Movies
Don't have much time for films with all the books and music, but favourites include This is Spinal Tap, The Blues Brothers, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Performance, The Doors and The Stepford Wives (the original, of course).
Television
Wall-to-wall news, with occasional breaks for CSI, Bargain Hunt, Neighbours, Home and Away, 8 Simple Rules and a documentary when the subject matter appeals. And yes, I watch Big Brother. Don't ask me why...

...and many, many, many more... Yes, I like books, and only wish I had time to read more.
Writer of postmodern fiction (novels and short stories); works are blackly humourous and, staunchly anti-genre and wilfully not plot-driven, with tendencies toward experimentalism and gratuitous sex and violence.

About me: Purveyor of fine postmodern fiction since 1975.
That isn't to say I've been physically writing since 1975: life is research.
Apart from a few gig reviews in local inkies and a growing number on line - in particular at Whisperinandhollerin - and a handful of short stories that have appeared on-line, publications to date include 'Bad Houses
(2006), a collection of short stories, and 'C.N.N.'
(2007) - a multimedia extravaganza produced in collaboration with Stuart Bateman, and THE PLAGIARIST.
A riot of experimentation, THE PLAGIARIST is an example of contemporary theory in practice, melding Bloom’s theories on influence to a series of unreliable or schizophrenic narrators against a backdrop created by Frederic Jameson. With a narrative fabricated from the effluvia of the now, which continues the work started by Burroughs and developed by contemporaries like Kenji Siratori, this book demonstrates how postmodern society can cause the individual to lose themselves and the plot.
Both 'Bad Houses' and 'THE PLAGIARIST' are available on Amazon now.
Items posted in the blog section are a range of homeless fragments and works in progress, punctuated by the occasional review as the mood takes me: few have been previously published or otherwise seen the light of day. Some may surface elsewhere in a revised form one day: others may not.

More blogs, etc., and more to come in due course (naturally). These things take time.
Who I'd like to meet: Myself in one of my former lives. Also people with diverse, eclectic and obscure tastes in music and an appreciation of non-mainstream literature - the kind I read, and of course, the kind I write...
Publishers, agents, anyone interested in getting my work out there are more than welcome, and similarly anyone who thinks they would like me to contribute to forthcoming publications, etc., is someone I'd like to meet.
Finally... I'm not so keen to 'meet' get-rich-quick schemes, ways to win the lottery, investment opportunities, adult sites / people who want me to pay to see nude pics, or lamecore rap acts. Really, what in my profile suggests I have any interest in the 'hoods of Cardiff, etc? And Nazi scum can fuck right off. Now.
Thanks for the ADD. Have fun with the FIRST OFFICIAL TRAILER of the Rose/Schnaas production we co-produced with LASER PARADISE in 2009, called UNRATED - The Movie and our latest Trailer of our UNDERGROUND Zombie Splatter Movie called GRAVEYARD OF THE LIVING DEAD. Please vote and quote!

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
THE RETURN OF THE BAT
Specimen will bring their special brand of glam mayhem, The Batcave to London again.
After last year’s wildly-successful 25th anniversary Batcave event, The Batcave returns to its original spawning ground of London’s West End on Sunday July 19 for another night of blasphemy, lechery and blood.
Specimen (Fresh from a fantastic show at Leipzig’s Waves Gotik festival), the original Batcave instigators will headline the lurid frolics at the Embassy Club, (29 Old Burlington St, London W1S3AP) Also on the bill are original Batcavers Sexbeat, with DJs Hamish and Cavey Nick, cavorting from decks to decadence with the usual brutal, trouser-dropping surprises & suitably confronting & barbaric entertainment.
The 2009 Batcave will feature installations from exciting new artists of the ‘Dark London Underground’ and visuals from the upcoming ‘Welcome To The Batcave’ book, along with this year’s bitcrushed message from the creature in t
Chicks dig scars, everyone knows that, right? Meet Severence DeSnappio, a man who creates ‘fake’ injuries for desperate clients. He’ll get you a stab wound, shot gun blast, snowboarding injury - but a bite from a great white shark?
Set in Miami, Chicks Dig scars is a lyrical, Lynchian mix of dream logic and hard boiled detection.
