My book review of 11/22/63 by Stephen King is now live at Lit Reactor
Posted on November 19, 2011 Leave a Comment
My review of 11/22/63 is now live at LitReactor and I think it’s Stephen King’s best book in awhile. You don’t have to be a fan of JFK and/or conspiracy theories in order to dig this book. And the time travel aspects are certainly a part of this story, but really, it’s the way that […]
My review of Shannon Cain’s The Necessity of Certain Behaviors is live at The Nervous Breakdown
Posted on November 17, 2011 Leave a Comment
My review of Shannon Cain’s collection of dark, sexy, humorous stories is live up at The Nervous Breakdown. This book was the winner of the 2011 Drue Heinz prize, which yielded us the fantastic The Physics of Imaginary Objects by Tina May Hall last year. Shannon really put together a compelling book, one that should […]
New Column – Storyville up at Litreactor.com
Posted on October 26, 2011 5 Comments
Litreactor.com has launched, and man is this site taking off. It’s an offshoot of The Cult, taking all of the publishing, craft, and literature conversations as well as workshops, classes, lectures, reviews and columns away from what was essentially the Chuck Palahniuk fan club, and moving it all to a new base. I’m thrilled that […]

Maybe you’ve never heard of Frank Bill. Well, open them damn ears, son. I just went to the release party for Crimes in Southern Indiana down in Corydon, Indiana. Yes, I dragged Chris Deal, Livius Nedin and Robb Olson with me. Yes, there was a fifty foot sign that said HELL IS REAL about halfway […]
Cemetery Dance – stories, contests and things that go bump in the night.
Posted on September 14, 2011 Leave a Comment
So, my buddies over at Cemetery Dance are having a contest. They’re giving away a lot of books. Why not help them get the word out about one of my favorite presses. Sure, I published a story “Stillness” in Shivers VI with some hacks named Stephen King and Peter Straub. So what? I’ve been buying […]
My review of Short Bus by Brian Allen Carr is live at The Nervous Breakdown.

My review of the short story collection, Short Bus by Brian Allen Carr is now live at The Nervous Breakdown. This is a wild bunch of stories set along the Texas and Mexico border. Carr takes the essence of wanderlust mixes it with the desert heat and tosses in a bit of failure with just […]
Pablo D’Stair’s VHS
Posted on August 24, 2011 2 Comments
Pablo D’Stair is one of the hardest working men in the literary world today. Besides being a prolific author, he is also the man behind the now defunct Brown Paper Publishing. I’ll always have a soft spot for Pablo if for nothing else, because he originally published one of the best micro-fiction collections I’ve ever […]
My review of The Devil All the Time by Donald Ray Pollock is live at The Nervous Breakdown
Posted on August 18, 2011 Leave a Comment
The first time I met Donald Ray Pollock was at a reading he did opening up for Chuck Palahniuk in St. Louis. It was a wild night, and I dragged my younger brother Bill out with me—he’d never seen Palahniuk read before. The event was packed, and the audience couldn’t have been more hip, more […]
