A PUBLISHER'S APPENDIX
John Turi (SORROW), publisher of Medium
Rare Books (NIGHT

LAUGHING, APPALACHIAN GALAPAGOS, TERATOLOGIST) was in surgery
over the weekend having his appendix removed in the Anaheim Memorial Hospital.
Harry says the operation was tricky but went well, though John will have
to stay through the rest of the week. This bizarre little man has taken
a small press publishing company, dedicated it to Horror and Thriller
titles, and given it both credence and mass distribution. His business
model is sound, profitable, demonstrates that Horror fiction is viable,
and attracts investors. As such, he has distribution to all major outlets.
All that and he pays his authors pro rates and is timely with the money.
So write John
and let him know he's appreciated!

WE LOVE
HORROR AND WE LOVE HORROR MOVIES
We just hate the way that Hollywood makes them is all! Wasn't always thus,
but now they SUCK at making Horror movies! Everybody KNOWS
they suck, everybody knows WHY they suck, and every time you read
or hear about some Hollywood exec or publisher or editor saying "Horror
is dead!" you know they are really saying, "I'm a complete,
incompetent, impotent boob who delusionally blames my failure on 'market
forces': of which I know absolutely nothing."
Remember
I said that, because THE
MATRIX: RELOADED (an SF / Thriller / Horror
movie) has fell far short of box office expectations,
despite bringing in over $300 million to date (!) Now, you gotta
admit, that's pretty damn good for ANY movie
(so question the expectations, but not the
genre)! Samsung cell phone RELOADED collector tin boxes that sold
for $19.99 last week are selling for $9.99 this week. They'll be free
next week and if the third and final film does even worse, the honchos
involved will blame everyone but themselves and most likely blame "the
market".
But why take
my word for it when you can read this excellent article from Gina McIntire
at Reuters?

Right up to his passing in 2001, Samuel Z. Arkoff produced so many Horror

a start to many directors who would go on to better things.

ABOMINIBAL DR. PHIBES, DR. PHIBES RISES AGAIN,
THE AMITYVILLE HORROR, THE FINAL TERROR, and hundreds more. No kidding!

Robert's long list of Horror & Thriller movie credits is impressive!

brief role has become popular or something at the various film festivals
and, combined with the site here, makes me some kinda ultra underground
cult figure! (how deep underground am I? Oh I think

Book One
should be on sale in the next month or so, boasting eight tales of the
undead and a huge gallery of zombie pin-up art. The book features the
artwork of 36 artists from around the world, each illustrating their depiction
of the dead. "With over 120 pages of zombie mayhem," John says,
"This is a graphic novel for the ultimate zombie fan!" And since
it features an introduction by NIGHT
OF THE LIVING DEAD director George Romero, it's got the blessing of
the Zombie Godfather himself! I'm hoping John will cough up a review copy
so I can give you the real lowdown on it, but until then you can see sample
art and story previews at fleshrot.com.

HORRORFIND III APPROACHES
The 3rd Annual Horrorfind Weekend Convention is just around the corner.
Vendor's spots are completely sold out and sleeping rooms at the hotel are
going very very fast. This year's event looks to become the biggest ever.
As always we have top movie celebrities, authors, Halloween and haunt pros,
some paranormal guests, huge vendors room and lots of scary events to make
up one gigantic spooky convention. We like to think of it as "The Spookiest
Show on Earth"
Event schedules,
haunt seminars, author readings, costume contest rules and other info
is being finalized now and will be posted on the site by June 15th.

information, check out horrorfindweekend.com.
MYSTERY AND
THRILLER BIRTHDAYS
No June 2 Birthdays, but for June 1:
We start this list off with a writer whose work was so profound that many
a modern day Televangelist has been so befuddled as to quote from this writer's
works; believing it to be in their Bible! In fact, Dante's interpretation
of what the afterlife must look and feel like, not only contradicts the
christian bible, but is widely held (by western
Christians who never read their bible) as THE actual view
of what happens to a person after death. In essence, more western Christians
believe in Dante than they believe in their Bible (and
they probably never read Dante either!)! So happy birthday to
Dante Alighieri (THE DIVINE COMEDIES, INFERNO)
whose remains - what remains of them - are 738.
