Too many to mention specifically. Favorite genres -- rock, folk, pop, a bit of classical. Oh and show tunes. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
Irish written or themed (Joyce, Malachi McCourt, Patrick McCabe, Yeats, etc.); some Beat lit (JK, Buk, etc.); humor (Perelman, Mark O'Donnell, Jonathan Ames, Matt Klam, etc.); SF (Bradbury, Ellison, Ballard, Doctorow, Mamatas, Sommers, Scalzi, etc.); Modern (Hemingway (short stories), FSF, ee cummings, etc.), Postmodern (Pynchon, Calvino, Sorrentino, etc.)
A few years ago I relocated from Philadelphia where I was once involved with the late Theater Center Philadelphia, in ways both artistic and businesslike. Currently I hang out in Brattleboro, Vermont.
I've worked for several northern New Jersey newspapers as a columnist, reporter and photographer; have written on film for publications like Cinefantastique and on collectibles for Scott's Monthly, among others; had my fiction appear in national magazines. You can also find a sage quote of mine, re marriage, in Jaime Allen's book How to Survive Your Marriage: by Hundreds of Happy Couples Who Did and Some Things to Avoid, From a Few Ex-Spouses who Didn't (Hundreds of Heads Survival Guides). Take a guess which category in the title I fit into.
Online my work -- usually humorous -- has appeared in McSweeney's, Lee Klein's Eyeshot, Hobart, etc. I am currently a founding member in good standing of The Guild of Outsider Writers (outsiderwriters.org). Let's see how long it takes me to screw something up there.
My most unusual work involved paying down legal fees (don't ask) by writing jokes for a lawyer to tell at a local-celebrity roast. I was also tenuously connected to the then "greatest living American author," Neal Pollack, as President of the Neal Pollack Fan Club. (For my trouble, Pollack made me, J. Douglas Finch, a character in his rock 'n roll novel, Never Mind The Pollacks. I'm on page 138. Or is it 139? Anyway, I make my appearance right after Iggy Pop. Nice company, don't you think?)
In the real world I write a regular column on collectibles and also publish new and established genre writers in The Whirligigzine, one of the few publications of its kind that pays its writers. Contact me if you want a copy. Let's make a deal...

Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my 2nd horror novel SACRIFICE is now in stores everywhere, including Amazon.com! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride! Here are a couple reviews it's gotten so far:
“SACRIFICE is a full frontal assault on your senses. It is a dark, brutal, bloody and terribly frightening book. Everson went deep into some dark abyss to bring this book to the light of day.... I highly recommend SACRIFICE.” —Famous Monsters of Filmland
“John Everson manages in SACRIFICE to dispense buckets of blood, provide edgy perversity, and walk the tenuous tightrope of horror and sex without falling: It’s rather an amazing feat.” –Hell Notes

My husband and I were watching “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” while we were in bed.. I turned to him and said,
“Do you want to have sex?” “No,” he answered. I then said, “Is that your final answer?” He didn’t even look at me this time, simply saying, “Yes.” So I said, “Then I’d like to phone a friend.”
