It’s clear that everyone in the horror field, and many outside it, know that Joe Hill is Stephen King’s son. I’m not here to break that particular scoop, though I might just have another, albeit less interesting, one. At work the other day, I began daydreaming, which is not uncommon. I can’t remember my exact

Within the first few pages of Michael Louis Calvillo’s new book, I Will Rise, I knew I had something unique in my hands. I won’t waste your time trying to summarize the novel (besides, you can head over to Mr. Calvillo’s website and even get the first chapter free), but I will say it is

UPDATE: The online store is no longer available. Sorry for the inconvenience.     The Tie Dye Connection has just uploaded another large batch of brand new tie dye shirts. These were only just finished in the past few days. They also posted their list of incense scents (17 different kinds so far) which sell

UPDATE: The online store is no longer available. Sorry for the inconvenience.    My father and brother just launched a brand new tie dye internet store. I’d say it’s THE online tie dye store.

But most importantly, I took some time out to chill with a big bowl of chocolate covered popcorn and peanuts, and my pumpkin seeds, while watching my favorite

You can read my flash story, “Lost Little Girl,” for free at Every Day Fiction. EDIT: I just found out that one of my stories appears in today’s (Sunday October 28th) edition of the Pocono Record: the local paper. I had entered a Halloween Writing contest a couple weeks ago and never heard back. I

We’re almost there. And that means more Halloween goodies. Today I decided, for some reason, to make donuts. I wondered if doughnuts and Halloween had any connection, and it turns out, yes, they do! Halloween Doughnuts It’s an interesting article and recipe, though I used a different one for mine: Alton Brown’s Doughnuts That’s right.

For today’s Halloween offering, I have two web pages that are sure to help coordinate the 11 remaining days. The first page, The Pumpkin Nook, has more information about pumpkins than my closet has skeletons. Go to this page for instructions on how to puree your own pumpkin and use that puree to make pies,

In my never ending search for everything Halloween, I came across this page of Halloween radio stations.
