Dread Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Hola! Dark: A Horror Anthology is now available for ordering! This is the first honest to goodness book to feature a published story by me. So buy it. Besides me, there's stories by Keith Latch, Brother D from Mail Order Zombie and JP Moore. My story, "The Doom that came to Black Water" takes place in a little western town of Black Water as Sheriff Mason watches a stranger ride into town on a horse as black as sin. What's real worryin' is the giant black cloud following the man. Black Water is doomed, they just don't know it yet. It's fulla cussin', drinkin' and cosmic horror in the first Lovecraftian Western you'll probably ever read. Be the first on your block, or even the first, to own one. Hell, order 600! Daddy needs a new pair of shoes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Wow, Des, I'll certainly get in on this when I have some cash. Looks great and congrats, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 That's pretty damn cool. I'll definitely have to give this a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted March 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Thanks fellas! Also, I just cooked up an incentive to buy. Everyone who buys Dark: AHA and forwards their Lulu receipt to feedback@dreadmedia.net will receive a free copy of my upcoming self-published limited edition chapbook called (tentatively) Tiny Terrors.

Dread Posted March 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Excellent. It should also be mentioned that Bryan Wolford (from the Drunken Zombie Podcast) and Steve Wands (DC Comics letterer extraordinaire) are the editors of this fine publication. I've read Keith Latch's story and it's rad, the town of Black Water plays an important role in an upcoming story I'm doing and I'm pretty sure that Brother D's story (he's Derek Koch) contains a character he's cross-platforming as well. Great jumping on stuff here. I'm psyched to read the rest, myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrick Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Congratulations, Des! I'll be ordering a copy later on this week and I look forward to reading not only your story (which I'm sure is jaw-droppingly good) but the others as well!

Dread Posted April 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 News. Bit of a delay, but we're looking into something that will make it cheaper for the peeps to buy. Hold on for more updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 We may have found a new home with in-roads into stores so I'll keep you updated as to when the public can get them. Until then, to entice you(or put you off) I have below a sample of just one of the several 67 word short stories to be found in my self-published chapbook: "Something About Old Habits Dying Hard" He awoke on the floor. Again. His nose was still bleeding. Again. Woozier than last time, he felt alright otherwise. Both nostrils now rushed blood, albeit, at a slower pace. His clothes, drenched white T-shirt red, blue jeans dark purple made a squelchy sticking sound every time he moved. As the pool expanded slowly around him, he wondered to himself aloud: If only I could stop picking." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Hey peeps, Dark: A Horror Anthology is now available for purchase. It is five bucks cheaper than it originally was too! Straight from Createspace Or from Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted April 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Another incentive to buy, a large section of Tiny Terrors will be dedicated to what I am calling "Haikusploitation." This is very simply, haikus about exploitation films. Examples below: Reefer Madness Hey, tell your children Pot leads to sex, death, madness, And worst of all: jazz. Vanishing Point Drive until you die. I guess that’s kind of the point. Get it? I said “point.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted May 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 I'm taking suggestions for other exploitation films you might want a haiku written about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted May 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Seriously, peeps. I need some help with exploitation films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I can't suggest a film, but what about the Bruceploitation genre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted May 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I'm not really familiar. I'll see if I can grab one and give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Have you done a Salo haiku? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted May 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I have "Salo: or 120 Days of Sodom" typed into my haiku document. No poem yet, but it's gonna get one. I did, however, turn my Thriller banner into a haiku: Thriller: A Cruel Picture They called her one eye. So she trained herself to kill. Don’t call people names.

Dread Posted May 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Foxy Brown Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS Got 'em both! Rock 'n' Roll High School I've never thought about this as more than a musical comedy. Is there anything really exploitative about it? In other news, I've got 27 haikus in the can now.
