ya Gonna Call? Not Us.
Welcome back to another edition of Podcaturday. It’s the podcast where three people who know everything about nothing sit around and talk. Oooh, exciting. You bet your ass it is, cause I’m one of the three people. This week we mention Ghost Hunters, ghost stories, urination, and a bunch of other stuff that got cut [...]

Podcaturday: Featuring 3 People Who Know Everything About Nothing, or is that Nothing About Everything?
This week I had the distinct pleasure of appearing on Podcaturday, with my good buddies The Beans and Acadia. What is Podcaturday, you ask? It’s a weekly podcast about nothing. Seriously, it’s about nothing. No, really. I mean it. You thought Seinfeld was about nothing? Wait’ll you hear this. Apparently I’m going to be a [...]
Ahoy, Matey!
While you guys sit around waiting to see what I’m going to be doing for Zombie Awareness Month (yes, it is), my gal Jennifer Hudock has a brand new short story for you all available on Amazon and Smashwords for 99 cents. From her website: “Ahoy, Matey” is a tale that many of us can [...]
