Re: "Flowers in Winter" in Legends 3 « Result #2 on Sept 10, 2009, 9:41pm »
NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER!
From the Woodland Press website:
"The third and final installment of the Legends of the Mountain State series is already being called the most amazing of the ghostly trilogy. Michael Knost again takes the reins as chief editor and coordinator. Here you’ll find 13 final chapters—bone-chilling ghost tales and treacherous legends—to delight the reader. Stories are penned by many of the preeminent writers in the business. The tone in this project is perhaps darker, tales creepier, and the overall texture even grittier than the first two installments.
"'(West Virginia) is often portrayed with absurd stereotypical elements. Movies like Deliverance, Wrong Turn, and many others offer the impression that the Mountain State is overflowing with ignorant, incestuous, bloodthirsty hillbillies—and as my fellow Mountaineers know, that simply is a false view," Michael Knost writes. "This is why I love the Legends of the Mountain State series. Writers from all over the United States (and a few from Canada) offer respectful stories depicting our citizens as normal American’s caught in the middle of a spooky legend or ghost story.'
"Foreword by Homer Hickam, one of America's most beloved authors. Pre-order today. Legends of the Mountain State will ship on or before October 12th, 2009.
Legends 3 contributors include:
• Elizabeth Massie • Michael West • Scott Nicholson • John R. Little • Brian J. Hatcher • Kelli Dunlap • Matt Venne • Douglas F. Warrick • Steve Verno • Fran Friel • Matthew Warner • Mark Justice • J.G. Faherty

"Packing more knowledge and sound advice than four years' worth of college courses...It's focused on the root of your evil, the writing itself." --Fangoria Magazine
"A veritable treasure trove of information for aspiring writers--straight from the mouths of today's top horror scribes!" --Rue Morgue Magazine
"Flowers in Winter" in Legends 3 « Result #5 on Aug 23, 2009, 5:19pm »
"I have always been a fan of folk tales and regional fiction, admiring both their narrative authenticity and organic origins. But in a brilliant bit of post-modern tweaking, Michael Knost has recruited a host of contemporary horror writers to put their own spin on spooky legends from West Virginia. The result is a series of wonderful stories that seem as old as the hills and as current as today's news. Bravo!" ~Bentley Little
I am thrilled that my short story, "Flowers in Winter," based on the legend of The John North House in Lewisburg, WV, will be part of the third Legends of the Mountain State anthology, due out this October.

You will be able to find me at SIX conventions in the next four months. I will be signing at some, will have a table at others, and will just be shaking hands and meeting fans at still others (But don't hesitate to ask me for copies of my latest works. Always have those on hand. ).

Rest in Peace: Clayton Hill « Result #9 on Jul 27, 2009, 9:39pm »
Clayton Hill (above, right), the "sweater zombie" from George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead, died July 25th following a stroke.
I had the pleasure of meeting Clayton and his lovely wife, Sharon (above, left), at several conventions over the years, and they always had a genuine smile, a friendly word, and a great love and respect for horror fans everywhere. My thoughts are with Sharon and his entire family. He will be greatly missed.
