Hello out there!
Deadlights is taking a backseat to Shotgun: Strange Stories. Strange Stories now has its own twitter: @shotgunmag and it has a new home on the web: https://t.co/k1MmnwMjYN
Follow if you dare!
(If any future Deadlights plans are hatched, I'll post it here.)
Strange Stories @shotgunmag is now accepting submissions!
Thanks to all my fellow veterans for serving and for the active folks still doing what you do.
I’m looking to put out an issue of Shotgun Strange Stories in December, likely publishing it around the 19th or the 20th! I’ll put more information up on @shotgunmag and https://t.co/t7B42M9Sjn. It’ll be fun!
My Halloween was boo'tiful. I hope you all had a scream!
My ghoul is to put out mags in 2020! Until then, I'll be working to raise things from the dead on my end. 👻
A page in the beginning of a novel states: This page is intentionally left blank. However, the blank page has been written upon to make said statement. Therefore, the page cannot be blank nor un-blank. 🤯
I want to read Genre Criticism. Like literary criticism, but without the PTSD of the academic dismissal of genre and set apart from the current genre marketing apparatus. Some lit. profs. study mystery or sci-if, but what about horror? Anyone know of any horror genre studies?
@saltylanguage1 Wow, for real? That’s awesome. That’d be my favorite class, too. Shirley Jackson is fantastic. I’d love to take a class on her work alone. Haha. Money well spent.
@1WomanWordsmith I also had a prof. who studied gothic lit! I took her class. Very fun. I like 20th cent. lit., which has great examples of southern gothic—love Faulkner. I know some study supernatural horror, too, like Lovecraft. But they all seem to distance themselves from the rest of horror.
My “Collecting the Modern Macabre” column has a new home in Centipede Press’ annual Weird Fiction Review! First issue ~ Dec. 2019.
To celebrate 🥳 I’m giving away #FREE the #horrorbooks below!
