Did any of you get to read The Living Dead
‘Who We Used To Be’ – a brand new, non-AUTUMN zombie tale, is amongst the 43 (43!!!) stories in the collection. And with authors including Max Brooks, David Wellington and Jonathan Maberry involved, this is something no serious zombie fan can afford to miss. Head over here to see the full table of contents.
Right now I’m working with a very cool bunch of people on some short promotional videos. Can’t say too much at the moment, other than it’s HATER / DOG BLOOD related. We’re looking for a few extras to help with a scene being filmed this Saturday, 6th March. If you’re available and you’re interested in helping out, send an email to dogblood@gmx.com and one of the team will get in touch. I’ll be there for most of the day, so if you have anything you’d like signed etc. feel free to bring it along.
Thanks in advance for your help.
I don’t have a lot of detail to share with you yet, but I can announce that the AUTUMN movie will finally be released on DVD in North America on 6th April 2010. Not long to wait! I’ll post again as soon as I have more information.
Here’s some news that I know a lot of you have been waiting for.
The AUTUMN movie will be released on DVD in the UK on 10th May 2010, and you can pre-order it now from all the usual places…
And before anyone asks: no, I don’t know when the US DVD will be out, but I do know it won’t be long before an announcement will be made (any day now, I hope).
Check back nearer the release date for some more AUTUMN related posts.
Like many of you, I’m a sucker for a good zombie movie, and bloody hell, this looks like it’s going to be a good zombie movie…
I recently spoke to the director of the film, Bing Bailey, who told me about a couple of publicity campaigns he has running at the moment. When the film’s Facebook fan page (click here) hits 10,000 fans, 10 randomly selected fans will receive limited edition posters signed by cast and crew members. Tell your Facebook friends and get them to sign up too. Ask them to leave a comment with your name because, when the page hits 100,000 fans, 5 props from the movie will be given to the people who’s names appear most. And who wouldn’t want to get a hold of a bloody meat cleaver, a slingshot, a bloody severed hand, a bloody straight jacket or some zombie eyes…?!
You may remember that I had a clear-out before Christmas and offered a stack of books for sale through www.infectedbooks.co.uk. The sale’s pretty much over now with just a handful of foreign language editions and a few copies of Straight to You left.
Everyone who bought books from the sale automatically got entered into a draw for a few special prizes. I’m pleased to announce that the winner was Alan Hickey from Lancashire, UK. Congratulations, Alan! The following goodies will be on their way to you shortly:
That’s a copy of the HATER audiobook on CD
Congratulations again, Alan! For those of you who missed out on the sale, don’t worry. I’m planning something similar for later in the year to coincide with the release of DOG BLOOD
…and what a great event it was too. Congratulations to the SFX team for making it happen. Here’s a photograph (with thanks to James Brown) of the Gollancz panel in full flow:
From right to left there you have: David Bradley (editor of SFX), Joe Abercrombie, Justina Robson, Richard Morgan, Chris Wooding, me and Tom Lloyd. And just out of shot on either side of us (you can see a foot from each one) were two huge dogs from Ghostbusters. Nice!
The AUTUMN movie is showing on the Zone Horror channel in the UK again next week. You can catch the film on Monday 15th February at 1:05am and again the following day at 9:00pm.
Not got Sky or Virgin? Did you know that you can watch a stack of UK TV channels via www.tvcatchup.com? And Zone Horror just so happens to be available…

More details about the US AUTUMN DVD
Still waiting for more details to be advised but, in the meantime, here’s a quick (and small) glimpse at the familiar-looking (but subtly different) US DVD cover art.
And here are a few early pre-order links:
