When the story is complete, I'll be sure to send it off to you. Thank you for the link to "Peekers." I should have some time this evening to watch it. I'll share my reaction once I've done so. And I certainly look forward to the film version of "Underneath."

[Kealan Patrick Burke]

I haven't seen the short film of "Peekers," but I'm very interested in it. Where is it available? I seem to remember seeing a link for it on your web site.

As for writing a story based on my childhood dreams, I've hesitated because of a couple similarities to "Peekers." However, I'm sure with that in mind, I'll create something sufficiently different that nobody will burn me at the stake for plagarism. Especially now that we've discussed this particular topic on a public forum. Actually, I may begin composing that particular tale today... When it's complete, I'll share it with you for your reading enjoyment if you'd like.

That's great! And yes, please do. I'd love to see it!

Incidentally, the same director has just optioned "Underneath" from SHIVERS III and my collection THE NUMBER 121 TO PENNSYLVANIA.

Yikes, I think that's worse than "Peekers" - at least my creepies didn't bite. I assume you'll be writing this story down at some point, yes? Seems like prime material to me.

Also, have you seen the short film of "Peekers"?

Cool. Thanks for the link to the blog. I'm getting a bit older and I always forget about all the fancy information available on the net.

You and me both!

[Ben Staad]

Tom, you bet! You can also keep up with announcements, news etc, at my blog.

You're welcome for my post. Every word was sincere. You're writing is pure magic. Thank you for the words of encouragement. My lifelong dream has been to become a full-time published writer, and I intend to achieve that goal eventually. Anyway, looking very much forward to Kin as soon as I secure a copy.

By the way, of all your shorter works, "Peekers" resonated with me the most. As a child, I had a series of nightmares similar to that tale. In the dreams, I was surrounded by family and friends. Although they looked familiar, underneath the veneer, they were all something else. Some of those folks walked up to me and bit my arm or face or whatever other body parts were within easy reach. Because of those nighttime journeys, I experienced genuine terror while reading "Peekers." And it takes a lot to creep me out while reading a story.

The Living sounds like a great book, really like the idea of the twist on the normal zombie novel. Could you please give details of when it will be out?

Thanks

Horror Scribe, what an absolutely amazing post. Thank you so much, and I'm delighted to hear that I helped inspire you to some degree. There is no greater compliment as a writer than that. And congratulations on finishing the novella! You mentioned the e-serial MASTER OF THE MOORS above. That's what it took for me to finish a novel--to let the public see it chapter by chapter so that I knew I would have to finish it. Up until then, I was lucky to be able to finish a novella. Over time though, the stories will demand more attention, the threads will get longer, more complicated, and you'll find the worlds you're creating will expand. And what a thrill it is!

Thank you again for your post. You made my day!
