Gleefully Macabre Tales & WHC Update

Gleefully Macabre Tales will be on its way to mailboxes across the world next week! So if you've been holding off on ordering the book until it was ready to ship, the time to order is......GONE!!! 'Cuz it's sold out.

However, there's always the chance that somebody will cancel their order ("Crap! I thought I'd ordered MONKEY LOVE by John Paul Allen!") so if you want to get on the waiting list, go here...

Next weekend is the World Horror Convention in Salt Lake City. I'm a Special Guest this year (I know, I know...WTF?) and here's my schedule:

THURSDAY, MARCH 27:

5:00 - 5:50 PM. Opening Ceremonies. I'm not sure exactly what I'm supposed to do at the opening ceremonies, except listen to the confused murmurs after I'm introduced. But I'll be there.

6:00 - 7:50 PM. Signing at Sam Weller's Bookstore. I'll be there with twelve other authors, and this will be your first opportunity to purchase one of my books and have me write something clever in it, like "How the hell did I get to be a Special Guest at WHC?"

FRIDAY, MARCH 28:

10:00 - 10:50 AM: PANEL: "When The Screaming Stops: The Non-Writing Part of a Horror Writer's Job." With Gene O'Neill, Stephen Wilson, and Gary Braunbeck.

7:00 - 7:50 PM: PANEL: "The Fine Art of the Gross-Out." I'll be moderating this dignified panel, which includes Rain Graves, Cullen Bunn, Weston Ochse, Bill Breedlove, and Wrath James White.

8:00 - 9:50 PM: Mass Autograph Signing. Virtually every author in attendance will be available to sign books for you.

10:30 PM - Midnight. The Gross-Out Contest. This will be my fourth year as a participant, and I don't want to spoil the surprise, but there'll be a surprise.

SATURDAY, MARCH 29:

2:00 - 2:50 PM: PANEL: "Make 'Em Laugh: Comic Relief in Horror Fiction." With Hank Schwaeble, Dan Wells, and Hal Bodner.

4:30 - 5:00 PM: Reading. Possibly a short story called "The Apocalypse Ain't So Bad."

7:30 - 10:30 PM: Bram Stoker Awards Banquet & Ceremony. I'll be the Master of Ceremonies, and the whole event will be available as a live webcast for those of you who can't be there. I'll send the link information closer to the event, because if I send it now you'll probably lose it.

SUNDAY, MARCH 30:

4:00 - 4:50 PM: Closing Ceremonies.
