Empire 2
In Empire, the Grim Reaper walked a world that had been besieged by the undead for more than 100 years. He left his post as Death in order to hunt and kill zombies full-time, and the sequel picks up with him doing just that.
As winter approaches, Death, now known as Adam, crosses the American badlands in search of the girl he once… Continue

Alternate reality
I’m not a 13-year-old boy from Western Maine, but I pretended to be one on the internet. That sounds a lot worse than it really is. It wasn’t an undercover sting to flush out predators. It was part of an alternate reality game (ARG) run by Scribner to promote Under the [...]Thomas Sullivan: SEA LIONS IN COFFINS, GETTING LOST & WRITING WITHOUT WORDS
Pssst…me again. Thought I’d check in on you. See what kind of problems you got today. No problems? That’s a problem. You’re an adventurer, a thinker, a romantic, a thrillseeker — something in a Walter Mitty fantasy that needs an adrenaline feed. You need a problem. Well…to be precise, you need a problem and a [...]
But You’ve Never Been There!
I like to write about places I’ve never been to. It’s liberating, and it’s an experience that I recommend to other writers.
But wait a minute, you ask. Don’t you have to visit places you write about? Don’t you have to step on another country’s soil, smell the air, mingle with the inhabitants and interact with [...]
Researcher’s Hell
Now and then I sit back and contemplate the difference between myself and a few of the other writers I know. More often, I sit back and consider the differences between successful writers and those who haven’t yet reached published status. I need to clarify something here. When I say “published,” what I mean is [...]
Joyful Stress
Let me list for you some of my responsibilities.
I have a full-time job with a utility company, and while that job is staying, the location is moving… and me with it. Starting in a month, I can expect an additional sixty minutes added to my daily commute (thirty minutes each way.)
I am planning to be [...]

Thanks for adding me. Nice to meet you.

"The Picture in the House" is a gruesome little chiller that isn't as obtuse as some of his other work. Reminds me of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, myself!
If you're wanting to dive into the Mythos stuff, I'd recommend "Pickman's Model" and the good ol' "Call of Cthulhu" (both of which can be found at that DagonBytes site, along with the rest of his fiction).
My favorite Lovecraft story is "The Dreams in the Witch-House". If you're into sci-fi he wrote a few pretty good ones in that field, including "In the Walls of Eryx".

See you're a Lovecraft fan. Been trying to dive into his work (I'm a Poe boy) but I can't seem to find the handle. Now I know I'm a horrible reader to begin with but any suggestions on a couple of his stories that might grab me?
