My essay about several alleged 1930s "slasher" movies will appear in this volume.

Next stop, Brighton, and the World Horror Convention... where I hope to meet every attendee and spend way too much time in the bar.

But before I go, this arrived. The next issue of Dark Discoveries will carry my story "Marvelina." Frankly, I am just blasted knowing that I am in this issue. A flashlight is how I started reading horror. In honor of those times, I shall read this issue under the covers with an underpowered flashight. Cool!

Dark Discoveries #8 will be out in late March/early April. Order your copy here. DD is becoming quite collectible so I recommending snapping up an issue pronto!

Be seeing you.
