Does your significant other regularly force you to watch movies you deem “too scary?” Does he or she have at least one tee shirt featuring a dismembered limb? Do they regularly refer to Valentine’s Day as “that black hole of consumerism in the middle of February?” If so, there’s a good chance your significant other
I wonder if I’m the only one that finds my blog post titles vaguely sexual. “Mount My Skull?” Well, if you insist. Unfortunately, I can’t take credit for this latest one, “Tickle My Pig.” It’s the name of a local barbecue joint I’ve only recently discovered. Anyone who has followed this blog knows that if
Sometimes people ask writers where they get their ideas. And usually, there isn’t a good answer, because really, where do ideas come from? I’m not sure what they expect. I guess maybe they think horror writers have some kind of mental illness that causes them to hear voices. Come on people. That’s just crazy. Horror

Our good friend Kara, from Random Thoughts of a Writery Girl, has gone and tagged me for a Meme. Well, I can’t disappoint now, can I. 1. If you could have any superpower, what would you have? Why? I think I’d rather enjoy being able to transform into a 1,000 pound Jack O’ Lantern with
I usually like to post links to some different online Halloween radio stations once October hits. This year is no different: Halloween Radio Spooky October Radio Shoutcast Top Halloween Radio NeverEndingWonder Corresponding to the NeverEndingWonder Halloween Empire page, check out this announcement: “Every year for the month of October NeverEndingWonder.com broadcasts three Halloween radio stations.

My story, “When Ayanna Kapoor Waits,” has been accepted to On Spec. I’m really excited to be a part of this very cool magazine,
