Laird Barron RAVES in "Locus" for Cassilda!

In Laird Barron’s review column in the new issue of “Locus”, Cassilda’s Song gets a rave. ‘2015 was a good year for horror and weird fiction anthologies. Cassilda’s Song is an able demonstration of why. It’s also a pleasant, if macabre, signal that the field is flourishing.’ Damien Angelica Walters, Allyson Bird, Chesya Burke, Anya Martin, Maura McHugh, S.P. Miskowski, and Selena Chambers (‘Gorgeous, intricately layered, and extremely strange, this piece may be the blue ribbon exhibit in an exemplary batch.’), receive major shout outs! !!

‘…this is top shelf stuff.’

‘The table of contents is exceptional not for the fact that it’s composed entirely of women, but rather for the high level of quality.’

I’m OVERmoon to see THE CONTRIBUTORS receive this level of much-deserved praise!

THXXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Laird! !!

Cassilda has arrived!! !

NOW available for your Kindle. ebooks will be available from iBooks and DriveThru in the next few days. And the trade edition will be here very, very soon! !!

The black stars are up.
     Upon the shore of madness, the cloud waves break.
     The thunder of her song rises.
     Cassilda is an avalanche.
     From the breast of experience, from the shadows and tatters of the mind wounded, come the laughter and the tears now grasped by the fallen leaves of Trakl’s autumn. Cassilda’s complicated sisters, unwilling to be hidden away and boarded up, sound the thunder. Hot and colorful, in full view and shaded by the aroma of discord, they stand before you unmasked.

Cassilda's sisters sing!! !

Cassilda's sisters, some of the finest writers currently creating weird fiction, want to show you the Yellow Sign~ ~~

     Cassilda is an avalanche.
     From the breast of experience, from the shadows and tatters of the mind wounded, come the laughter and the tears now grasped by the fallen leaves of Trakl’s autumn. Cassilda’s complicated sisters, unwilling to be hidden away and boarded up, sound the thunder. Hot and colorful, in full view and shaded by the aroma of discord, they stand before you unmasked.

Not content to be seamstresses and cleaning ladies and set dressers, the contributors to Cassilda’s Song have claimed the canon and are now the lead actors; they have created the sets and stages and written the dialogue. They control the productions.

There are no pretenders here. The Daughters of the Yellow Sign, each a titan of unmasked fire in their own right, have parted the curtains. From Hali’s deeps and Carcosa’s gloomy balconies and Styx-black towers, come their lamentations and rage and the consequences of intrigues and follies born in Oblivion. Run into their embrace. Their carriages wait to take you from shadowed rooms and cobblestones to The Place Where the Black Stars Hang.

Have you seen the Yellow Sign? The Daughters of Carcosa know its message, every wound and poison, and are about to reveal its gravity to you.

Cassilda’s Song (Chaosium 2015) will be released at the Necronomicon Providence ’15 convention this August.

"Supremely glad that this is only Volume 1."

This is Ed Morris’ review of my collected King in Yellow tales (just released by Lovecraft Ezine Press). As he collaborated on one of these tales, it might be bad etiquette to post it here, but writers like to post raves, so—

“Supremely glad that

this is only

Volume 1.”

It is bad form to review a work

wherein the last story is a

collaboration with your-

self, but this is a

rare case. I asked.

The favor was

granted, the

form under-

stood.

Ah, Beast, teacher, Boogeyman, the father I actually found,

Sensei, dark midnight thunderer over metaphysical canons,

This collection, this chance, this great thing that

Mike Davis did, and everyone who proofed and dare

I say peopled its pages with dank cyanide Easter-

eggs: Mike Cisco. Kat Pulver. Brandi Jording.

Karl Edward Wagner. Laird Barron. Scott

Nicolay. David Lynch. But none of them

are big enough for Beast to hide

behind, even with false modesty,

homage, canonical Jazz and Ska

when all the stops come loose,

This series of etudes in every key,

This—Ah, Beast, the drunken

night behind the ropes at a

Tuscan restaurant while

the cooks paid back the

favor they owed the

Tuscan beauty on

my arm and we

drank till

four and

jukebox'd

Swing was

almost

this good. It almost

held this much weight, but

I don't have to put it

down after every story

and process what I

just read. Me.

Me.

You never cease to meditate on

Chambers, but never stayed

there, only jumped off

from there. Every time

I think you've cheated,

you rope-a-dope both
eyelids and I go
back one page and
Oh.

Oh.

Beast don't cheat. The reader
is his mouse. We get moved
back and forth on the
page. SWAT. SWAT. A
little blood, but
more to the field
of play. [END]

You can, of course, find the book at Lovecraft eZine Press, or Amazon.

thankful

Into the briar of harsh doubts this writer suffers (and clubs himself w/ everday), it's wonderful to read what I just read. THXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx S.j.Bagley!!!!!!!! You have immensely brightened my day.

What follows is what he posted --

"i've read quite a bit of literature and quite a bit of that reading has been work that could be called 'horror.'
and in that reading i have read work from any number of writers that are not simply good, but great.
writers who have something interesting to offer philosophically, aesthetically, and contextually....
one of those great writers is, without a doubt, joseph s. pulver, sr.
i have honestly never seen a writer able to work in an area so grimly combining horror that is both cosmic and personal with the trappings and philosophy of crime and noir fiction.
pulver's work takes place in a world where the idea of 'morality' is as quaint as the idea of a 'caring universe' and, yet, the ideas of pathos and empathy are still important.
in pulver's work, terrible people do terrible things and tend to be fully aware of just HOW terrible everything is.
it's a cold and dark world with small but powerful emotions lighting the way forward.
(and his understanding of poetics, not just in his own work but in the wider realm of poetry, is second to none.)
in short- he's a writer you should be reading. "

I'm floored and deeply humbled by his praise. As you would expect, very thankful!! !

