OCT. 29 RIDING
THE BULL Shane Ryan Staley is doing something very similar. With no ability to control the market (he is small press with his company, Delirium), with iffy returns from some bookstores, and poor respect for the small press (some deserved), Sean is quitting his secure day job and throwing himself whole heartedly into running DELIRIUM BOOKS. He will rise or crash entirely by his own abilities and how they can handle the tumultuous ride ahead of him. Good luck, Cowboy!
OCT. 27 HAPPY
HORROR BIRTHDAY TO- HAPPY HORROR BIRTHDAYS TO- Metal meister of JUDAS PRIEST Musician K. K. Downing (ROCKA-ROLLA, SCREAMING FOR VENGENCE, DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH and way more) who is 52. Horror writer and Horror literary agent Jane Letty, who is -ahem- 36. Being somehow connected with Ozzy Osbourne carries a lot of weight with me: and since I already wished a Happy Birthday to Ozzy's personal assistant, I'd be damned remiss not to wish a birthday to Daughter of Ozzy Kelly Osbourne. Happy 19th Birthday, party girl! Happy Birthday to a Comic book artiste extraordinaire! And if you think that's hype, then you damn sure haven't ever seen the work of master Horror comic artist Bernie Wrightson (SWAMP THING, CAPTAIN STERN, CREEPSHOW, CREEPSHOW 2 and tons, TONS more!) is 55.

Ochse Del Toro directed BLADE II and MIMIC, as well as the critically acclaimed THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE. Based on the comic books of Mike Mignola, the HELLBOY movie stars Ron Perlman as the demon action hero with Selma Blair and Rupert Evans. Bram Stoker Award winning novelist Yvonne Navarro has been asked to do the novelization for the movie. The author of thirteen published novels including AFTERAGE, MIRROR ME, FINAL IMPACT, as well as the SPECIES movie novelizations, ALIENS: Music of the Spears and several Buffy the Vampire Slayer novels, Yvonne says she's very excited about working on the project. The novelization will be available from Simon and Schuster in mass market paperback and will be a must collectible for Hellboy fans as well as fans of Yvonne Navarro, who now has five novels scheduled to be published in 2004. Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy, is extremely happy that Yvonne will be the writer for the novel adaptation. HELLBOY Plot Summary: In the final days of World War II, the Nazis attempt to use occult magic to aid their dying cause. The Allies raid the camp where the ceremony is taking place, but not before a demon - Hellboy - has already been conjured. Joining the Allied forces, Hellboy eventually grows to adulthood, serving the cause of good rather than evil and fighting against his own dark beginnings. THE RETURN OF WOODRING! According to the latest at Dark Horse Comics, the intriguingly bizarre Jim Woodring will release a new collection of his work October 15! The ONEIRIC DIARY. Anyone familiar with Jim Woodring's work on his own character's of Frank and Manhog knows what a beautiful nightmarish world Jim creates. He has also done work for the Dark Horse ALIEN series, but it is his own art and stories that have drawn to him a formless mass of fans. DarkHorse
Deluxe Journal: JIM WOODRING DREAM From Michael Laimo LAIMO GOES DEEP Just about four months away until the release of my second novel, DEEP IN THE DARKNESS. The paperback version will be available everywhere, from bookstores to drug stores to airports: wherever books are sold. As many of you know, the story behind this novel is based on the concept created for my 'Golden Eyes' trilogy, published in whole by Flesh & Blood Press. In actuality, the first tale (which started it all!) was published back in 1997 in the long-defunct Epitaph Magazine, then edited by Bram Stoker Award Winning Author, Tom Piccirilli. The issue with the story "Within The Darkness, Golden Eyes" has long since become a collector's item, and with the release of the novel, more folks are trying to hunt it down. I have only one copy! That's it
for now....more news soon regarding my novels SLEEPWALKER and THE DEMONOLOGIST.

Savory Answer: In 1999, there was "That's SOME Pig!" (Bereshith Books). Later that year came "Fucking Fear Factory" (Gothic.Net). Then in 2001, "Twelve Great Black Pigs, and One Red One" surfaced (Gothic.Net). And now, in 2003, Gothic.Net continues this disturbing porcine series with "The Pig and the Pendulum" by myself and David Niall Wilson. Six thousand words of new piggy madness, now live at the refurbished Gothic.net

According to the latest at Dark Horse Comics, the intriguingly bizarre Jim Woodring will release a new collection of his work October 15! The ONEIRIC DIARY. Continued at Fanboy. From BlackMetal.com & Omenlegion.com OMEN SINGER PASSES ON - J.D. Kimball, the former lead singer of Omen, passed away on October 3rd, 2003 after a 3-year battle with cancer. Omen guitarist, Kenny Powell, would like to share these words about his former bandmate: "J.D.
Kimball , Passed away on Oct, 03, 2003 after a 3 year battle with cancer.
I like many others did not know where J.D. had been or what he had been
doing the past few years, but had hoped for the best. I was informed by
his brother Bill Kimball, of his passing this morning and sincerely wished
that I would have known that J.D. was ill. I would like to have had a
chance to talk to him, I am not sure if he knew of the impact that he
had on the world of heavy metal or if he knew how many young musicians
that he influenced. I am extremely proud of the work that we did together,
I remember the excitement that we felt when were writing and recording
the first record, BattleCry, we thought we were going to rule the world.
I don't know if we ever ruled the world of metal, but J.D.sure had a big
impact on it. He will missed. by Thomas
