Visit the ultracool This is Horror and check out Shane Douglas Keene's amazing review of . . . 

I CAN TASTE THE BLOOD (pre-order now--available August 23 Amazon)

An excerpt from the review:

“
I Can Taste the Blood is a tour de force for Grey Matter Press and for the five outstanding dark fiction authors gathered here.”


Those Five Authors are:
Josh Malerman
Joe Schwartz
J. Daniel Stone
John F.D. Taff
Erik (ME) Johnson


Keene rightly (IMO--International Magic Officer) sees everybody's contributions as great reads. As if that's not good enough, Mr. Keene has essentially made my early 40's by referring to me as a "master of weird fiction" who is "at top performance" in my novella.

If only I could tell my geeky 10-year old self that one day, don't worry, girls will like you, you'll have friends, H.P. Lovecraft will become well-known and zombies will eventually get popular, you'll play CBGB before it closes, and don't give up writing because an esteemed reviewer will say you are a master of weird fiction. If only! But wait, why not? In fact, smell you later, that's what I'm going to do right now!


Impossible, you say! Ha! Then you don't know how how WEIRD FICTION works . . .
