I’ve got mixed feelings about the comic coming to an end. There is sadness that it’s almost over, but I’m also eager to write these final two installments. Titled The Last Zombie: Eat the Rich and The Last Zombie: The End, they have been a delight to plot. I’m ecstatic about the twists and surprises in store. You’re going to dig them. Continue reading

How You Spent My Summer Vacation

Welcome back. I have returned from a month long sabbatical. Today, we’ll take a look at things that transpired during my absence. There are a lot of them, and we’ll come back and revisit some of the bigger stories with a Blog entry of their own in the next few days.

For those of you who liked the movie adaptation of Ghoul, Moderncine is offering a limited collector’s edition book featuring the screenplay and storyboards. And yes, I’ll be signing them. Details can be found here.

Paul Campion reports that filming has begun for the teaser trailer for the big screen adaptation of Dark Hollow. For details, see the film’s Facebook page.

There’s a new zombie anthology hitting bookstores in two weeks. 21st Century Dead features an all-new story by me called “Couch Potato”, which takes place in the world of Dead Sea and Entombed. Click here to pre-order.

Scientists have discovered distant human ancestors with shark heads. Just like the ones I wrote about in Earthworm Gods II: Deluge.

My co-writer on The Damned Highway, Nick Mamatas, offers the latest on the class action lawsuit against Publish America, and how the company was indirectly responsible for the creation of Shocklines.

According to Publisher’s Weekly, Amazon may purchase Dorchester’s back-list. My initial, on-vacation comments about it can be found here. I’ll offer full analysis and thoughts later this week.

Shane Ryan Staley announced that he was essentially no longer publishing as Delirium Books and would instead operate under the Dark Fuse imprint. This news caused quite a bit of consternation among collectors, especially those with lifetime subscriptions. I’ll examine their reactions, as well as Dark Fuse’s response, later this week.
