Dead Love at BookExpo A...

The wonderful folks at Stone Bridge Press have arranged for a Dead Love signing at BEA in New York next week. In addition to receiving a free advance reader’s copy, those who show up may get a wee bit of zombie swag. The signing will take place on Thursday, 5/27/10, at Table...

Prince of Darkness...

“Even now, these trees, these very vines, are ghosts. I should know. I live on the refuse. I and the flies and the rats and the other vermin that man so despises, hypocrite that he is. Who, if he had this garden to walk in, would give it up, would kill it? What kind of fiend?” Clément...

Dead Love: Zombie, Zumb...

Just in case you were wondering … the word “zombie” is very possibly of West African origin. In Kikongo “zumbi” means “fetish” and “nzambi” means “god.” The snake god was “Kimbundu nzambi,” though the name...

Dead Love: Zombie Seren...

Clément sent me this. I guess he exhumed it from the dead file. He claims it’s how he feels about me and, I have to admit, it has a haunting ring. What’s great is the boy band that sang it was The Zombies, a group that formed in St. Albans, a city near London, back in...

Dead Love: British Zomb...

What are you doing on July 4th? Perhaps you would like to go to Horwich (pronounced “Horrich”) Carnival where zombie organizers are hoping to break a world record when 2000 zombies march in the Carnival Parade. The record is currently held by the City of Manchester, which...

My Boyfriend is a Zombi...

copyright: Bart Frescur It’s playing in New York and anybody living or visiting there should check it out. In William Electric Black’s new musical, My Boyfriend is a Zombie, two boys love the same girl and both, the zombie and the tough guy, are competing to take her to...

Dead Love: Resurrecting...

This has always been a favorite of mine because it is so totally histrionic. Since both of Edgar Allan’s parents were actors, that’s hardly surprising. The poem is supposedly written by Ligeia, dark muse from the story of the same name, whose beauty and death so torments...

6. Hide and Seek...

Ryu did have a headache. The headache was Miura, or what was left of him. Miura, whom Ryu would later discover was not really Miura at all, now had the key to the Consortium’s caustic, money-fueled, geo-political nervous system in microchip form. It was the proof that they had,...

Dead Love: Bloody Zombi...

Apparently the heartland has been hit by a swarm of bloody zombies. Audrey mentioned it, then it was in the news that earlier this month the zombies walked in Oklahoma City—Saturday, May 1, to be exact. You might wonder why it’s taken me so long to tell you about it. Well,...
