I love ancient history. Especially the history of ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt. I love finding a new quote that fits with my personality (my headline quote is Mellville.) I have a passion for writing, reading, and more writing.
There is something in every genre that I enjoy - except opera and bluegrass. Classical to country to hip hop, I'm open.
Movies
I love horror and comedy. (Especially Horror.)
Television
I can't hardly stand to watch TV these days. I prefer to spend time writing. Yet, there are some shows worth watching.
Books
To Kill a Mocking Bird has always been one of my favorites. I read fiction here and there, but for entertainment, I enjoy History books, Mythology books, National Geographic, Time, and things.
Sometimes, I wish I was more like Boo Radley.
I've always wondered exactly what "Night's Plutonian Shore" looks like...
SOME BOOK COVERS I DID. AND...I'M NOT ONLY THE HAIR CLUB PRESIDENT, BUT I'M ALSO A CLIENT. * THAT IS TO SAY, I'M NOT ONLY THE PHOTOGRAPHER, BUT I'M ALSO "THE HAND." AN EXAMPLE OF MY BETTER "MULTI-TASKING."
Carnifex Press has closed. To make The Watching available, I have put it on lulu.
"C. S. Johnson's THE WATCHING is brilliant and vividly-written, not allowing itself to be put down. Expertly drawn characters, a perfect blending of real and surreal with a dash of subtle horror, make this story an enjoyably-troubling experience ." Victor Heck - Author of Book of Legion
"It's not often I find a first time author with all their cupboards full, literally. In her first, THE WATCHING, C. S. Johnson brings you along on her train wreck. Yes, a train wreck. This is a nightmare and you get to live it with every turn of the page. You will never look at your dogs the same way again, trust me.
"Well written, edited and put together, you will not be disappointed." Joe Lawson - Author of The Calm Before The Storm
New Author C.S. Johnson's "The Watching" has all the elements of what we like in good horror: isolation, separation, tension, villains and real and surreal characters that a reader can relate to. From the git-go, there's a an eerie sense of foreboding that pulls you into the story. Little by little, the reader is afforded a glimpse, a ring side seat if you will, of the inevitable. Even as the tension builds, it is an easy and enjoyable read that continually rolls towards its climax and does not trip over itself, which is too often the great mistake of new writers. A proud coming out that we enjoyed reading.
-Thug Works Magazine
"The Watching is a unique take on a very old theme with plot twists that will blindside you. C. S. Johnson’s debut novella shows the promise of a writer who is destined to go places." – J. F. Gonzalez, author of Clickers II: The Next Wave, When the Darkness Falls, and Bully.
An extraordinary debut. One must suspend disbelief to appreciate that it is, in fact, C.S. Johnson's first effort in this genre. The reader is invited for a cursory look at what appears to be an atypical, albeit, dysfunctional family. But that invitee soon finds himself being led down a creaking staircase into the family's cellar, where humanity, with all its fear, betrayal, and madness, is cleverly, and slowly, displayed. All things are not what they seem in this expose of the human soul. The reader will be grateful for the invitation, but hesitant to linger in the company of these well defined, but pained, fictional characters. The excursion will also make him leery about inviting anyone into his own home again. Human, or otherwise.
~ Thomas O'Callaghan, author of the NYPD Lieutenant John Driscoll series, including BONE THIEF and THE SCREAMING ROOM, from Kensington Books.

Greetings! I just wanted to let you know that my new novella, Apartment 14F: An Oriental Ghost Story, is out NOW! The publisher, Damnation Books, is running a cool promotion called variable pricing, whereby the first copy is FREE then the price increases daily. At the moment the PDF is selling for only $1.10, almost a quarter of the RRP. Get it HERE!
Loads of other great reads too. After all, what the hell else can you buy for $1.10?
Several people wanted me to put together something that shows the firewhip in action. So we came up with something sort of fun to test how fire would work against a green screen. Thought you might like it.
