Hi. My name is Del Stone Jr. and if that means nothing to you, which it probably doesn't, let me bring you up to speed. I write "dark fiction," the politically correct term for horror, science fiction and slipstream fiction. Does that make me a geek? Not in the least. I won't be playing poker with Will Wheaton next weekend, but I WILL be trying to think of new ways to scare the living hell out of you with my poetry, short stories, novellas, novels, comic book scripts and movie scripts! So ... what have I done? Well, I began selling my work professionally in the late 1980s, although my writing career didn't take off until 1993, when I sold a script to Marvel/Epic's "Hellraiser" series, based on the Clive Barker stories and movies, and a short story to the premiere SF anthology "Full Spectrum." Since then I've published short stories in numerous anthologies, like "The Year's Best Horror Stories XXIII," edited by Karl Edward Wagner, from DAW; "100 Wicked Little Witch Stories" from Barnes & Noble; "More Phobias" from Pocket Books; "Blood Muse" from Donald I. Fine Books; "100 Astounding Little Alien Stories" from Barnes & Noble; "365 Scary Stories" from Barnes & Noble; "Robert Bloch's Psychos" from Pocket Books; "Sex Macabre" from RhinocEros; the Avon Books anthology "Treachery and Treason"; and the acclaimed SF anthology "Live Without a Net" from Penguin Putnam. My novel "Dead Heat" was published by Mojo. In comics I not only scripted the "Hellraiser" story but wrote a story for the Dark Horse anthology "Andrew Vacchs' Underground," scripted a story for Penthouse Comix, wrote a graphic novel for Caliber and a serial story for their "Thumbscrew" magazine and helped script a graphic novel, "Rail," for Image. My novel "Dead Heat" won the International Horror Guild Award for best first novel and was a finalist for the Bram Stoker award, and my short fiction has appeared in anthologies that have won the World Fantasy Award and the Stoker. I even published a recipe in the Anne McAffrey cookbook "Serve It Up." My novella, "Black Tide" is out now from Telos and has been optioned for a movie! So there you have it - that's me, in a nutshell ... a looong nutshell. Sorry for the inconvenience; I get carried away. I hope you'll stick around for updates of more exciting projects under way. And let me assure you: The future is dark!

My mantra is: "Better to write for yourself and have no readers than to write for the readers and have no self."

"Unconventional is a wonderful story full of heart, humor, and what it means to truly be successful. An A+ novel for the keeper shelf. " - Gemma Halliday, award-winning author
Here's what people are saying about my novella, Monkey Love:
"John Paul Allen delivers well-drawn characters and emotional dynamite in this tale of dark suspense" - Scott Nicholson, author of They Hunger.
"One sadistic piece of work by one of the most talented new voices in dark fiction." - Karen Koehler, author of the Slayer series.
"Disturbing and intense, this story is a one-sit read that races, carrying you along to grim, uncharted terrain." - Lee Thomas, Bram Stoker Award-Winning author of Stained, Parish Damned and The Dust of Wonderland.
"From the first page, Monkey Love draws you into a surreal world that teeters on a disturbing balance of madness, eroticism, and obsession." David Niall Wilson, author of Deep Blue and Ancient Eyes.
"It's a wild ride, and I loved it from first page to last." - John R. Little, author of The Memory Tree and Placeholders.
"Exquisitely well-written, more than slightly twisted and compelling erotica for all horror readers." T.M. Wright, author of the forthcoming Bone Soup and Blue Canoe.
"Monkey Love is my first read by John Paul Allen and I can promise it won't be the last. Touching, peverse, oddly poignant and riddled with interesting questions about the nature of love and obsession, I can't recommend it enough. Monkey Love is the sort of tale that pushes the boundaries of comfortable and makes us question our own morals." - James A. Moore, author of Deeper and Blood Red.

Issue 2 celebrates Heaven, Earth, and Space in-between; it is touched by religion, grounded in technology and comfortable with the occult.
Including a language-stretching piece triggered by the Talmud from the legendary Hugh Fox, poems by haiku heavy-hitter Jim Kacian, the surprisingly touching “By Zombies; Eaten” from Christopher William Buecheler, and an alien perspective on human spirituality by Tina Connolly in the remarkable “The Salivary Reflex”
— all part of a drool-worthy two-hundred page selection of over twenty authors and artists.
