Scarecrow Fields Publishing

I would like to formally introduce my new publisher, Scarecrow Fields. It is mine. From now on, all of my books will be published under this banner instead of eBook Nightmare. Its something I've wanted to do for quite a while and the time felt right. What this means is that there will be new stuff on the way very soon.

First of all, there will be a paperback reissue of Sticks And Stones. It will be the extended cut that contains a storyline that was initially removed and will have Just In Sight at the end. Parts 2 & 3 will follow soon. There will also be a reissue of Campfires: A Collection of Horrors with some new stories thrown in for good measure. Finally there will be what looks to be my first novel called SWAN POINT.

SWAN POINT is a mix of 1930's crime noir and Lovecraftian gothic horror. I'm really excited about all of this and hope to be churning them out soon!

At this time I am not taking on new authors for SF. That day may come in the future but not now. If it does, I may start with a charity anthology and see how it goes but its too early to be thinking of that.

That's all for now. In the words of the great George A. Romero, "stay scared!"

Full Moon classics

Any horror fan from the late 80's - early 90's has more than likely heard of Charles Band's Full Moon Films. The company has produced tons of films in the horror/sci fi genres. Here's the thing, they're great! Full Moon was the Hammer Films of my youth. They hold a special place in my little black heart.

The one series that stands out most to me is Ted Nicolaou's Subspecies. Thus far there are five films
Subspecies
Bloodstone: Subspecies II
Bloodlust: Subspecies III
Bloodstorm: Subspecies IV
and The Vampire Journals ties into them. There is rumors that a part 5 is in the works (Ted, if you read this, please say this is true. The fans desperately want it!)

The films follow the vampire Radu (Anders Hove) through the beautiful Romanian setting as he tries to capture, the equally beautiful, Michelle Morgan (played by Denice Duff).

I found the complete chronicles on Amazon.com for a very reasonable price. All five films on five discs complete with the behind the scenes segments on each. The transfer, picture, sound is all very well done. If you're like me and remember these gems, this is well worth the price. All of these films are cult classics. I should know... I'm one of the cultists!

Nightmare at the Movies!

When I first picked up the pen to start writing, my original intent was to write screenplays and work on short films. Somewhere along the way I found myself writing literary fiction. I'm not complaining, mind you. Not at all. I love writing these stories and hearing from all of you. But there has always been that part of me that has nagged, "hey, when the hell are we finally going to do the movie thing?!"

Well I am VERY happy to report that a movie IS in the works!

Many of you have told me before that you enjoyed my zombie story BIRTHDAY WISH. Since its initial release by Knightwatch Press in 2011, its became a reader favorite. Today I have been told that work has begun on the screenplay and is being produced by Robber Ant Productions.

It will be written and directed by (HUMAgeddon comic book author) Robert Butt. I've seen a clip from his current film project (The Divine Wraith) and am confident that my story is in good hands!

I will continue to provide updates as they come. In the meantime, its back to work on Sticks and Stones 2.

Have a look at the first teaser poster as well.
