Temple of Dagon author published in two places coming up
Posted: Tue May 16, 2006 11:49 am
I am pleased to announce that two of my stories got placed in a few magazines -- the one is coming out in March 2007, but if you want to read one of my stories right now online go to the The Alchemy Post. This story published is in the vein of August Derleth's The Dark Boy. I am trying to live up to the comparison that April Derleth herself gave me -- the hybrid of H.P. Lovecraft and August Derleth. So I picked up New England Ghosts which features her father's story in it. As a result of that, I wrote the story The Hitchhiker's Wanderings. Then I got one more coming out in September and this is the biggest damned story I wrote to date. The sequel to HOUSE OF SPIDERS with Barbara Marjanovic.
The novella is a mix between the Mythos and Dracula, meaning the spiders will have a Mythos and Dracula origin. They started out by drinking Dracula's blood then from there they were offered up to the Great Old Ones. Donna Burgess was impressed enough to make me part of the Roster -- not only me but she's also getting Barbara Anna Marjanvoic. The stories on Temple of Dagon are dark but this upcoming story is my most hardcore to date, you want the high octane Stephen King style horror -- you're going to get your fix in that style of horror. You got two writers influenced by King, then one influenced by Poe and another influenced by H.P. Lovecraft so put that together you would have the most hellish story in the small press.
The other story that is being published is going to be found in TALES OF THE TALISMAN magazine, the story I wrote for that one is going to be exclusive. Titled THE TYPEWRITER. That one is a ghost story which I got part of the inspiration from living in my new apartment in Justice, Illinois. I also wrote a Sci-Fi story too titled FLYING CIGARS which is a UFO one, I am going to record this one eventually but my room mates are going to help me do this one. I am auditioning heavy metal bands who have a sci-fi background for this. I will be due to write a Mythos story later in the year again and will be exclusive to this website, just trying to do all the draftwork for it. My true story Observations Of An Abandoned Seminary will be appearing in Tales of the Talisman too, next month it will be hitting the streets. House of Spiders 3 will pick up right where the first two stories leave off, I am also doing a contest for LAKE FOSSIL for those who do write fan fiction they can do some for the series. There will be an entry fee for the contest though, that will cover the funds for the anthology that will happen in September.
