A New Page and an Updated Page

I have added a new page for links to various websites related to weird fiction, fantasy, and weird fiction. See the list of pages on the right. If anyone has suggestions for additions to that page, please send them in. I will consider adding links to websites that are scholarly or encyclopedic in nature. I'm not interested in commercial websites, in sites that hype or advertise anything, or sites that contain objectionable content or just plain bad writing, art, or design.

I have also updated my page on my new story magazine. Just click on the link on the right.

Thanks for reading.

Tellers of Weird Tales in 2016

I'm in my fifth year of writing this blog and in 2016 I'm planning to expand into print. I hope to see works on Lee Brown Coye and Allison V. Harding soon in book form, both to be issued by other publishers. Something on Nictzin Dyalhis may follow. In addition, I would like to publish my own small book on Weird Tales. If all goes well, I'll have that ready in time for PulpFest next summer. Finally, after a couple of years and a lot of thought, I would like to go ahead with a story magazine. I'll start small, and I'll tie it to a comic book I write and draw with my friends Larry Blake, Gary Gibeaut, Matt Marshall, Tom Ahearn, Mike Tuz, and Kip Creel. Our comic book is called Five Star Comics. The story magazine I have in mind will be called Five Star Stories. In it I hope to combine genre fiction--science fiction, fantasy, horror, crime, and suspense--with stories of characters in the public domain. I would still like to read contributions from writers outside our circle, and I am especially looking for artists who can illustrate prose and perhaps contribute to our comic book as well. If you're interested, please contact me at:

Here's a to productive 2016 and a Happy New Year to all!

A New Magazine

Just a note to point out that I have added a new page to my blog. To see it, click on the page label "A New Magazine" (below "Home," "Weird Tales Artists," and "Weird Tales Authors") on the right or on this link.

A New Magazine?

I am considering publishing a magazine, a story magazine roughly in the format of the old pulp magazines, with stories, poems, and illustrations in every issue. I suppose that makes me an anachronism now that the future of words on paper looks so bleak. I would like to tell stories, though, and I would like to offer a real, physical, and enduring object to readers who desire something more than to look at a stream of electrons.

I'm interested in the genres of weird fiction, horror, fantasy, and science fiction. I would like to tell stories in the spirit of the pulp magazines and digests of the 1920s through the 1950s and '60s--not pastiches, not video games or comic books converted to prose, not ripoffs of Lovecraft, Howard, or Tolkein, not stories filled with purple prose or mounds of adjectives and adverbs, but well written, imaginative, and enjoyable fiction. That may also mark me as an anachronism.

I'm asking here for opinions, suggestions, ideas, and perhaps more than anything, encouragement, if anyone can offer honest encouragement. Please send me your questions and comments either below in the comments block or by email at:

Thanks. I look forward to hearing from you.
