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 [...]

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 book will be called Smoke and Mirrors and is expected [...]

So who else is coming to VisionCon in Springfield, MO, at the end of the month?

If you missed out on New Dark Voices when it was first released in hardcover, you can now preorder a trade paperback edition that will be printed in December for only $15. Check it out at The Horor Mall.

It turns out some of us may just be wired for horror.
