"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..."

VARIOUS UPDATES

Hi Everyone,

So much going on, and so little time to get it all done. But, I did
want to share a few items of interest.

My next novel, DEAD SOULS, will be released at the beginning of
February, 2007. I'm going to go out on a limb right now and say that
this is my best, and most scariest novel to date. A lot of sweat
went into this one, and I believe it shows. It's a wait from now,
but to whet your appetite, you can check out the cover, which was
just recently released to me. See it here at my website, or at my Myspace page, at
http://www.myspace.com/michaellaimo

On the movie news front, DEEP IN THE DARKNESS is in the development
stages and is still on track to begin filming in the Fall of 2007,
for a Summer 2008 release. TRIPTYCH, the film anthology of three of
my short stories, has been delayed in favor of filming a full-length
feature of my short story ANXIETY. ANXIETY was one of the stories
originally considered to be included in TRIPTYCH, but the screenplay
for it had run too long. Upon further consideration, the crew at
Burning Grounds Motion Entertainment decided that ANXIETY would make
a more suitable follow-up to their second completed film, LADYBUGS
(check out the trailer here: http://www.myspace.com/ladybugs_movie.)
The script is now being lengthened, and casting is under way.

I will be a featured guest author at the Horrorfind Weekend
Convention, August 11th-13th, in Hunt Valley, Maryland. Info on the
convention can be found here: http://www.horrorfindweekend.com. This
is a GREAT convention, with tons of celebrities, and thousands of
fans. Hope to see some of you there!

I've also recently completed a number of interviews, which will
appear on various websites over the next couple of months. As well,
I was recently interviewed for APEX digest, and will have a short
story in their next issue, to be published in September. Apex will
also be publishing GRIM TRIXTER, an anthology of amazing dark poetry
by newcomer Brandy Schwan, for which I wrote the introduction for.
Brandy is an amazingly talented writer, and will be one to watch in
the near future. All Apex info can be found at their website:
http://www.apexdigest.com.

My limited edition novella DESECRATION is selling well from
Bloodletting Press. This will be a signed and numbered edition of
only 400 copies. Get a copy here: http://www.bloodlettingbooks.com
before they're gone!

That's it for now--I'll be sending out more frequent updates as the
interviews are posted, and the movies progress.

Thanks for all your support!

Michael
