VIRUS ALERT
Yep, some moron with no life and a pathetic excuse for lineage is trying
to be an "asshole to the world". There is a new real virus
threat this happy Holiday season and it comes in the form of an e-mail
that opens in (of course) Outlook (yet another reason why I'll never use that program). For full information
please follow the link to Symantec, makers of Norton Anti-Virus. Those
of you with anti-virus programs already installed take note: This virus
program attempts to erase your anti-virus software from your computer.
Go to Symantec.
Thanks to FeoFan David A. DeFalco "for the "heads-up".

BLOOD NOG SOUNDS GOOD, DOESN'T IT?
Horror never takes a holiday. Can't. People always have fears, and since
this is the darkest time of the year, we can celebrate that, can't we?
Feed on it! Oh, wait. Yes, peace and gifts. Okay, so here's who's spreading
peace and here's where you can pick up some signed gifts!

DREGS OF SOCIETY HITS THE STREETS
Michael Laimo's new collection, DREGS OF SOCIETY is now available. Sean
Wallace, senior editor at Prime Books says that all preorders have been
shipped. Sean says "Thanks to all of you who preordered...$100
of my royalties will be donated to the New York Fireman's Fund. There
are plenty of copies still available, but orders have been coming in
with the book hot off the presses.
For the many people who have inquired about the original novellette, "The Smart
Society", which leads off the collection, the 11,000 word tale is original
to the book, and Michal has posted an excerpt online for all those who'd
like to give it a read for themselves: laimo.com. |
