  • We’ll be debuting our first color book at Zombiefest this weekend. But it’s also available for pre-order right now on our site for a discount. An irreverent and illustrated look at the ABC’s of death featuring 26 ways to die, one for each letter of the alphabet. Every shocking entry is accompanied by an equally…

  • HorrorFind in March

    The next Horrorfind Weekend is March 28-30th and it looks like we’ll be going. I just signed up for the table. The cool thing for us is they are moving to a new location in Adelphi/College Park MD. 20 minutes from our house! I know it seems like Baltimore is a local con for us…

  • I’ve been thinking that we’ve outgrown our financial software for some time now. It’s unwieldy and there a lot of things you can’t do or un-do with it. So I’ve been researching other options and am pretty excited by one that is a web-based service. I love web-based applications because you can use them anywhere…

  • A Couple Cool Requests

    The Editor of the standard catalogs for HW Wilson contacted us requesting a few of our books for inclusion in their catalogs. They maintain several databases that libraries use for ordering books and collection development. It’s great that word of our releases is getting out to places like this. We also had a request for…

  • Issue 28

    The new issue of The Deam People is now online featuring loads of cool stuff including an excerpt from Discouraging at Best, a story titled “The Ankle-Biter’s Guide to Slithering.” It’s kind of amazing that this RDSP monstrosity grew from The Dream People zine. It’s also cool to see Dale Houstman in this issue since…

  • Arnzen Interview

    There’s a great interview with Mike Arnzen in At Home With Jennifer Magazine (the Jennifer in question is not me though). Dr. Dread: Seton Hill University has its own professor of horror. Scroll down until you see Mike’s picture.

  • The Baltimore Book Festival

    The Baltimore Book Festival was a great experience. It’s one of the few non-genre events we’ve done and it worked out really well. Our name and book covers made a big impression on people. I don’t know how many people walked by and just had to say, “Raw Dog Screaming Press.” There were plenty of…

  • Bizarro Article

    The Oregonian recently ran an interesting article, mostly about Eraserhead Press but also covering bizarro in general. It’s cool to see the genre getting more press. http://www.oregonlive.com/oregonian/stories/index.ssf?/base/living/1190672708176070.xml&coll=7&thispage=1 Don’t forget we’ll be at the Baltimore Bookfest this entire weekend! I hope some of you locals will stop by. Rumor has it will be in attendance.

  • Credit Due

    Jeremy Shipp’s signing for Vacation at the end of last month went really well. Vacation was the store’s bestseller of the week due to the interest generate by the signing. I’ve finally gotten some pictures of the event up here: http://www.rawdogscreaming.com/redlands.html I wish I could take some credit for this event but Jeremy set it…

  • Inquisition

    Here’s the interview that Mutantville did with us at Horrorfind. There’s so much more I could have said! I just don’t think very quickly on my feet. But at least it’s short.

  • Finally got all the pics from HorrorFind up on the web site. Check ’em out: http://www.rawdogscreaming.com/hf2007.html I really love the pics of people posing with the six foot sub at the party. I didn’t have space for all of those but you can see the whole bunch if you go back a few days in…

  • Interview

    Our own Donna Lynch was interviewed along with Steven Archer by the folks at Mutantville during HorrorFind. They talked about their band Ego Likeness, their favorite horror movies and Donna’s writing. And by the way, Donna’s chapbook, Ladies and Other Vicious Creatures is now available! But it is a limited edition and the copies are…

  • I wanna know

    Every year at HorrorFind I’ve seen this person dressed up in this costume; a white dress, white make-up, super long fake silver fingernails etc. Is this a character from a movie? Or did this person just make this up? Hell, maybe they do their grocery shopping in this outfit.

  • Back from HorrorFind

    We’re back from HorrorFind and starting to catch up on things. It was a really good time and there will be pictures soon. Things were pretty laid back, especially since we had lots of help from ego_likeness. Much love! This year’s was the best party we’ve thrown and things were so much less stressful than…

  • Party!

    We’re gearing up for HorrorFind this weekend. It looks like we will actually be able to accept credit cards this year. That’s great because every other year the ATM has run out of money and, let me tell you, the sales pretty much crash at that point. You are all cordially invited to our Saturday…

  • Audiovillain Contest!

    Mike Arnzen is running a great contest to support the release of Audiovile. PRIZES: + A signed deck of the very rare, very bizarro, custom-designed PLAY DEAD playing cards! Plus a five track CDR sampler from Audiovile + $15 Shocklines.com Gift Certificate + one random surprise gift from the Arnzen archives! + The actual hand-corrected…

  • I’ve been working on a chapbook of poems by Donna Lynch titled Ladies and Other Vicious Creatures. We’ll be using it to promo her novel Isabel Burning. I like doing layout for boutique projects like this because there’s lots of space to make things look real spiffy. Plus it has great illustrations from artist Steven…

  • Brain Candy

    Gentlemen, behold… another one of my promo shorts. This one is for Audiovile and was way more complicated to do than the rest. I’m no Brandon Duncan, that’s for sure, but I think this is a fun piece.

  • In between projects—it’s a dangerous place for me. This time around I’m extra gun-shy of starting up new projects. I really wore myself out with that last bunch of books and somewhere along the way I’ve lost a lot of my enthusiasm for working with new authors. I’m definitely excited about doing D. Harlan Wilson’s…
