My latest column for BitchBuzz is actually a book review. I must say I had fun writing it. More fun than the book. Even better, BitchBuzz is now part of the Glam Media network, so there’s hope this leads to bigger and better things for the whole BB crew: There’s something to be said for…

Review: The Wolfman
I had planned to write this yesterday until sidetracked by other news. I managed to catch the first matinee at the Spectrum (oh, how lucky to have the Spectrum!) and had a small crowd with which to see it, as it’s not the usual fare of that venue. The short review: it was fun! I…
WLoADed: Elena Steier
Drop on by the Women’s League of Ale Drinkers to see our latest featured artist, friend of the blog Elena Steier. My Jane Quiet co-conspirator talks a bit about her influences and working habits. Above see some of the art that she’s been experimenting with for the newly re-tooled Jane.
Publication: A Case of Dead Faces
I’m usually quick to post links to my publications — after all selling books is part of the game. But I’ve been dragging my feet on this one, because I have to admit that I don’t like the cover at all. The anthology was edited by Kerry Morgan over at Pagan Imagination. I haven’t had…
Hello and Goodbye Again in Boston
I made a quick run to Boston today to meet up with my pal, Aalya, who was giving a paper at MAPACA on fan reception of horror film remakes. Aalya is another member of the Horror List and is currently writing a dissertation on horror (which I’m being allowed to read — it’s good!). Her…
Blast from the Past: Wordgeryne
Just in time for the Halloween season, my dissertation and Cthulhu-inspired short story, “Wordgeryne” will be featured over at Unbound. The story originally appeared in Lovecraft’s Weird Mysteries back in 2002. It’s kind of a fun story (well, for horror, you know) because it combines a bunch of references that amuse me: of course, there’s…
BitchBuzz: Indy Horror
Hey kids, new BitchBuzz column — and it’s seasonal! Check out some indy horror including the wonderfully creepy House of Black Wings, created by friend o’ the blog David Schmidt and the folks at Sword & Cloak Productions: You know it’s October when Maureen Dowd quotes Hannibal Lecter and the National Review has a Bush…
Albacon!
You’ll be hard pressed to catch up with me the next few days, because I will be marinating in Albacon, the local SF/F/H — and this year, romance — con. I somehow ended up on the planning committee which included (to my surprise) setting up the program book (eek!) as well as helping to publicise…
BitchBuzz: Mistress of Horror
My latest column gives some recommendations if you want to give a really good fright movie fest this month. Ah, the spooky season!October! The season of the witch and all things creepy crawly. Sure, you’re probably thinking about that big Halloween fright fest and chattering eagerly to your friends. But, what’s this? They’re rolling their…
Good Stuff
Thanks to Lisa and Lori, I had my first visit to Capital Q Smokehouse, home of great BBQ in the capital region after the usual Tuesday at Mahar’s (the best bar in the world). Wow — some very tasty brisket, cornbread, coleslaw and home fries. Good sauce, too. Huge portions, of course, so there’s a…
