Hop Against Homophobia

I was hesitant to join the hop against homophobia, not because I was hesitant to lend whatever support I can to addressing bigotry, but I did not want to seem like I was cashing in on hatred to sell books.  I thought about talking about the gay characters in my book, but it seemed inappropriate.  I considered cute antidotes of confronting bigots in college, but this is not an exercise to support my ego.  

What I will share are two simple statistics that are revolting.  In LA 25-35% of homeless teens are LGBT.  The reason they are homeless is that they have been thrown out of their homes, and disowned by those whose job it was to protect them and care for them unconditionally.  Keep in mind this is an LA number, an area of the country seen as more tolerant.   

An estimate in NYC places the number between 25-40%.  Again this seen as a more progressive and tolerant area.  Again these kids are homeless because they have been rejected by their families.  Now imagine the level of tolerance in a place like North Carolina.

I have no closing words of comfort or some clever encompassing argument. Please click the image above for more.

American Psycho

The Book by Bret Easton Ellis is a remarkable character study and unflinching condemnation of self obsessed consumerism. 

The film is one of the sharpest satires and brutal comedies.

Free Book from Chuck Miller

"FREE BLACK CENTIPEDE NOVELLA:     "Gasp, Choke, Good Lord!" is a Black Centipede novella I did a couple years ago, a very early take on the character. This is not quite the Centipede of "Creeping Dawn" and subsequent works. I don't know when or if "Gasp" will ever see print; the Centipede stuff I'm doing for Pro Se now is going in chronological order, beginning in 1932, and this novella is set in 1952. If it ever gets published, it will require a massive overhaul, since there are continuity conflicts with what I'm doing now.

Be that as it may, I hope you will check it out and enjoy it. Fans of the old EC horror comics should get a kick out of it. What REALLY happened with Doctor Fredric Wertham, William M. Gaines, and the dread Comics Code Authority? The Centipede knows. And so can you. Downloadit as a pdf from Mediafire. Again, my sincere thanks to everyone who has helped make my first year as a pulp writer so enjoyable."

M.R. Interviews...Richard Kadrey

Please Welcome Richard Kadrey to Cutis Anserina

Where did the idea for James Stark/Sandman Slim come from?

A typical, boring writer place. After finishing a big project I was
looking for my next one. Going through some old notebooks I found the
phrases “Hitman from Hell” and “Sandman Slim.” The two seemed to go
together and I started developing a backstory.  How did he get to
Hell? How did he get out? How did he get that name?


Does the Sandman Slim series have a predetermined end point, or are
you taking it novel by novel?

I can’t say for sure. There’s a definite end to the six-book arc I’m
currently writing. I think there will be stories to tell beyond that
and not all are about Stark. I’d like to write about some of the other
characters. For instance, I know how Vidocq became immortal but I’ve
never had a chance to tell that story. It would be fun to get it down
on paper.



Are you finished with the character Spyder Lee from Butcher Bird? How
did the idea for this novel take shape?

I don’t have any plans for Spyder right now. Butcher Bird came about
because of a very simple idea. What if you gained a super power and
hated it so much you went on a quest through weird supernatural worlds
so you could find the magic to get rid of the power? It was
anti-quest. Like King Arthur looking for a way to put the sword back
in the stone and forget about it.


What was the collaborative process like, working with the Pander
Brothers on Accelerate?

Very interesting. It started with my writing a script, then Panders
sending me preliminary sketches of the scenes, and then either my
rewriting the script to fit within the images or them reworking the
images to work with the script. I’m happy to say that it went very
smoothly and I learned a lot about comics from working with them.

Your novels deal with a great deal of dark material. What is the first
book you remember genuinely being frightened by? Was your immediate
reaction to run out and find other similar tales, or stash it in your
closet and block it out?

Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart and The Cask of Amontillado are the earliest
stories I remember scaring me. The first novel was Shirley Jackson’s
The Haunting of Hill House. At a local drug store I found a couple of
volumes of pulpy horror stories called Tales of The Frightened and
those scared the hell of me when I was a kid. Worse, I had an LP
version of the first volume read by Boris Karloff. It was a major
source of nightmares. As a teenager I discovered Lovecraft and
although the writing style didn’t appeal to me, the scope of the
Cthulhu stories thrilled me.


What active genre authors are you still excited to be following?

Neil Gaiman and Holly Black are two obvious fantasy authors. In SF
there’s William Gibson and Charlie Stross. Clive Barker and Joe
Lansdale in horror. Ellen Datlow and Jeff Vandermeer’s anthologies are
also favorites.

Do you have anything new coming down the pipeline you would like to share?

Aside from the Sandman Slim books I’ve started on some stories, the
first in a long time. I have my first YA book coming out later this
year, though I don’t have a date for it yet. I’m also developing some
non-Sandman Slim books. The Sandman Slim movie is coming along. I’m
looking forward to seeing that as much as anyone.
