Interview with Joseph Mulak – Masters of Horror: The Anthology

Interview with Joseph Mulak – author of Wounds His awesome story can be found in the anthology: Masters of Horror E-version (many formats) Print Where did you come up with your anthology idea? I’m not really sure. I initially had come up with an idea for a story intended for an anthology called APPALACHIAN HOLIDAY HAUNTINGS. Mainly, the story had to set around Christmas and be in the Appalachians. In an attempt to be different from everyone else who submitted stories, I set mine in Canada. I figured everyone else would set their stories in the Appalachian states. It seems many people don’t realize the Appalachians also run through Canada. Specifically, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. I remembered a small little town in Nova Scotia called Ingonish that I visited as … Read entire article »

Interview with Angel McCoy – Masters of Horror: The Anthology

Interview with Angel McCoy. Her awesome story can be found in the anthology: Masters of Horror E-version (many formats) Print Where did you come up with your anthology idea? My story “The Barnes Family Reunion” started with an afternoon mind-stroll about the impact of certain French philosophers on young minds. Having studied French Literature in college, this is the kind of daydream that plays across my mind from time to time. At about the same time, I came across a picture of a house I lived in as a child. Many of the environmental elements of the story come from my own youth—like the apple tree and the 4-H barn at the local fair. How long did it take for you to put together your story? I worked and re-worked this story over the course of several … Read entire article »

Masters of Horror reviews

Masters of Horror reviews

so far… Review one from Sonar 4 Publications, Shells Walter When one thinks of horror, there are so many extremes that can be done in writing. The Masters of Horror: The Anthology is no different.

Authors such as Carole Gill with her story ‘ Truth Hurts’ , William Cook with ‘Devil Inside’ and several more … Read entire article »

God Denied

A flash story for you. Enjoy. 357 words. Feel free to link to this story if you like it, but please do not copy it. God Denied (c) Lee Pletzers 2006 His knees hurt but he refused to rise. The wooden pallet he knelt on was rough wood and a few frayed splinters had punctured his skin, pressing deeply into the flesh. There was wetness around and on his knees. He knew it was blood, but he needed to pray, and suffering was a part of it. He was God’s servant and on bended knee, he would serve. High above him, in his private study, hung a large cross with the effigy of Christ nailed to it. Gerald gazed into those wondrous, all-knowing sad blue eyes for hours, seeking answers to his questions. His life changed … Read entire article »

The Last Church Ch1 2/2

Part two of chapter one for your enjoyment. ‘Receive,’ she said. Ami’s face appeared. She was smiling. Her black hair curled around her shoulders, and her dark eyes twinkled with excitement. It was a full body shot showing her wearing black tights and a white business-like shirt on top of another tee shirt. The business shirt was opened to the third button. ‘Dressed for the occasion, huh doll?’ ‘I feel comfortable in these clothes. You of all people should know. Rachael, are you going like that –- in your birthday suit?’ Ami laughed, old expressions were a favourite game the two of them played. Often the team members had no idea what they were talking about, and the two girls liked the mystery of it. They liked to be looked at, especially when those … Read entire article »

Facebook and Myspace

I just removed all friends from Facebook and left only family there. I have never liked Facebook and I dislike Myspace as well. What’s with all the game apps people are getting right into. Everything I visit my profile there are a heap of applications demanding I join them. I also find the friendships are not really friendships anyway and most people want you to buy their books/music/stuff. Most never reply to messages sent to them. So, I figured, why bother? At least Masters of Horror is not like that. This is a community that is strong and bonds can be forged. I like it there more than any other networks. And we all simply like the same stuff: horror. … Read entire article »

Moved

Yes, I moved from Hataitai to the Hutt last Sunday, hence the silence on Twitter and this blog. As I am back online, I feel life returning to normal. It was a hell move. So much stuff and my buggered hip decided to play up big time, must be all the trips I did up and down the steps carrying heavy-as boxes. On Sunday morning, my wife fell ill and ended up in hospital, she was … Read entire article »
