I first met Roger Cowin earlier this year at a local book signing for several of us who have had stories published by James Ward Kirk Fiction.

HOLES FOR FACES BY Ramsey Campbell

I’ve made no secret of my love for Ramsey Campbell’s work. His are the first stories I read in any anthology in which he’s featured, and I’ve consumed more of his novels than any other writer.

FRITZ LEIBER’S FAFHRD AND THE GRAY MOUSER

We’re going to stray from horror this time in favor of some sword and sorcery tales by the great Fritz Leiber (1910-1992). He wrote in multiple genres including science fiction and horror (some of which were covered here: https://horrordelve.com/2014/05/17/fritz-leiber-horror-stories/), but for now we will look at a few of his Fafhrd (the Barbarian) and The […]

Good Bye, Lawrence.

Very saddened to learn that Lawrence Santoro passed away last night. I never met him in person but was able to interact with him when my short stories was accepted to be read on the Tales To Terrify podcast he hosted. He was so kind and friendly during all our interactions that I felt I’d […]
