I consider myself a postmodernist. I love all genres and consider Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, Peter Straub, Clive Barker and Dashiell Hammett my literary Charons. I love comic books, read voraciously about pop culture, and try not to get bogged down in politics.

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.
Who I'd like to meet:
Readers! Go to your local bookstore, Amazon.com
or Horror-Mall
and pick up a copy of one of my novels, short story collections,
magazines or comic books. You'll be supporting a new writer, and you'll
get a cool read out of it. I'll even sign it for you...e-mail me and
I'll tell you where to send it.

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."
THE DARK PATH is out now and took just one week to become the Fictionwise and eBookwise #1 best selling Horror, and is now #1 best selling and highest rated WCP title on both sites!

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
