RALLY TO HELP ONE OF THEIR OWN
NEW YORK, MAY 13. The Horror Writers Association (HWA) is holding a benefit auction for legendary author and editor Charles L. Grant, who has been hospitalized indefinitely with severe cardio-pulmonary disease and emphysema. Mr. Grant, whose body of work spans five decades, faces a tremendous burden on his health and substantial health-related expenses. In response to this dire situation, the HWA called for contributions to a benefit auction for Mr. Grant. Although HWA is not a charitable organization and contributions could not be considered charitable donations, this didn't stop a flood of concerned writers, editors and publishers from contributing to this cause. Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Neil Gaiman, Peter Straub, Clive Barker and nearly fifty other accomplished authors have confirmed contributions to the event. Publishers such as Leisure Books, Earthling Publications and Night Shade Books have also contributed. "The response has been amazing," said Joe Nassise, president of the Horror Writers Association. "The absolute generosity of everyone involved has been truly overwhelming." This two-part fundraiser, being held in conjunction with the HWA's annual Bram Stoker Awards Banquet weekend, is the first of its kind for the organization. One component of the fundraiser is a high-profile auction to be held on eBay beginning May 23 and running until June 5, the evening of the awards. Bidders can find all auction items by searching the eBay User ID "bookwyrm55." The second component is a silent auction to be held on June 4-6 at the HWA annual meeting in New York City where the Bram Stoker Awards will be presented. THE HORROR WRITERS ASSOCIATION (HWA) is a worldwide organization of writers and publishing professionals dedicated to promoting dark literature and the interests of those who write it. HWA was formed in the late 1980's with the help of many of the field's greats, including Dean Koontz, Robert McCammon, and Joe Lansdale. Today, with over 1,000 members around the globe, it is the oldest and most respected professional organization devoted to the genre.

MAY 12 DARK HOSTS
THE MIDNIGHT MASS
You see, the undead have pretty much won. They've taken Europe, the Mid East, and most of Asia. They crossed the ocean and turned the US government. They've consolidated their hold on the East Coast and are honing their plans for the rest of the country. The survivors exist in fear and isolation, with no one to rally to. Until Father Joe Cahill decides to take back his old desecrated church and say mass again. Just once. Just to show the undead they can't have their way all the time. He has no idea what that one defiant act will set into motion. Dark

Well hey! That's feoamante.com to a "T"! They showcased their work at the San Diego ComicCon and Image snatched them up! Now they are making history) Image wanted us fresh on the stands for this weekend's "Free Comic Book Day" on Saturday (more on that later). Anyway, my apologies for not sending out a newsletter letting you all know that sooner, but in case you were looking for it on April 23rd (they got bumped to an April 30 release) and were concerned/bummed/pissed that it wasn't there, well, that's the deal, at least as well as I know it, and REX MUNDI #3 is waiting, breathlessly, for you to pick it up on Saturday (because I KNOW you're going in for the free books!).
