I should mention that Necrotic Tissue's "Best-Of" anthology has hit the shelves, virtual and otherwise. This collection contains the choicest skim of the scum that rose to the top over at the beloved (and now, sadly, defunct) independent horror magazine, Necrotic Tissue. I say that with the utmost affection, by the way. Between these covers, you'll find shark-fu, sex dungeons, zombies, unicorns, and all other manner of nastiness.
If you're into things that are awesome, I highly suggest checking it out.
You know what? Since I have a few extra copies, I'm kind of bored today, and it is the Halloween season, I'm going to run a contest. The person who leaves the best Halloween haiku in the comments section under this post wins a signed copy of the anthology. Not that I'm particularly cool or that my signature is worth a damn, but it might be someday. You just never know.
I guess now I find out if I actually have any readers here at ye olde blog. A reminder about haiku poetry: Three lines--5, 7, 5 syllables. For example:
October night air
Candy rustles in the bag
Ghosts and goblins scream
Contest closes Oct. 31.
King's rabid dog bites

Who passes it on.
Jack-O-Lantern screams

Tricksters must beware.
Lots of blog hits, but only two brave souls stepped up. I'll put one in the mail for each of you. Kenyon--if you message me with your address, I'll get your book sent off right away. Spencer--I still remember your address. Thanks, guys!
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a poet, but happy late Halloween, Doug. And congratulations to the winners.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bobbie--hope yours was pleasantly spooky as well!
