I Survived VisionCon

Or I could say Springfield, MO, survived VisionCon. The local HuHot staff almost got their heads kicked in by Brian Keene, Wrath James White and I, but that’s another story.
This year’s con was a bit bigger than last year’s, and as always the con staff and crowd was great to work with. I set up [...]

Unleashed on California

Ah, sunny California. Three horror writers visit and things go to hell the moment we leave. Not our fault, I swear. We did have a great time, though, and my only regret was not stuffing my Digital Rebel into my bag to get better pictures.
The tour officially kicked off Saturday at Dark Delicacies in Burbank. [...]

Travel Mode

I’m making the final preparations for this weekend’s signing trip, which will include turning the blog over to travel mode. Assuming I have time to take pics and fire off some Tweets from the road, they’ll be showing up here in daily digests. I suspect I’ll either be thrilled with the crowds at Dark Delicacies [...]

SF Chronicle: “He’s betting on werewolves”

The San Francisco Chronicle just published an article in their Books section leading up to my signing at Borderlands Books this Sunday at 3pm:
Written by Louis Peitzman, the full article is “Mike Oliveri: He’s betting on werewolves“.
Way, way cool.

Big Week for The Pack

There’s a lot going on this week for my new book, The Pack: Winter Kill.
First up, the first reviews have been rolling in to Amazon (both the paperback and the Kindle edition), and so far they’ve been very positive. The noir-horror hybrid seems to be a big hit, and people have been happy with the [...]

Year of the Wolf

Vampires and zombies have had their due. Welcome to the Year of the Wolf.
A little movie called The Wolfman is part of that feeling, and it doesn’t hurt that some of you watched a werewolf square off against some sparkling vampires in another little movie called New Moon, but this will be the year I [...]

The Pack Unleashed Tour — Special Guests!

Just announced! Both Brian Keene (The Rising, Urban Gothic) and J.F. Gonzalez (Survivor, Primitive) will be joining me on the California leg of my The Pack Unleashed Tour.
Déjà vu?
Well, not really. Jesus (far right) mainly joined us to hang out at this signing at Comix Connection, and Coop (seated) won’t be coming to Cali, but [...]

Listen in on Diabolical Radio Tonight

Tonight at 11pm Eastern I’ll be one of several guests on Diabolical Radio discussing author Richard Laymon. Their call-in number is (646) 652-4625 if you would like to join in or ask questions.
If you’ve never read Laymon before, I highly recommend you check out his book Savage. One of my favorite books in any genre, [...]
