Halloween Outfits & Xenophiles
I wrote an autobiographical piece on Halloweens past for THe GaL iN THe BLue MaSK's 31 DAYS OF HORROR feature. It's somewhat notable because it's the only place online where you'll find a photograph of my ugly mug.
You can read it here.

The Empire of Ice Cream
Sadly, none of my favorite author's short story collections are available in audio book format. I had the idea recently to revisit all of Jeffrey Ford's short works through audio to see what I could learn from a modern master of the form, but I quickly found that my educational plan could not be enacted in full. Luckily, a number of his stories were recorded for various podcasts and are available for free in disparate locales across the internet.
The Empire of Ice Cream is one such story. And I highly recommend you give it a listen. Genre-wise, it falls somewhere between science fiction and fantasy set in the modern world.
You can find it here. (The story begins at approximately 00:09:30)
- Hugo Nomination for Best Novelette 2004.
- Nebula for Best Novelette 2003.
- World Fantasy Award Nomination for Best Novella 2004

Here there be puppets!
It's 2 Day! The Kindle edition of Bad Apples 2: Six Slices of Halloween Horror is now available (the paperback edition is right around the corner). Reach out and grab it, if you're so inclined.
This anthology contains my new novella Doctor Proclivity & Professor Propensity. And, yes, as advertised, there are scads and gobs and oodles of puppets therein.

The minds behind the bestselling BAD APPLES: FIVE SLICES OF HALLOWEEN HORROR return this October with another batch of frightful fare. This time, they brought along a friend - Bram Stoker Award-winning author Kealan Patrick Burke!
Dive into the season with these six Halloween treats:
• Two boys enter a Halloween attraction that holds a devilish secret - but one of the boys has a surprise of his own in Edward Lorn's HALLOWEEKEND.
• Halloween was his birthday, and all poor Bob Talley wanted was for his family to be together again. This year, his wish might come true amid whispers of CANDIE APPLE, from Evans Light.
• A deserter seeks to escape the horrors of war and pave a new existence in a foreign land in Jason Parent's DIA DE LOS MUERTOS.
• Does something putrid truly reside in a small town’s pumpkin patch, or is it only a local legend? Find out in Adam Light's TOMMY ROTTEN.
• An old man and his dog await Halloween visitors with candy and a shotgun in Kealan Patrick Burke's THE ONE NIGHT OF THE YEAR.
• Jimmy Stones and his Uncle Shel uncover the dark secrets of Medium, Ohio's annual Halloween puppet show in Gregor Xane's DOCTOR PROCLIVITY & PROFESSOR PROPENSITY.

Get yourself a little something to kick off the month of Halloween
To celebrate the imminent release of Bad Apples 2: Six Slices of Halloween Horror, the man at the helm of Corpus Press (Evans Light) is offering the original Bad Apples for just 99¢.
I believe this promotion is only going on for a couple of days, so if you're at all interested, you may want to grab it while the grabbing's good.