The House of Hollow Wounds Book Tour

I’ve been informed that last night, my publisher sat w/ Borges and an unnamed administrator of the CONET PROJECT, sipping a homebrewed potion (they’d whipped up in the slopsink of the 2^nd floor bathroom), and THEY DECIDED, the only way to rack-up sales for my new collection of weird fiction, was for de bEast to take it on the road. Yeah, that’s right, readings in off-the-beaten-path & hitherto-unknown libraries (where Ellroy & VanderMeer & Jean Ray [if he was still around] and the other giants wouldn’t set foot for hugepiles-of-dollareagles), and dusty(indie)bookstores (you know the ones you find behind gas stations and above pawnshops that cater to the Satanik), and the nighttime backrooms of ginmills. They also concluded these appearances should take place in every state of The Union. So P’uuly-verre gets to take his manycolored-show of stained translations on the road – 50 days! 50 States! Will there be rain in Pageant, Kentucky? Grey in Spriggs, Texas? Gaudy statements, seething w/ tragic in Soul Francisco? Creepy, crawly in Sleepy Hollow? Yup. Will I quote KEW, and tip my hat to Goodis and C’ys-khone? Bet yer skinnybottom, I sho ‘nuff will!

Maps and directions to our first shindig have been printed on (pulp-grade) handbills, which you can find in various interstate rest rooms. Pick one up, translate it w/ your exclusive decoder of all things hush-hush, and drop by this evening. Refreshments will be served.

We will be repeating this message, or one very similar, tomorrow, before our next stop on the House of Hollow Wounds tour!

My newest collection has been released

My 4th mixed-genre collection is on the street. It has an intro and was edited, by none other than, Jeffrey "PUNKTOWN" Thomas. And AHoHW sports a haunting cover by Dani Serra! !!

“Pulver’s skills as a post-Beat visionary are in rare form. A House of Hollow Wounds is a thrilling foray into the dark frontier of the weird.”—Laird Barron

“The pieces assembled in A House of Hollow Wounds demonstrate the range of Joe Pulver’s considerable talent. . . . Like Picasso, Pulver moves restlessly, relentlessly from style to style, never content with what he has accomplished, chasing after some fabulous and deadly beast half-glimpsed around the corners of a maze. Dizzying, exhilarating stuff.”—John Langan

“[Pulver] is typically compared to a Lovecraftian version of the Beats, but A House of Hollow Wounds is in my opinion closer in style and emotional tone to French Decadent writers such as Baudelaire, Huysmans, and Rodenbach. It’s both wildly modern and original, and yet evokes those unsettling gothic and classical ‘vast chthonic wilderness pressing agaisnt the slender marble columns of civilization’ themes that are like heroin to me. Dark, poetic, sexual, obsessive, and exquisitely hallucinatory.”—Livia Llewellyn

Over the past decade, Joseph S. Pulver, Sr. has attracted a worldwide audience for his stories, vignettes, and prose-poems—works that expand the boundaries of prose expression and evoke scintillating images of wonder, fear, terror, and heartbreak. In this fourth collection of tales, following Blood Will Have Its Season (2009), SIN & ashes (2010), and Portraits of Ruin (2012), we find imaginative riffs on Edgar Allan Poe, Robert W. Chambers, H. P. Lovecraft, and others—but more than that, we find the evocative melding of horror and plangency that makes Pulver the most distinctive voice in modern weird fiction.

Jordan BossKrall is... has... WON"T STOP

BossKrall, via his DYNATOX MINISTRIES, has created an outlet for limited edition chapbooks by a variety of authors, Mike Griffin, Scott Nicolay and Daniel Mills, Suresh Subramanian, Wilum Pugmire, and Jayaprakash Satyamurthy, are but a few. The releeses include avant garde, horror, bizarro, science fiction, Weird fiction, poetry, and everything in between.

Well, seems BossKrall has one (now up for PRE-ORDER!! !) from this old bEast. Here's the details... kinda

FATALLY-COLORED GESTURESA WEIRD Western of Rage and Revenge

Cover art by “Nasty” Nicky Gucker, “The Hat Man”!! !

Rage and rain and lit-out and graves under the desert skies of the Post-Civil War, American Southwest. Ce and Johnny seen everything bad and ugly ridin’ with the Captain. Hell, they’ve even heard demons—

“Teatro.”
“What’s that, Captain?” Ce asked.
“Name of this place.”

Teatro.

No lamp lit
or bellweather.
No Hail Mary.
No truce ripe with hopefulness
to ward off the heartless, flamebird sun.
Teatro.
A word, long
as a long conversation of iron ghosts
on The Captain’s tongue.
Teatro.
Dead spot at the end of a silent road.

Saddle up, pard, there’s horrors strange and black as the brutal wastes between the stars up ahead . . . Looks like it’s going to be a bumpy ride

Disclaimer: We’d tell you Fatally-Colored Gestures is rated NC-17 (for BAD WORDS, sexual debasements, substance abuse, mean as Hell, GUTS & GORE, and KILL! KILL!), but then it’s published by BossKrall and penned by Pulver, so you know it’s lowdown and nasty.
