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.

Fierce As The Grave

More John Hornor Jacobs pimpage...

John reports that he has released a short collection of, uh, short fiction: Fierce As The Grave - A Quartet of Horror Fiction.

From the Amazon summary:
"These four tales deal with the unquiet dead in all its various forms. From ghosts to vampires, zombies to vengeful spirits, these stories take you from a soft-apocalyptic future where computers are symbiotic creatures burrowing into your skin, to a post-apocalyptic world where cowboys round up zombies for slaughter. You'll witness vampires hosting the birthday party of the century in a antebellum mansion in the old south and a young boy beginning to understand that the evil he does will come back to haunt him."

As per usual, he has managed to rattle up a pretty good cover.

Sounds/looks good, right?
And it's only a measley 99c. Yes, 99 cents!
What can you buy for 99c these days? This book, that's what.

Buy it here. No word on whether it will be released in any non-American Amazon formats (though you can read it using that Kindle desktop app thingy). Word has it that John doesn't like us fuh-reh-ners*.

Also, my internet buddy Joe Howe, aka "KentAllard", has an interview with John over at Horror World, as a part of his We Interrupt This Author series. Read thathere.

(*Disclaimer: may actually like us fuh-reh-ners)
