It's award time again for writers....

Well, it's the end of the year and for genre writers this means frantic scurrying to read and nominate all those books and stories you never had the chance read all year long. And for someone like myself who writes in multiple genres, and is a member of multiple writer organizations, it means a lot of eye strain!

With that in mind (and because a few people have nudged me to get my ass in gear), I am also posting that I have a couple of works eligible for awards, in the horror and science fiction/fantasy categories. So, if you're reading this, and you're part of the HWA or the SFWA (or even the Thriller Writers!), please feel free to take a gander.

"The Lazarus Effect" is a weird urban fantasy that involves people facing the possible end of the world when zombies and religion collide. It's out now in the latest edition of Cemetery Dance (#74/75, the big double issue). If you're a member of either organization, you read it for free here: http://www.jgfaherty.com/thelazaruseffect.html

Also eligible, in the long fiction/novella category, is Death Do Us Part, from the now-defunct Samhain Publishing. This is a Tales from the Crypt-type story about revenge from beyond the grave. It's available on Amazon or by emailing me at jgfaherty@yahoo.com.

So, hopefully I've done my duty for promotion and I can get back to work on those things that are really important for writers: social media, coffee, wine, and sometimes writing.

Women in Horror Month Guest Blog: Linda D. Addison

Photo by Stu Jenks Linda D. Addison is an award-winning poet and author who uses words and phrases the way artists use the tiniest of brushes - subtle nuances abound in her writing, which can range from bright and colorful to dark and somber, often in the space of a single phrase.To date, she has more than 200 poems to her credit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What It Takes to Write Strange Stuff by Linda D. Addison So here we are in February, Black History Month and I’m a triple threat: Black, Woman, Horror Writer. I’m old enough to remember a time when these descriptions weren’t celebrated. The thing is that I’m a quietly, stubborn person. I realize now that I was like that as a child so I wrote my weird stuff regardless. I wish there wasn’t a need for a Black History Month or Women In Horror Month or Black Women in Horror Month, but unfortunately it’s sadly clear that they are needed. Too many peop...

Hark! The Herald Angels Scream - a review

So, I recently finished reading the holiday-themed horror anthology Hark! The Herald Angels Scream , edited by Christopher Golden and published through Blumhouse Books. As you can probably deduce, the antho's theme is holiday-oriented stories. Some involve Christmas, some Yule, and some just the general winter season of December. All of them have a dark core, and the stories range from outright horror scares to subtle suspense, with more than a few falling in the 'weird fiction' category. The TOC includes some of the genre's biggest names (Joe R. Lansdale, Sarah Pinborough, Jonathan Maberry, Kelley Armstrong, Josh Malerman) along with several acclaimed authors who aren't in the public eye but should be. My favorites in the anthology are "Mistletoe and Holly" by James A. Moore (a gleefully twisted take on the old adage of be careful what you wish for), "Love Me" by Thomas E. Sniegoski (a poignant example of how trying to do the right thing...

VAMPIRES: LOVE & VIOLENCE - guest blog by Nancy Kilpatrick

VAMPIRES: LOVE & VIOLENCE Nancy Kilpatrick  Today's blog features a special guest appearance by acclaimed author and editor, Nancy Kilpatrick, who's written more than 20 novels in the horror, supernatural, and paranormal genres, edited 15 anthologies, and been recognized by Fangoria as "Canada's answer to Anne Rice."  She's best known for her vampire novels and short stories, including her latest, Savagery of the Rebel King , which comes out this month. I've been a fan of hers for a long time, and I'm more than happy to have her with us today talking about those sexy, scary creatures of the night, vampires !  **************   I've written and read way more vampire books than any mortal likely should.  The Undead have always fascinated me. They look like us, and now the modern vampire (unlike their dirtier grave-dwelling ancestors) smells like us. They sit at the next table at chic eateries and on one of the plastic seats at ...
