"It'd creeped over the far edge of the rock, just a hand at first, long fork-like fingers gripping the dead animal like a doll. Then I saw the head, and it grinned at me, bright golden eyes cutting the darkness like two beacons. It was as though it knew I was there and had waited for the most opportune time to make its grand entrance and scare the piss out of me, which it did, but I hadn't noticed that until later.

"When I finally made it past the dreadful glow of its eyes, the rest of the thing's face came into focus..."

Strange Bedfellows, On A Pale Horse, and More

I am very pleased to announce that the Anthology STRANGE BEDFELLOWS has been published, which contains my short story DANCE: THE DEVIL'S ORGASM. I received my contributor's copy last week, and let me say this is a gorgeous book. Available in stores next week, STRANGE BEDFELLOWS is the twelfth volume in the long-running HOT BLOOD series, the anthology that mixes horror and erotica. There's a lot of great stories in this beautiful trade paperback, from the likes of Greg Kihn, Christa Faust, JF Gonzalez, Graham Masterton, Stephen Gresham, and many others. You like your horror hot? Then this is the book for you!






I'm also proud to announce my participation in the novella collection, ON A PALE HORSE. Here's the announcement from the HARBINGER BOOKS website:


Harbinger Books is pleased to announce ON A PALE HORSE "It is a time of uncertainty, a time of preparation. Demons walk the earth in human guise, their mortal servants toiling behind the scenes to usher in centuries of darkness as the host of Legion rises to power. Fighting against them is a heavenly army of angels, battle weary and merciless, determined to win back the world for the glory of the Lord. Between them are you and I and the rest of humanity, struggling to find our own destiny in a world gone mad with fear and violence..." Authors Brian Keene, Mike Laimo, Tim Lebbon, and Gord Rollo provide us with their own unique visions of this apocalyptic setting in four novella-length tales of horror and dark fantasy. Harbinger Books' newest release, ON A PALE HORSE, will be presented as a signed, limited edition hardcover volume of 500 copies, complete with a satin bookmark and housed in a slipcase. Publication is set for Halloween 2005.


For those that are interested in getting a copy, you can preorder one at the Harbinger Books website:

Also...don't forget about the big Halloween booksigning event next week, Friday October 29th, at the Barnes & Noble in Framingham Massachusetts. On hand will be Christopher Golden, Rick Hautala, Tom Sneigoski, and myself, discussing Halloween, our books, and signing copies.

Okay...I know I promised a big announcement regarding DEEP IN THE DARKNESS, but...it's gonna have to wait until next time. Some last minute details are being worked out! And don't forget...THE DEMONOLOGIST is coming, May 2005!

Thanks for your continued support!
