Necrotic Tissue: It's a contender
A few days ago, I received a comp copy of Necrotic Tissue No. 9 which contains my story “The Circus.”
Loved it. And not just because it contains one of my pieces. The digest-sized magazine clocks in at around 120 pages, contains a diversity of high-quality horror prose and one of the best interviews I’ve read with Texas scribe Joe R. Lansdale. Not to mention, the colorfully grotesque cover looks pretty sharp. This mag has turned into a real contender.
It’s nice to see NT evolve from an online publication into a print pub of such high quality. Lord knows, with fewer and fewer paying outlets for short horror fiction, we need it.
“Whatsoever” takes the Moonlit Path
Just returned from a few relaxing days at the beach with my wife to find out that my tale of fundamentalist fear, ”Whatsoever a Man Soweth,” is now online in the summer issue of Tales from the Moonlit Path.
It was inspired by a nightmare last fall, when it actually looked like Sarah Palin might end up a heartbeat away from the U.S.presidency. I racked up 16 rejection letters before I finally found a taker.
Thankfully, it looks like the former Gov. You-Betcha isn’t going to be getting anywhere near the White House, but the tale is available for you to savor just the same.
