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.

Bryan Smith's Deadworld is go!

I interrupt this hiatus with a brief announcement...

Bryan Smith has released his first ever self-published ebook: Deadworld, a never-before published novel.

From the blurb:
Horror writer Bryan Smith, author of Depraved, The Killing Kind, and The Freakshow unleashes an epic work of apocalyptic horror. In DEADWORLD, a full-length novel of approximately 90,000 words, an infinitude of alternate realities exist side by side. From the dawn of time, each of these alternate realities has been beyond the reach of the others.

UNTIL NOW.

The wall separating earth and another of the realities crumbles. The fabric of existence itself unravels. Soon an army of winged creatures tears its way into our world, laying waste to the entire planet... 


Head over to his blog for the announcement, or over here (Amazon page) to read a fuller description. Hell, while you're there just buy it. Bryan was easily one of the better writers in the Leisure horror stable and has been well reviewed on this blog, so at $2.99 this book is a steal.

And get a load of the cover by John Hornor Jacobs:



Other formats are forthcoming (e.g. via Smashwords), but it seems to convert fine using Calibre.
