COYS!!          WE WANT EUROPE!

Waiting For October is coming!

A lot of my MySpace friends have been wondering where I've been lately and sending me lots of nice comments...and a few worried ones! Rest assured I didn't fall off the earth for the past month -- I just lost my balance for a couple weeks :-) I've been burning the candle 'til midnights lately to design a new anthology for Dark Arts Books called Waiting For October, which finally went to press this week! It features 12 stories in all -- three twisted, funny, gory, creepy and amazing stories each by four authors -- Jeff Strand, Adam Pepper, Sarah Pinborough and Jeffrey Thomas. I've also just finished updating the Dark Arts Books website with the table of contents and ordering info for Waiting for October; I hope you'll take a look and consider checking out a copy of the book! There are some stories in this collection that will haunt you for days!

Celebrate Valentine's Day with a little Voodoo!!

If you're looking for a little story of adultery, voodoo and zombie curses to spice up your Valentine's Day... you might enjoy reading my story Vigilantes of Love.

May this Valentine's Day bring you all the heart you desire...even if it's a heart dripping warm blood from between your clenched fingers...

Happy New Year!!

I hope you, and your friends and family, had a fun and safe New Year's Eve...here's to a great 2007!

This is the time of year to look back at the past before moving forward, and last week, my Pop Stops newspaper column featured my picks for the Top 25 Albums of 2006. I posted that column in my MySpace blog for anyone interested in reading it who doesn't happen to live in the Chicago area and already receive The Star Newspaper! I hope you'll enjoy my survey of the past year's music scene -- maybe it will help you discover a great album you missed last year, as we begin 2007 -- Here's to a Happy Ghoul Year!

Christmas is a Time for Magic!!

Hi theNomad!
A few weeks ago, I posted one of my most popular short stories, "Pumpkin Head" on my web site to celebrate Halloween. It got such a great response, I thought I'd offer something new for Christmas! Recently in an interview, someone asked if I ever write fiction outside of the horror genre. The answer is...absolutely! Several of my lighter fantasy pieces appear in my Vigilantes of Love collection, including the story "Christmas, the Hard Way," which features white magic and a ghostly aunt. I originally wrote and distributed the story in a small chapbook to friends and family for the holidays several years ago before it was printed in the book. Over the past decade, I've celebrated Christmas with a variety of similar creative projects, and I've posted some of them online for you and your friends and families to enjoy! You can read "Christmas the Hard Way," listen to a holiday song I wrote, download wallpaper for your computer AND get a special offer on buying some books if you want (and remember, they make great gifts!!!)

Just visit my John Everson Christmas page for the holiday madness - and Merry Christmas to you and yours!!

October is here - my favorite month of the year!!

I've posted one of my most popular stories, "Pumpkin Head" on my web site for my MySpace friends. This twisted, disastrously dark story of what befalls a boy who defiles a pumpkin first appeared in Grue magazine back in 1998, and has since been reprinted three times. It will appear in a French translation next year. But you can read it here.

Take a peek...if you dare! And Happy Halloween!

Thanks for the Add - Darkest Summer Dreams to You!
