THE EAST IS RED #7 – All Screaming, All Dancing: Bollywood Horrors

EDITOR'S NOTE: Lisa Morton is one of the busiest people I know (check out her credits at the end of this, her final column for Fear Zone), and it's been an honor to run THE EAST IS RED, which she plans to continue on her website. I've learned a lot from every one of these pieces, and hope you have too. #Ah, we provincial Americans. We love to imagine that our Hollywood reigns supreme atop the mound of world cinema. But here's a wake-up call, kids: There's another country's film industry that...

'5-Minute Horror' Develops THE ACCOMPLICE as Feature

Robert C. Sabin as Zachary in SLIME CITY MASSACRE Robert Craig Sabin sent along word that he and his partner, B.K. Willerford, are developing THE ACCOMPLICE, one of three extremely slick and entertaining short films they produced for their 5-Minute Horror website, as a feature film. The official announcement follows. On a side note, 5-Minute Horror is also worth checking out for the shorts made by other filmmakers, test reel FX, and and a funny series featuring Sabin and a green screen.Cult...

“SCREAM SCENES” IPHONE/IPOD

Kitchy and fun vintage horror moments are being celebrated by Mill Creek Entertainment with the release of "Scream Scenes", a scary and spooky application for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Mill Creek, a recognized leader in value entertainment, has developed "Scream Scenes," featuring audio and video clips from 16 of the most frighteningly fantastic classic horror films which can be found in Mill Creek Entertainment's Horror Classics 50 Movie...

Last Rites

When I was hired to create and launch Fear Zone, I conceived it as a monthly magazine that would be doled out in daily doses. That being the case, you now "hold in your hands" what amounts to the Zone's final issue. Traffic for this site remains exceptionally high (and we've shown a 40% increase over the last 3 months) and I know editors at other sites who would kill for our numbers. But this is a commercial venture, and advertising revenue on the web has dried up during the recession, and...

Why Lovecraft?

Welcome back after the break for all of the Hallowe'en madness. I have one more guest blogger for you, Stewart Sternberg. When I set out the call for guest bloggers Stewart was the one person I did not know already. I looked over his blog and immediately decided I had to have an article from him. He asked me what I would like to see and based on his recent blog entires I said something on Lovecraft or making a mythos would be great. This is it and I won't hold you up any more.

My horrorku "weeping tree" has been published in the on-line version of Scifaikuest. Check it out! (THIS should take you right to the horrorku page. Just scroll down the page to find my contribution.)

"Weeping tree" combines the concept of a weeping willow with the potentially dangerous, and possibly even murderous, a… Continue

Why Monsters?

Talking about monsters seems to be appropriate this time of year. So, why do certain people (like me) write about monsters, read about monsters, draw monsters, watch monster movies, and just tend to find great fascination in all things monstrous? Is it creepy? Is it abnormal? Or is it just good, clean fun?

At times, I like to think of drawing monsters and writing about monsters as a bit of monster-slaying, creating diabolic beasts on paper to vanquish the demons in my past. And there are plenty… Continue

Spy strange, wondrous, fantastic, and frightful scenes. Meet lusty vampires, hungry werewolves, macabre musicians, and deadly dragons.

Greg Schwartz's Article About Horrorku

Greg Schwartz, a fellow poet and composer of haiku both light and dark, penned a very interesting article about horrorku entitled "Trick or Treat: Haiku and Its Place in Dark Poetry". I strongly suggest checking it out (and not just because I'm mentioned in there alongside the likes of Josh Gage, Aurelio Rico Lopez III, and Deborah Kolodji). All fans of dark poetry, and all dark poe… Continue

Find Your Author's Path

Have you ever heard of the Bizarro genre? Well today I'd like to introduce you to one of its finest writers, Jeremy C. Shipp. Jeremy has been published in the likes of Cemetery Dance, ChiZine, and The Bizarro Starter Kit (blue). He has also received great reviews including a memorable glowing recommendation from Piers Anthony. Besides his Bizzaro work--or nestled squarely within it--Jeremy also writes a mean horror story. Now Jeremy is going to tell us about how he writes and what he has learned… Continue

Hell Notes

International Issue of Apex Magazine Posted

This month Apex Magazine presents a special “international” issue of their online magazine.

Patient Zero – Book Review

This is the best zombie novel I’ve read to date. It even knocks Brian Keene’s classic take on the undead, The Rising, out of its top spot.

Postscripts To Get Bigger

After some lengthy consideration PS Publishing has decided on another change for the creature formerly known as Postscripts.

Storytellers Unplugged

AND NOW, OUR … LOSER!

The Chicago Tribune ran “The Great Chicago Ghost Story” contest for Halloween.

The rules: A Chicago site must be mentioned in the story. No more than 750 words.

I wrote a story. Entered.

Lost.

Here’s the loser.

THE GHOSTS OF CHICAGO, I SET THEM FREE

I see the ghosts of Chicago.

I set them free.

This is a mission statement.

Mine.

Q&A the Second

Q: How does it feel to walk away? You’ve just complete a ginormous four book cycle (well, you finished it a while ago). Is it refreshing to turn back to other things, or do you light-headed?

A: The answer, of course, is yes. I am tremendously grateful to be done with the Doctrine of Labyrinths, but [...]

When I Wish I Wasn’t a Writer

When people ask me what I do for a living, I am always at a bit of a loss as to how to answer.  It sounds a little too highfaluting to announce, “I am an author.”  You just can’t say that sentence without sounding like you graduated from Oxford, or that you [...]

Dream Versus Time, Life, the World, And All The Really Important Things

The holidays are coming.  We’re arriving at an intersection of worlds – the real and the imagined, outer and inner, concrete and symbolic, the past and the now.

What must be done, what needs to be done.

Kids dressed up as monsters expect candy offerings.  Blood-bonded friends and enemies gather for the ritual slaughter [...]

Long-Term Relationships With Your Characters

One of the things authors decide when they sit down to write is how long and drawn out their relationship will be with particular characters.  There are short stories, novellas, novels, and then – at the far end of the spectrum, you find trilogies and the continuing series.  Each of these involves a level of [...]
