SIN gets another RAVE! !!

Part of it says " this volume is a MUST-READ for those who appreciate literary horror/speculative fiction. I should correct that statement to read "MUST-EXPERIENCE", because the reader doesn't only read a Pulver story, the prose and story-telling are so devastatingly powerful that each story is a soul-searing EXPERIENCE. Highly recommended."

The rest of it is here

If you read my work then you know I love the HARD stuff! !! The last few monsters of "Hard" that rocked my world and left me in AWE ~

Now I'm reading Pearce Hansen's STREET RAISED

When Speedy raises from Pelican Bay State Prison, he hitchhikes home to Oakland only to find his little brother, Willy, a homeless crack addict, and his best friend, Fat Bob, bouncing in SF’s underground punk clubs. When two of their childhood homeboys get wrapped in chains by Mexican Mafia drug dealers and thrown in the American River alive, our heroes somehow get it together enough to plot revenge. Sure, it maybe takes the edge of Speedy’s game a little when he starts playing house with beautiful phone psychic Carmel. And it complicates things a bit more when Officer Louis, the same black cop who put Speedy in prison, starts dogging their steps like an unwelcome relative. But when a racist coven of skinheads comes howling for Speedy and Carmel’s blood, and a serial killer with a monster in his head decides that Speedy is the answer to all his unholy prayers, things get really interesting . . .

Add him and his book to that list! !! This is a monster! !! In "my" Crime/Mystery/Hardboiled library, Hansen is now in my Top 50 of all time [yes, I typed that right!] and I'm not even done with it yet! !!

You NEED this! NUFF SAID!

Piano With A Broken Key

Piano With A Broken Key


Moon
not at war tonight. Hours
deep as any dark
clocking
me.
Please was breached.
I watched it turn away from
endure.
Sleep
would like to go back and make it right.
I’d like
to show willing
the ghost
in this knife.
Like to.
I’d like to
smother
in the soft
cheek of blue. Like to.
Scramble
but I lack intent.

My guest blog arrives

Here's the link

Guest blog on SNS

just sent my guest blog for SheNeverSlept.com to Sarah . . . Tore up a few attempts then settled on a "Author's Notes" for SIN. I was lucky enough to win a 2010 NIGHTMARE AWARD for SIN from SNS, so I thought I'd shared some of the behind the scenes of SIN . . .
My post will be up sometime this weekend. Drop by and look behind the curtain . . . If it causes you to yawn, don't blame me, yell at the editors . . .

SNS [and their rave review of SIN] is here

After the Stokers

The Stokers are great, but there is another award, the best one a writer can get, that's the READER! !! Readers can give books and writers/editors that award by getting out there and making noise about books they've enjoyed. Share on FB, push the LIKE button on Amazon [post reviews too], tweet and blog, make mentions on TLO and other forums, and the books you enjoy get noticed . . . This is a great time for horror fans -- Get out there and HOWL at the moon! !!

When you push that LIKE button on Amazon it's like you hug the writer or editor. Musicians get applause, we have you The Reader and we do want to hear what you think.
