Friends Unseen

 Catherine Cavendish is the author of  several novels and novellas, including The Devil's Serenade, Dark Avenging Angel, Saving Grace Devine, and The Pendle Curse. Today she's here to talk about some rather unsettling imaginary friends. When you were growing up, did you have an imaginary friend? Did they seem real to you? Maybe sort-of-real. You could talk to them, imagine their responses, play with them - but you probably kept the ‘relationship’ within certain boundaries, however young you were. In my case, I invented an entire family of siblings – three sisters (two older, one a few years younger) and an older brother who looked out for us girls. Being an only child, I found them comforting, and fun, but I never imagined them to be real. They, in turn, kept themselves firmly lodged in my own mind and never attempted to cross any boundary into the real world. In my novel, The Devil’s Serenade, my central character also had an imaginary family when she was a chil...

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.

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 ...

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...
