Tom Bradley was on The Lair of the Yak this weekend and the show is now archived. Check it out here: http://operator11.com/shows/3835/episodes/41801 I was *really* impressed with Tom’s performance of the 2nd chapter out of Lemur. The voice he did for Spencer (the wannabe serial killer/busboy) was so great. Plus The Lair of the Yak…

Steven Archer, illustrator and author of Luna Maris is doing an awesome online exhibit – 365 Days of Blasphemous Horror. The first installment will go live today! If you want to keep up with the project go here http://syndicated.livejournal.com/weirdtales_mag/profile and add it to your friends.

The current issue of American Book Review has a fantastic review of Dr. Identity. Here’s a quote: This book’s better’n the bushelfull of Benzedrine-spiked donut holes with which Dr. Identity tries to bribe his students into civilized demeanor! Pomo cybertheory never tasted so good or made you fly this high! Buy this book before the…

Tom Bradley will be a special guest on this week’s edition of Lair of the Yak!. The show will be recorded live this Saturday, May 24th at 9:00pm EST. Here’s where you can watch it: http://operator11.com/shows/3835/episodes/41801

I recently had to write a little description about RDSP and was surprised at how much there was to say about our press. I guess I don’t normally think about how far we’ve come, just how much further there is to go. The Dog’s Pedigree Raw Dog Screaming Press was founded in 2003 by John…

CPR for Dummies is now available for PRE-ORDER!. We’re running a pre-order discount $2 off the paperback and $5 off the hardcover. Open to any page in CPR for Dummies and you just may read a line like this: He’s a priest; of course he hesitated when he realized he was about to hit someone…

“Lyrical, unsettling, and deeply evocative, Adam Golaski’s stories lure readers through deceptively familiar portals: rural roadside diners, uninhabited river islands, shadowed woods. But inside are worlds fresh and strange, haunted as much by loneliness as fear, where the living and the less-than-dead alternately terrify and cling to each other.” —Glen Hirshberg, American Morons

Awhile back I sent the author photos to the web people at HorrorFind. Now I see that all our authors are listed on the celebrities page. I singled Donna out because she’s the one who brought it to my attention. I’m still waiting to hear back about doing a mass signing for the RDSP authors…

Here’s a cool article about Darin Malfi doing a signing at Twilight Comic’s free comic day event. Darin’s a fabulous illustrator and a funny guy. It’s cool to see him pimping A Child’s Guide to Death.

They raised the minimum rate for media mail another 10 cents. I know it doesn’t sound like much but with the amount of books we mail out it makes a difference. Five years ago, when we started, media rate was $1.42. This is why we aren’t able to do many multi-author projects. The more contributors…

Horror Fiction Review has it’s first online edition up: http://www.novellopublishers.com/fanzine.html For so long they did an old-school print zine but now they’ve switched to online. It’s always kind of sad when that happens but I’m excited about the online version. I’m especially psyched because I stumbled onto a review of Isabel Burning there. Here’s a…

First blurb is in for Horror is Not a 4-Letter Word: Witty, edgy, and on-the-mark, Matthew Warner shares an insider’s view of the Wide World of Horror, from writing horror fiction to the misconceptions of outsiders to finding the “fun in morbidity” right in one’s own backyard. —Elizabeth Massie, Bram Stoker winning author of Sineater,…

Wow, it doesn’t look like I ever posted the cover for CPR for Dummies either. Open to any page in CPR for Dummies and you just may read a line like this: He’s a priest; of course he hesitated when he realized he was about to hit someone with a crucifix. OR I needed to…

One of the things I’ve been working on lately is Matthew Warner’s non-fiction book that we are putting out through Guide Dog Books, Horror Isn’t a 4-Letter Word. It occurred to me that I never posted the awesome cover that Deena Warner designed: I love the way she used the scrabble letters!

We are running a special on Jeremy Shipp’s novel Vacation. For a limited time you can order the book for $10 postage paid in the US (international orders have to pay shipping) The first 10 people to order will also receive a free gift! (not a garden gnome though) Order here: http://www.rawdogscreaming.com/vacation.html Also, today is…

“In spare, luminous prose, Golaski conjures a unique blend of strangeness and menace. His vividly real characters are illuminated by the supernatural, even as it disrupts and changes their lives in ways that are variously enigmatic, disturbing and downright frightening.” —Christopher Harman, author of “In the Fields” and “The Last to Be Found”

I just finished editing my interview with artist Steven Archer about the children’s book Luna Maris and his art in general. Steve is a really interesting person so it was kind of hard to edit but I think it turned out pretty good.

did an awesome review of Lemur. Here’s a line from the review: …we see the world through the eyes of Spencer, a nobody, flake-wanna-be serial killer, friend of bums and other flakes, and by the hystercial conclusion we can’t help but feel as if we’d like to hang out with him. I’m pleased that pioneers…

Another visit from the blurb fairy: Jeremy C. Shipp writes about horrible things in marvelous ways. SHEEP AND WOLVES is a compulsively readable collection (I read the sucker in three sittings) filled with resplendent moments of satire, gruesome contrivances, and some of the sharpest, funniest dialogue around. These stories had me cringing and laughing out…

Just got the first blurb in for Worse Than Myself: “A strong collection with enough variation to keep readers riveted from the first story to the last. Worse Than Myself has the impulses of traditional horror but keeps things a little more open, inflecting the forms we’re familiar with and making them startlingly fresh again.”…

We got awesome news yesterday that The Advocate is running an article about Lemur on their web site and right now it’s on the front page! The Advocate is probably the most widely read Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender magazine in the world so this is great exposure for the book. It’s also a fascinating take on the book…

Rowdy Roddy Piper is going to be a guest at HorrorFind Weekend in August! I wonder if he would come to our 5 year anniversary party?

I’ve been trying to get a better handle on what’s been going on in the bizarro scene and also trying to partner with other bizarro authors to spread the word. So I recently read Andersen Prunty’s Overwhelming Urge and wrote a review of it: The Overwhelming Urge has a certain underlying rhythm to it, like…

Another Lemur review is in: “At no point will the reader be bored as the story’s world is populated with bizarre characters that have even stranger schemes.”—Jeff Burk Read the full review on Liteary Strange Digest
