Gleefully Macabre Tales

So I've delivered the final-until-the-editors-get-a-hold-of-it manuscript of my short story collection, GLEEFULLY MACABRE TALES, to Delirium Books.

I tend to write my sickest (and certainly goriest!) stuff when I'm doing short stories, so reading all of them back-to-back was definite cause for a moment of "Whoa! What the hell is wrong with me?" introspection. This is one messed-up book, kiddies.

I'll save the table of contents for later, just in case they change during the editing phase, but it's a combination of my most popular stuff (most notably the chapbooks), some obscure stories that nobody ever read, a couple of unpublished works, and perhaps a piece or two that you wouldn't expect me to include, such as the World Horror Convention 2006/2007 Gross-Out Contest entries. Gracious!

It's mostly "funny horror" stories, with a couple of serious pieces thrown in to mess with you, and some shameless silliness from my "Plot? Screw the plot! Bring on the jokes!" days. There are also Story Notes where I briefly babble about each of the individual tales.

More news over the coming weeks...
