Recently, Library Journal posted a review of Casefile: ARKHAM – Her Blood Runs Cold… Hank Flynn, who bears an uncanny resemblance to actor Robert Mitchum, is a recently returned World War II marine who has just received his PI license, and his first assignment is a doozy! Trying to locate a vanished, untouchable playboy who’s been behaving badly, the amateur sleuth encounters a feast of gritty cynics, twisted con men, and bodacious, independent women. Haunting this fast-paced noir like an invisible villain are sinister dark forces: imagine Dashiell Hammett meets H.P. Lovecraft to produce a marvelous gumshoe adventure set in the flickering, neon-lit 1940s AndRead More →

The following is taken from the person blog of author Josh Finney     What’s it like to be shot? To nearly die? To live and work as author with chronic nightmares and post-traumatic stress? To say the This Is Horror Podcast took some strange and very dark turns when they interviewed me recently would understatement. I’m sure at some point we intended to talk more about my work, but I ended up dropping such a bombshell on interviewers Michael David Wilson & Bob Pastorella at the beginning, we ended up digging into the darkest moments of my past, my nightly battle with chronic nightmares, and what itRead More →

DJ from “MyLifeMyBooksMyEscape” sat down with Nicole Cushing to discuss “The Sadist’s Bible”, living in the mid west, Shirley Jackson, and the popularity of novellas. Here is a sample: DJ: What is the world of The Sadist’s Bible like? NC: Most of the book takes place in our own world. (Specifically, in southern Indiana, Kentucky, and Virginia.) In other words, the Bible Belt. The culture of the Bible Belt plays a large role in the story. It shapes the social mores that Ellie, in particular, is trying to escape from. But part of the story takes place in a mystical realm. (To avoid spoilers, I won’t divulgeRead More →

Recently, horror writer and Stoker winner Nicole Cushing wrote an editorial for the Ginger Nuts of Horror about nightmares, dissociation, experiencing death at an early age, and how that has affected her writing, especially for penning her latest novella, The Sadist’s Bible. Here is a sample: I don’t mind such nightmares. Nightmares are research. Now, to be clear, nightmares lack the narrative structure of a story and they typically lack well-developed characters, too. So there’s still a lot of work to do after I wake from them. (It isn’t just a matter of getting zapped with the right nightmare and writing it all down. As withRead More →
