Blog post
Well, this is it. We've reached the end of the line. The final day of the October Frights Blog Hop. Congratulations for surviving!
In honor of Halloween, my post today is an excerpt from my Halloween-themed novel, CARNIVAL OF FEAR, which is all about a group of people trapped inside a demonic carnival on Halloween night, and they have to survive a bevy of monsters, demons, and serial killers if they want to see the sun rise.
As alw -

So, we've reached Day 5, the penultimate post for the 5-day horror blog hop. Have you had nightmares yet? I hope so!
Today I want to talk about something different - scary but true stories.
I grew up (and live) in the haunted Hudson Valley region of New York, which is rife with all sorts of spooky legends - ghosts, UFOs, cryptids, haunted houses, demons, and more. I thought I'd give you a quick look at some of the stories I grew up with.

Welcome to Day 3 of the October Frights Blog Hop! Today I've got something different for you. Instead of fiction, this is a little peek inside my mind, as I reminisce about what Halloween meant in my youth.
Before we get into that, though, just a reminder that you should check out A. F. Stewart's blog page, http://afstewartblog.blogspot.com, for a complete list of all the bloggers participating in the blog hop, and visit htt -

Blog post
So, this year I’m part of a group of writers participating in the October Frights Blog Hop, a series of blogs with a focus on Halloween and all things scary. There are 17 of us doing this (list below) and it’s being coordinated by A.F. Stewart (http://afstewartblog.blogspot.com, where you can find all the links to all the blogs!).
The blog hop runs from Oct. 10 through Oct. 15, and there’s also a -

Today we have one of my good friends stopping by to take over blogging duties! Catherine Cavendish has written some amazing novels and novellas, and her latest, The Malan Witch, is no exception. She's a queen of the ghostly and trove of information about the supernatural.
The Samlesbury Witches
My new novella – The Malan Witch – features two of the most evil witches you could ever (not) wish to encounter. They were burned for heresy an -
Blog postGet ready for one of the best anthologies you've read in a long time.
Midnight in the Graveyard is a collection of ghostly stories that will keep you awake at night long after you finish the last story. This collection of 25 tales from some of today’s best-selling authors and brightest rising stars is just what the undertaker ordered for the Halloween season. From classics by Thomas Monteleone (“The Ring of Truth”) and Robert McCammon (“Haunted World”) to new frightmares by Catherin -
Blog postCaptain Marvel Review (no spoilers that haven't been seen in trailers):
Rating: Captain Marvel gets 5 out of 5 Power Blasters!
Quite simply, Captain Marvel is Marvel-ous. Andrea and walked out of the theater and the first 2 things we said were "I can't believe people have been giving this movie average reviews." and "This was better than Wonder Woman."
Now, for the details.
This is non-stop action from beginning to end. -
Blog postRussell James has a new novel out, The Playing Card Killer, and it's deadly fun!
I've had the opportunity to read it, and it's filled with twists, turns, and action right to the end.
I recommend it highly, enough so that I'm letting Russell take over today's blog so he can talk about the book and his reasons for setting it in Tampa.
Ruining a Nice City
I love Tampa. You’d never know it by my novel.
I’ve been on relaxing evening dinner cruises in the bay, wal -
Blog postToday's guest post comes to us from Sèphera Girón, who, in addition to being a horror writer, has also written non-fiction in a variety of areas, done several erotica and paranormal erotica works, is a hororscope columnist and tarot reader, and a Reiki specialist. Seph was one of the first people I ever met when I attended my very first horror convention too many moons ago to count, and we've remained friends ever since. I'm happy to have her here today talking about Wo

Blog postVAMPIRES: LOVE & VIOLENCENancy Kilpatrick
Today's blog features a special guest appearance by acclaimed author and editor, Nancy Kilpatrick, who's written more than 20 novels in the horror, supernatural, and paranormal genres, edited 15 anthologies, and been recognized by Fangoria as "Canada's answer to Anne Rice." She's best known for her vampire novels and short stories, including her latest, Savagery of the Rebel King, which comes out this month. I've been a fa -
Blog postSo, I recently finished reading the holiday-themed horror anthology Hark! The Herald Angels Scream, edited by Christopher Golden and published through Blumhouse Books.
As you can probably deduce, the antho's theme is holiday-oriented stories. Some involve Christmas, some Yule, and some just the general winter season of December. All of them have a dark core, and the stories range from outright horror scares to subtle suspense, with more than a few falling in the 'weird fiction' cate -
Blog postBy now you should all be familiar with my friend, author Catherine Cavendish. She's been a frequent guest blogger here and is a font of knowledge when it comes to the arcane, especially historical ghosts, witches, and other delightfully dark topics. She's got a new book coming out, Damned by the Ancients, the third novel in her Nemesis of the Gods trilogy, and she's stopping by to provide some delightfully creepy facts about a morbid museum in Vienna, which ties in nicely with the happenings in

