So crack your face with a smile. From time to time we also get pointy emails regarding our links to extremist sites. But since these folks get interviewed on the major news networks and Comedy Central's "The Daily Show", why can't we mention them too?

Just shut up and enjoy. Or don't.

THEY ARE KILLING SHAUN OF THE DEAD
I watched EXORCIST IV over the weekend and got to see the U.S. trailer for SHAUN OF THE DEAD. The audience was silent throughout the trailer and not in a good way. The trailer, released by Universal Pictures SOOOO SUCKED! Punch lines without context delivered with no set-up and long shots of some of the funniest moments that, without knowing a fast "why?" of what's going on, look stupid and insipid.

SHAUN OF THE DEAD is both funny and smart in a way that very few movies are. Now I'm not one of those burdened with the adolescent sneer of "Anything out of Hollywood is crap!" because that's just absurd. But I will say that whoever made and approved of this trailer hasn't got a clue on what they have or how to promote it. Damn shame! If you want to see a fun, rocking trailer on SHAUN OF THE DEAD, check out the following link.
ShaunoftheDead,
turn right and click on the TV. Watch the original trailer first. The new trailer isn't near as good but its not as bad as the theatrical trailer I saw over the weekend.

MORBID AWARDS
MORBID CURIOSITY Magazine, an annual publication, is unlike any other horror magazine because the stories inside are true experiences that happened directly to the authors who wrote them. Good thing MC is only an annual publication. Once a year reading erodes your jaded thick skin and restores your human empathy. More than that and you'd probably want to kill yourself. The mag is not for the faint-hearted, but the San Francisco Bay Guardian just voted it Best Nightmare-Inducing Local Magazine.

Upcoming event:

Morbid Curiosity in the Fog
On Monday, August 23, 8:30 p.m., contributors to Morbid Curiosity magazine read their favorite tales:
Gravity Goldberg stars in porn
Allegra Lundyworf hallucinates on legal over-the-counter drugs
Claudius Reich survives a terrorist bombing
Jill Tracy begins her morbid career in music
Geoff Walker is out of prison and ready to testify
and newcomer Shauna Rogan joins us
MCed by editor Loren Rhoads.

All tales guaranteed to be true.

The Canvas Cafe is located at
1200 9th Avenue at Lincoln in San
Francisco's Sunset District.
San Francisco, California, USA

Ongoing exhibit:

Morbid Curiosity magazine is being featured in the Art of Zines exhibit currently on display at the San Jose Museum of Art until October 31, 2004. Zines from across the country are available for reading at comfy tables. More info is online at sjma.com.

HORRORFIND DRAMATIC READING ATTACK!
You may remember an earlier news story about Cullen Bunn and Matthew Warner doing a joint dramatic reading at this year's HORRORFIND IV in Baltimore, Maryland. It seems Matt got a little carried away with his reading, at one point screaminig at the top of his lungs. Which terrified outside passerby into thinking that two Horror writers were fighting, which, in turn got security running to the room, clubs at the ready.

No one was arrested but the questions remain. If that's what happened at the dramatic reading, what went on at the dramatic signing?

THE REAL SCARY CANUK
Edo van Belkom's mass-market horror novel SCREAM QUEEN has been optioned for film by producer/director Jamie Schutz and his company Real Scary Films.

SCREAM QUEEN is a novel about a reality television show where six contestants agree to spend a night in a haunted house outfitted with countless cameras and fear-inducing special effects. The winning scream queen - voted on by a television audiences - will win $50,000 and the starring role in the next Gowan Brothers horror feature. But, the house they're in is actually haunted, and when things start to go horribly wrong, who can tell what's real and what's just so much movie magic?

As a producer and director, Schutz has the right pedigree to translate SCREAM QUEEN onto the screen. He was a co-producer of the 2003 reality movie, THE REAL CANCUN, and has worked as an assistant director on approximately 10 feature films throughout the US. He has served as an assistant director on over 20 music videos and as co-ordinating director on several reality shows. Schutz was an assistant director on "Eco-Challenge: Borneo" for USA Networks before moving on to become supervising producer on the first two seasons of "Survivor" for CBS and "Lost in the USA" for WB.

Edo van Belkom is the Bram Stoker and Aurora Award-winning author of more than 20 books and 200 stories who noted horror journalist Stanley Wiater has called "A one man factory of fear." His books include the novels TEETH, MARTYRS and BLOOD ROAD, the collections DEATH DRIVES A SEMI and SIX-INCH SPIKES, and the how-to manual WRITING HORROR. Edo also pens the serial story "Mark Dalton: Owner/Operator" which has been published monthly in the industry trade magazine TRUCK NEWS since June 1999, as well as a new monthly column on writing for the acclaimed horror publication HELLNOTES.

