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.

The 8th Black Book of Horror is upon us!

Charles Black has unleashed yet another Black Book on the world. This is the 8th collection from Mortbury Press (8th!? How time flies), and marks the welcome return of several Black Book regulars.

And check out the cover by Paul Mudie, featuring the disembodied heads of the contributing authors:



I reviewed The 6th Black Book of Horror here quite favourably. Based on that experience, I'm especially looking forward to reading Stephen Bacon's contribution (he's the head to the left of the central upside-down lady).
