Maybe we can be better at celebrating life even as we’re saddened by its loss. But we all, at one time or another, have reason to mourn. We have no roadmap for this new territory. It’s a book of large truths disguised as small ones: “I remember,” he writes, “those times of not knowing if you feel really happy or really sad. In his jubilant and revivifying memoir, I Remember, the artist and writer Joe Brainard tabulated all the little things that can come to shape how we think about life. There can always be at least a glimmer of joy in remembering things that people gave us while they were here. Venture forth into the autumn woods and share in the atmosphere of these Halloween tales.But not even sorrow is one-dimensional. Bonus points for any other true Type O fanatic who catches the other reference to a separate song in it.Ĭheck it out now, in paperback and Kindle format on Amazon, and keep an eye out for when it may surface on the likes of Barnes and Noble where most other books from JEA can now be obtained (including my grindhouse splatterpunk opus Plebs).

I was going to go with the title ‘Shadow Domain’, then ran with the more direct Creepy Green Light, though both are referenced in the piece. If the subject matter appears eerily familiar, that is probably because it is, at least if you are familiar with the Type O Negative track ‘Creepy Green Light’ which which the story derives its name from. It is a dark love story and ultimately a horror one too, but nonetheless it is a love story, In it, I pared back bloody carnage and violence in favour of a creepier, somewhat supernatural vibe and for me, it is quite subdued in tone. My piece in this wicked collective is a little different from what most might expect from me, something of a departure from ultra violent, visceral depravity and grindhouse tongue in cheek horror, in fact it is more what one would call a love story. The turnaround on this book has been exceptional, considering it was only being discussed a month or so ago, and now it is here. but with a few fantasy type of things as well, with some of the usual suspects and others chiming in to write for it. The latest anthology which features a story from yours truly, has emerged from JEA, and managed to take off like a rocket in its first week out, climbing up into the top ten in horror anthologies in both the States and the UK.Īutumn Burning is a Halloween/Samhain themed collective of stories, predominantly horror.
