  • IN THE DEAD OF DAYLIGHT

    If you come around here enough, then you’ve been to Valmar, Delaware and know what awaits you there. But have you been over the bridge to South Jersey? I have. I spent most of my life there. Come on. Let me tell you a story about the Down Jersey Dread…                                                                                            1992           Jericho Road runs…

    As I slowly (and I do mean slowly) eek out an episode here and there of In The Light Of… on Kindle Vella, I watch lots of YouTube videos for inspiration. What’s my story about? A friendly guy in the present day who helps people deal with UFO abductions. I’m trying to make the UFO…

  • Indie Horror Film: The Stink of Flesh

    From August 23-25, I attended Bubonicon 55, an annual convention of literary science fiction, fantasy, and related genres in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I was a panelist and a vendor. My vendor table, which featured books published by my company Hadrosaur Productions, was next to the table for Horrifying Hot Sauce. D. Ryan Mowry, the company’s…

  • Other than Print, or A Feast for the Ears

    The other day I re-read Andrea Merchak’s post on audiobooks. You can read it here. Andrea brings up a valid point regarding audiobooks: does the return on investment justify the cost? In most cases for most authors the answer is no. The ROI just isn’t there. Already there is too much competition, plus the too…

  • Wrong Turn

    A short story by Jack Tyler “Hospitals?” Renato shouted. “I hate hospitals! Don’t even get me started.” “You hate everything,” his older partner countered, taking a pull of the beer I’d bought them. “And not without good reason,” the young Latino declared. “The best place to be if you’re gonna spend time in a hospital…

  • Horror Games: Why Aren’t Books the Biggest Source of Inspiration for Them?

    I’m a big fan of everything related to Horror: books, movies, TV shows, art, even games. If it’s Horror, I’m interested. Lately I’ve been paying special attention to Horror games. Horror games have been successful since the time when Atari, now obsolete, was the best gaming platform. But no matter where you play, PlayStation, Xbox,…

    Story Structure for Horror Stories: Part One

    They say that there are two types of writers: those who plot and those who fly by the seat of their pants. Those who “pants” their stories are probably looking at this title and immediately clicking away. Don’t! It’s ok! There is absolutely no pressure to follow this outline, and this is just one option…

    The warrior waits. . . Waits for his war. . . Waits for his enemy. . . Waits for someone to test his blade. . . A fear I have is that of the unfulfilled purpose. Living my life, whether it be long or cut short, I fear dedicating my life to an endeavor that…

  • Horror in the Hundreds: There is no house except THE house

    by William J. Jackson GOOD DAY TO YOU. I SEE YOU’VE ONCE AGAIN COME TO DELAWARE FOR A RELAXING SUMMER. THE BEACHES ARE CLOSED. BUT VALMAR IS OPEN. PITY…                                     With passionate regret I purchased the house where Clotilde died. She rested now, immaculate in a lawn that never needed mowing,  beneath a stone cross…

  • It Goes on All Fours

    When I was in high school in Southern California, I made friends with brothers who recently moved to town from Gallup, New Mexico. At one point, they told me a story about driving in the desert at night near Gallup. They saw a coyote-like animal come out of the bush and run alongside the car.…