Idea sent in from Harry Shannon
HORROR FOR THE HEROES!
Okay, so yer a soldier fighting overseas and you got shot or blown-up or what-have-you, and you've been re-cooping in a damn VA Hospital of all things (I'm a vet, and I wouldn't wish one of those places on a dog!). If yer lucky, you lay in your hospital bed watching soft porn channels like Playboy and MTV. But watching MTV telling you how cool they are after each-and-every freaking music video gets old after a few hours, right?

So there you are: can't really leave your hospital bed and shuffle off to the nearest bookstore. How cool would it be if folks from the home team sent you lots of books to choose from?

You don't have to send just your old Horror books, either! You can send Thrillers! Mysteries! Suspense!

But send something, dammit!

From Harry Shannon DO IT FOR CHARLIE As you may already know, Garrett Peck and Keith Gouvea got together to produce SMALL BITES, an anthology of short horror fiction with stories 500 words or less. 90% of the profits are going to the Charles Grant Fresh Air Fund, to help with medical expenses. The contributors are donating any royalties.

WRITERS AT THE HORRORFIND IV
FeoNote: About two weeks ago, my wife and I were tooling down the Highway, at the legal speed limit, when our left rear tire blew out. We're okay but the cost of getting a new tire and alloy wheel chewed up the money put aside for attending this year's Horrorfind Convention in Baltimore, MD.
Here are just a few people who will show up:
Horror writers Mathew Warner (THE ORGAN DONOR) and Cullen Bunn will perform a Dramatic reading and booksigning in Salon F of the Hunt Valley Marriott in Hunt Valley, MD (near Baltimore). This should be pretty interesting folks. I've seen dramatic readings before, but never a dramatic booksigning. It takes place this Friday at 5:30 p.m. as part of Horrorfind Weekend IV. Convention guests include George Romero, Ken Foree, and the cast of the classic zombie movie DAWN OF THE DEAD with a special rare appearance by Gaylen Ross.

Matt will also be signing books 3 p.m. Saturday with the Mid-Atlantic Horror Professionals in the dealer's room. But without the drama.

Harlan Ellison was recently characterized by The New York Times Book Review as having "the spellbinding quality of a great nonstop talker, with a cultural warehouse for a mind." The Los Angeles Times suggested, "It's long past time for Harlan Ellison to be awarded the title: 20th century Lewis Carroll." And the Washington Post Book World said simply, "One of the great living American short story writers."

He has written or edited 75 books; more than 1700 stories, essays, articles, and newspaper columns; two dozen teleplays, for which he received the Writers Guild of America most outstanding teleplay award
for solo work an unprecedented four times; and a dozen movies. He won the Mystery Writers of America Edgar Allan Poe award twice, the Horror Writers Association Bram Stoker award six times (including The
Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996), the Nebula three times, the Hugo 2 times, and received the Silver Pen for Journalism from P.E.N. Not to mention The World Fantasy Award, the British Fantasy Award, the American Mystery Award, two Audie Awards, the Ray Bradbury Award, and a Grammy nomination for Spoken Word recordings.

The World Horror Convention, the premiere event for all things darkly imaginative, will be held April 7th-10th, 2005 in New York City at the Park Central Hotel. This year's Guests of Honor include legendary authors Harlan Ellison, Jack Ketchum and Joe R. Lansdale among many others. For more information or to register please go to whc2005.org. Be there . . .

ZOMBIES WITH A HEALTHY GLOW!
CHERNOBYL, Ukraine
You might have thought that Chernobyl was off-limits, closed to the outside world behind a rigidly patrolled exclusion zone since reactor No. 4 went into catastrophic meltdown April 26, 1986, spewing radiation to the four winds.

Not a bit of it. The reactor's deadly core was buried in a concrete and steel sarcophagus, but the adjoining reactors carried on producing electricity until they were finally decommissioned a couple of years ago.

Now, for the first time, a Hollywood feature film -- the zombie movie RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD 4: Necropolis - has gained access to the infamous site.

NORWEGIAN CHURCH DRAWS BLACK METAL FANS
Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten is reporting that the restored stave church in Fantoft in Bergen, Norway has become a pilgrimage site for European black metal music fans who want to visit the site of the church-burning that Varg Vikernes (aka Count Grishnack) of the one-man band BURZUM was suspected of carrying out.

On the cover of the BURZUM EP album "Aske" (Ashes) one can see a 1992 picture of the charred ruins of Fantoft stave church. Varg Vikernes is serving a sentence for murder and church burnings.

