    John Edward Lawson, bizarro author's Interests
GeneralFor the past several years I have evaluated manuscripts for authors as a favor but, due to increased workload, I won't be able to continue doing so in the foreseeable future. Raw Dog Screaming Press is also closed to submissions, so I (and the other editors!) can't look at any manuscripts for publication either. I enjoy supporting authors in their attempt to get books published, and hope to be in a position where I can offer feedback in the future, but for now I'll only be able to look at short pieces posted online. Thanks for understanding!

Publishing - Writer - Novelist
I'm an author of cross-genre literature most people consider "bizarro." It's very dark, very humorous, and very surreal. I publish a new book every couple months or so, with multiple anthology appearances ever year.
Film - Composition - Screenwriting
Director Jayson Densman is at work on a series of short films based on my poetry. For feature-length scripts I work on the full range of genres - from thrillers to children's animation to avant garde.
Publishing - Writer - Poet
I have four poetry collections and well over a hundred poems published in literary journals, anthologies, and magazines. Award nominations include 1 Bram Stoker, 2 Rhysling, and 2 Dwarf Star.

   John Edward Lawson, bizarro author's Blurbs
About me:
I live in suburban Maryland with my wife and son. During the 1990's I kicked around in the D.C. industrial-electro-goth scene in the band Dead Letter Office and owned Rack and Ruin Studio. Currently I'm a full-time member of the bizarro community, functioning as an author of poetry, nonfiction, and stories, as well as an editor.

I'm also a founding editor of Raw Dog Screaming Press, and their new imprints Imaginary Books (children's) and Guide Dog Books (nonfiction). For four years I was editor of The Dream People literary journal of bizarro fiction and poetry. You can spy on me at http://www.johnlawson.org.

FILMS

..PoVids

..The PoVids are a series of short films by director Jayson Densman, based on my poetry. Right now the plan is to produce 3-5 of these over the course of 2009/2010, with an intense film festival crusade to follow. The first is in pre-production now. More soon...

..Spin

..Spin is a mockumentary in the style of Spinal Tap and Borat. To be filmed by Canadian director SV Bell; cowritten with Robbie Ribspreader. More information soon.

..Raw Dog Screaming

..Raw Dog Screaming is a dark and twisted horror/gore flick. This sucker features lots of blood, violence, and a half-naked man in a speedo wielding a knife. Very brutal and unforgiving, with a bit of a 70's slasher/splatterpunk aesthetic.

The title of the film comes from the poem of the same name written by acclaimed underground author John Edward Lawson. Portions of the poem are recited throughout the film, as read by director Royce Icon. The film also features music from Royce Icon's album "Constant Winter", released on EnoughRecords.

Runtime: 1m 44s.

You can view it here.

Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!

There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.

Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."

And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."

Hi there!
My debut novel, The Cuckoo Parchment and the Dyke, has just launched. If you get a chance I'd be grateful if you'd go to my profile to find out more. The story's about Dada, art and artists, and the attempt to instigate revolution by means of art.
Thanks and take care,
Michael
