I always like to mention new issues of SCREAM magazine when they’re released, because I think it’s a genuinely great publication – a mag for real fans of the horror genre. In this issue, as well as the usual reviews and interviews, there’s an excellent article on the history of the zombie from the Voodoo [...]
Got a few things to quickly tell you about today, and I thought adding them all to one blog post would be the best way to do it: THE GOODREADS ZOMBIE GROUP If you’re a Goodreads user and a zombie fan, why not join The Zombie Group? For one week from 24th October, Jonathan Maberry, [...]
I’ve posted about this brilliant initiative before (click here). Those UK readers of a certain age will no doubt remember the classic horror double-bills which used to be shown late at night on BBC TV. Back in the day they were the only way for us horror fans to get our fix! The team behind [...]
If you haven’t been following the blogs Jonathan Maberry and I have been posting over at Babel Clash – the Borders Sci-fi blog – then please head on over and check them out. It’s been a lot of fun, and we’ve covered quite a lot: So You Want to be a Writer? / So You [...]
I was laid up most of last week, so I didn’t get to see much of St Patrick’s Day. I hope all my Irish friends and readers had a great day, and I also hope they’ll respectfully avoid mentioning yesterday’s rugby match. You might remember a short while back I did a food-based interview with [...]
In no way am I an avid gamer – I love my Xbox, but a). playing on it is a luxury I only allow myself at the end of the day when all my work is done (i.e. not often), and b). I refuse to pay £40 – £50 for a brand new release so [...]
The official AUTUMN website is now open for business. As well as information about the five AUTUMN novels, by the end of 2011, the site will also be home to more than 100,000 words of free zombie fiction. The first batch of stories are now live, with more to follow at regular intervals from early [...]
If it seems as if I’m plugging SCREAM every issue, that’s because I am! It’s a great magazine, and worthy of the support. If you’re after flashy graphics, bog-standard news and reviews, and endless glossy pages full of photographs of vapid celebrities, then you’re probably better off looking elsewhere. But if you’re a real fan [...]
It’s always disappointing to hear of any bookstore closing, but this is particularly sad. Those of you in the UK will probably know that the Waterstone’s chain is struggling with reducing sales and a debt issue, and that it’s closing 60 stores – roughly 10% of its total UK high street presence. I’ve just heard [...]
Click here to join the new Facebook group – MOODY’S SURVIVORS – SPREAD THE INFECTION – which has become a hive of zombie- and book-related activity over the last couple of weeks. The admins have just posted the results of a question and answer session I did with group members, so please head over and [...]