Guide Arne Dyroy is not terribly thrilled about some of the new tourists to Fantoft.
"The church has received unwelcome attention because of the 1992 fire and we have had visitors wearing T-shirts with pictures of the burnt ruins. This is very disrespectful," Dyroy said.

Torgrim Oyre, music reviewer and assistant organizer of the annual Bergen metal festival Hole in the Sky, believes the pilgrimage is a phenomenon limited to "slightly nerdy" foreigners.

HARRY HAPPENING
Are you planning to be in Glendale, California this weekend? Horror writer and feoamante.com contributor, Harry Shannon, will be signing his first Mystery novel, MEMORIAL DAY, at 1:30 PM, this Sat. August 7th, at Mystery & Imagination Bookstore, 238 N. Brand Blvd. in Glendale.

From Michael A. Arnzen
PLAYING DEAD
August 4th Raw Dog Screaming Press has reached an agreement with award-winning author Michael A. Arnzen (FREAKCIDENTS) to release PLAY DEAD, his first horror novel in a decade. This gritty gambling tale set in Las Vegas is also a carefully constructed "novel-of-cards" with 52 chapters, one for each card in a deck, plus a joker chapter. The fast-paced story involves a group of homeless gamblers who are playing a deadly game of poker...with photographs of their murder victims. Originally conceived as Arnzen's Master's thesis at the University of Idaho, PLAY DEAD will be released exclusively in hardcover in the spring of 2005.

RDSP plans to sponsor a series of poker tournaments to promote the book at cities and conferences around the country, including the World Horror Convention and the Horror Writer's Association Convention.

In addition to a hardcover run, PLAY DEAD will also be released in a limited special edition as the second title in RDSP's highly collectable and unusual "Grim Grimoire Bloodline" series. These special editions feature handmade three dimensional covers sculpted from resin by horror prop artisans Z Malice & Co. The first book in the series, Jeffrey Thomas' novel Everybody Scream!, created a huge stir in the book collecting community when it was announced in June '04, selling out on pre-order in about 36 hours. The PLAY DEAD special edition will not be numbered or lettered. Instead each book will be matched with a custom-designed playing card signed by the author. The special edition will be
limited to two decks, each including a joker, for a total of 106 copies. It will also come with a pack of custom illustrated poker cards and a stand for displaying this very unique book.

Michael Arnzen's first novel, Grave Markings, won both the Bram Stoker Award and the International Horror Guild Award. He was awarded a second Stoker in 2004 for his unusual online newsletter The Goreletter. He is a pioneer in the horror poetry and flash fiction genres, with several poetry chapbooks to his name (many of which were also Stoker nominated) and a collection of one hundred
dark "micro fictions" entitled 100 Jolts: Shockingly Short Stories. For more information on this author, visit his popular website, gorelets.com. To find out more about Raw Dog Screaming Press visit www.rawdogscreaming.com.

FROM THE BACK OF THE BOOK:

Johnny had been to the top. Young and slick, he knew how to play the high roller, dress the part, and make his opponents sweat. He'd ridden into Vegas on a winning streak a mile wide. But Vegas took everything, even his lucky gold tooth.

You'd think he couldn't fall any lower than a homeless shelter full of the downtrodden. And he couldn't possibly have anything left to lose. But you'd be wrong.

Johnny soon discovers there's a game going on at the shelter. A game where before you play the cards you have to make them. A game where the payout is survival and folding means death. A game where the question becomes: are you playing the cards or are they playing you?

Using 52 chapters Arnzen's novel-of-cards is stacked with mischief and thrills. Like the most accomplished blackjack dealer Arnzen will keep you guessing at his hand. Are you ready to play?

SAVOR THE DIABLO
Are you going to be in Toronto, Canada this week? Then you'd better get there fast! Horror writer Brett Savory (CHIAROSCURO, FILTHY DEATH THE LEERING CLOWN, THE DISTANCE TRAVELED) has a band: The Diablo Red, playing on August 5th at Club Rockit in Toronto. The other act will be Electric Magma.

The Diablo Red is playing at a new place, and the promoter of the show is someone they're trying to get in good with (he promotes a lot of the bigger shows that come to Toronto, too). Brett says, "If any of you haven't come out to see us yet, for whatever reason, now would be an awesome time to show your support, as we'd like to impress this guy, so that he'll have us back for more shows, and so that maybe we'll get on some bigger shows in the near future. And even if you have been out to see us a time or two, this show is especially important, so please come support us!

Another reason to come out is that we won't be playing live again until mid-October, when we play at Club Rockit again at the book launch for THE LAST PENTACLE OF THE SUN: WRITINGS IN SUPPORT OF THE WEST MEMPHIS THREE (Arsenal Pulp Press).
