In Delirium II

Just a quick note, folks: the anthology In Delirium II (containing my story 'The Garbage Man') is now on sale. Go here to order a copy: https://www.horror-mall.com/store/product.php?productid=17321&cat=0&page=1

There are only 274 limited editions, so hurry before they're all gone!

In Delirium II is a sequel to the original In Delirium, which was edited by Brian Keene. As with the first volume, this second one is a tribute anthology to Delirium’s proprietor, Shane Staley, and is composed of stories written by authors who have been previously published by Delirium. The project was conceived and put together by John Everson.

2007 Reading List

A bit late, I know, but I've been busy with the puppy, trying to train her and stop her from biting (she especially loves ankles and hands!).

So, this is a list of all the books I read in 2007* This is the first time I've done such a list, so I hope you enjoy taking a peek into my literary tastes.
