No, not here... over there.
Scott Nicholson is hosting an article by William Meikle over at his blog. He's also hosting a competition:
William is also giving away a free PDF of Crustaceans to the best horror joke posted in the comments. His choice, winner picked in seven days.
So, think of something funny, go here and post it, and you never know, you might be in Crab-horror-heaven in a week's time.
Here's a blurb and cover picture to wet your appetite:
It begins with a dead whale on a Boston shoreline...not an unusual occurrence. But the things that claw their way out of the blubber are unusual. A cast of giant crabs, evolved over centuries, make their way to the city using the sewer system. Soon they are swarming around Manhattan, hunted by a SWAT team tasked with ridding the city of the menace... before the menace rids itself of the city.
It's alive!
Well, almost.This blog was a little project I maintained from the beginning of 2009 to the end of 2011. I made a few friends through it, got more than a few free books, then took it all down after real life intruded to a degree that made it all feel too difficult. (Despite informing some author publicity agents of this - more than once - some of them kept blindly sending books. I wonder if their clients realise how hopeless they are? One of them even started sending medical thrillers - Googling for "doctor blogs" appeared to be the limit of their publicity skills.)
A while ago I found my old The Doctor Is In archive, and thought I might as well have it sitting there in "zombie mode". Gradually I'll be restoring my old posts. Even the cringe-worthy ones, of which there are many. I may even get back into the swing of things and post some news.
Alas, my old address (dochorror.blogspot.com) has been taken over by a squatter, and they've populated their blog with content stolen from various other blogs. Seriously, even their "Welcome!" blurb is stolen from Horror Movie A Day. Fucking leeches.
