   Weston's Blurbs
About me:
Hi. My name is Weston and I've been writing science fiction and horror since the mid-90s. In fact, I'm obsessed with it. I've won the Bram Stoker Award, been nominated for the Pushcart Prize for Fiction and can't get enough.

I've been in a bunch of magazines,  anthologies and comic books, such as The Keep, Angel, CSI:NY and Shadowplay, as well as Horror Garage and Insidious Reflections. I have written articles on writing which have appeared in such books as the Writer's Digest Book's Writing Horror.

My first novel, Scarecrow Gods, sold out to popular acclaim in the summer of 2005. My second novel, Recalled to Life, sold out to similar acclaim in 2006.  Scarecrow Gods is due out in paperback in May 2008.  The sequel to Recalled to Life is called The Golden Thread and is due out in July 2008.

Other than writing, I live in Southern Arizona with my wife and fellow author, Yvonne Navarro, and my two steeds (Great Danes) Pester Ghost Palm Eater and Goblin Monster Dog. I am a retired U.S. Army Interrogator, have traveled to over 50 countries and have a story for every occasion.

Please email, comment or write to me. Whichever way you choose, I promise I'll write back. This is not a threat.

Chicks Dig Scars - Chapter One

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?

S
et in Miami, Chicks Dig scars is a lyrical, Lynchian mix of dream logic and hard boiled detection.

Subscribe to my blog to follow the serialization.

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

GUD Magazine





Feb 26 2008 8:30 PM

Just wanted to let you (and your comment-reading friends) know that GUD Issue 2 is now available for purchase! And if you create a GUD Magazine acccount, you'll get a full story or poem from the issue free, just to show you what we're made of!

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.
