Tonight I’m going to read three brief short stories as part of a Studio Roanoke event called “The Big Idea.”
I adore how they’ve billed me:
Featuring Death Newman, Chris Shepard, Illusions by Nelson Oliver, and creepiness from Mike Allen!
Sat. Oct. 29th, 8PM, $5.00 at the door
Yes, I’ll be performing in The Purple Hat.
As well as some delightfully pulpy artwork. Cthulhu fhtagn!
The podcast also contains an interview with me afterward, full of awkward pauses, strange skips, and giggle fits. I reveal, among other things, that the inspiration for “Her Acres of Pastoral Playground” owes more to John Carpenter’s “The Thing” than H.P. Lovecraft, and Tony Smith praises me for making use of sound effects without screwing up the recording. He’s an expert, so I consider that high praise.
Don Eaves & Terrence Mollendor came up with this illustration for Darrell Schweitzer’s poem “Alien Graffiti.”
As of today everyone who submitted poetry to be considered for Mythic Delirium 26 should have gotten a reply of some kind from me. If you haven’t, please send me a query.
The latest StarShipSofa podcast contains an interview with me that’s intended as a teaser for my upcoming audio adaptation of my horror tale “Her Acres of Pastoral Playground,” which will run Halloween week. I hope you find it as fun as I did! (Click to listen.)
