I'm an independent film-maker, whose Graduate film Paint was nominated for a BBC Award at the 17th Birmingham International Film and Television Festival.
I followed that with the self-produced Assembly Of Rogues, a documentary about the British Horror writing scene, for which I interviewed an exhaustive list of UK authors. With the help of John B. Ford, I also edited an anthology of the same name to accompany the documentary.
Published reviews include Conscience by John Skipp in Terror Tales 2 (Rainfall Books)& an essay on Peter Jackson's Brain Dead in Cinema Macabre (PS publishing).
I'm currently a publicist for the British Fantasy Society, and have been documenting the questionable goings-on at the annual British Fantasy Society's Convention FantasyCon, where I run the annual 'Short Film Showcase.
Who I'd like to meet:
Richard Matheson, Bender, Ray Bradbury, Skipp, Mayor West, Craig Spector, Trogdor, Stephen King and all the great people I've spoken to via e-mail over the last few years.
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! 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
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.
Many thanks for the add Martin! Assembly of Rogues was a great collection, still holding a decent spot in my library :) The doco was excellent too! take care, Steve.
Thanks for adding Jetpack Comics! Be sure to hit up JetpackComics. com! and if you're a Joe Hill fan, you'll want to get your hands on this exclusive LOCKE AND KEY #1 variant for the new ongoing series, limited to 1000!