Blog postDemons - we all love 'em! And with summer currently baking us to a crisp, what better time to think about those crazy denizens of Hell? So, with that in mind, author Catherine Cavendish is popping in to talk about demons, including that sexy goddess of destruction herself, Lilith.
As any writer of horror stories knows, nothing beats a good demon. And there are plenty to choose from, drawn from every religious tradition known to mankind. Of course, picking your demon carries with it a respo -
Blog postDo you love a good ghost story? Well, here's Catherine Cavendish, whose latest novel Waking the Ancients deals with ghosts, black magic, and a haunted villa, to give us some background to the story.
I have set a large part of Waking the Ancients in Vienna, Austria where many ghosts and restless spirits walk among the verdant parks and lavish palaces. But Austrian ghosts do not confine themselves too their nation’s imperial capital. They can be found in towns, cities, villages and the depth -
Blog postRainy Season is a dark, tense supernatural thriller that succeeds because of the emphasis on the tension rather than on the supernatural.
Rainy Season
Based on Stephen King’s short story of the same name, the plot is deceptively simple: a young couple has come to the town of Willow, Maine for some alone time at a cabin. But when they stop to buy supplies in town, they are warned by a pair of elderly locals to get as way as fast as possible. You see, Willow has a secret -
Blog postCatherine Cavendish is the author of several novels and novellas, including The Devil's Serenade, Dark Avenging Angel, Saving Grace Devine, and The Pendle Curse. Today she's here to talk about some rather unsettling imaginary friends.
When you were growing up, did you have an imaginary friend? Did they seem real to you? Maybe sort-of-real. You could talk to them, imagine their responses, play with them - but you probably kept the ‘relationship’ within certain boundaries, howeve -
Blog postWell, it's the end of the year and for genre writers this means frantic scurrying to read and nominate all those books and stories you never had the chance read all year long. And for someone like myself who writes in multiple genres, and is a member of multiple writer organizations, it means a lot of eye strain!
With that in mind (and because a few people have nudged me to get my ass in gear), I am also posting that I have a couple of works eligible for awards, in the horror and sc -
Blog postIt's getting close to Halloween (really, only 6 weeks!) so I thought I'd post my all-time Top 15 horror movies, in no particular order:
1. Phantasm. The first time you see the silver balls, or the Tall Man? Has there ever been a person more perfect for a role than Angus Scrimm? I was 17 when this came out and there were scenes in it that actually made me jump.
2. The Shining. A lot of people, including Stephen King himself, don’t like this movie. Personally, I think it’s great, desp -
Blog postMost people wouldn't think to discuss writing by comparing it to a Monty Python sketch. But today's guest blogger, Brian W. Matthews, not only does just that, he does it in a way that mirrors what he achieves in his latest book, The Conveyance: by using the idea of taking something ordinary and turning it upside down in order to surprise the reader.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you ever seen the Monty Python -

Blog postSo, a little more than a week ago I decided to take the plunge and enter a book into the Kindle Scout program. For those who don't know, this is part of Amazon's publishing arm, where you submit a completed book, along with a professional cover, synopsis, and some other info, and then Kindle readers get to view an excerpt and vote on whether or not they'd be interested in reading the book.
Each month, a few books are chosen by the Amazon editors and the writer gets a publishing cont -
Blog postKnow a Nominee – Thoughts on Writing and The Cure
An Interview with JG Faherty
A few weeks ago, the HWA interviewed all Stoker nominees regarding their works. Here is the one done about me.
HWA - Please describe the genesis for the idea that eventually became the work(s) for which you’ve been nominated. What attracted you most to the project? If nominated in multiple categories, please touch briefly on each.
JGF - The idea for The Cure came to me when my dog got sick and -
Blog postWell, it’s been a week now since the first StokerCon, and I’m finally caught up with work enough to get my own thoughts and reminiscences down for posterity.
I have to begin by saying that this was one of the best—if not THE best—horror conventions I’ve been to. Kudos to the con team—Lisa Morton, John Palisano, Rena Mason, Brad Hodson, Kate Jonez, Erinn Kemper, and all the volunteers—for making it so special.
My adventure in Sin City began when I arrived on Wed. evening and found so
