For The Love of Benji's Parasite

Minutes ago (or years ago, if you're behind on your blog reading) I turned in a brand-new novelette. I'm not going to blab much about it now, except to say that, yes, it's another pitch-black comedy, and it's a publisher I haven't worked with before. More news later.

And this past Saturday I turned in Benjamin's Parasite, my next horror/comedy novel for Delirium Books. It won't be published anytime soon, and Delirium Books no longer has those lengthy pre-order periods (as with The Sinister Mr. Corpse and Gleefully Macabre Tales, where the books went up for pre-order six months before publication) so you probably won't hear much about it for a while. But the idea was to combine ghastly "body horror" with a goofy chase comedy...and, hey, that's exactly how the book ended up!

I'm pretty sure it's my most twisted and over-the-top novel thus far. The mighty Tod Clark, who I believe has read every one of my books, helped me with the proofreading and said "Benjamin's Parasite kicked major ass! I really think it is the best book you have written to date."

Now I have to get caught up on other people's books that I promised to read...
