So what happens when your first anthology was cancelled but you’ve got round three on the back burner? Well, actually, it’s complicated. We’ve spoken previously about Mick Garris’ Masters of Horror, which brought life into the anthology genre when we needed it again. A year later, Fear Itself brings anthology horror back to primetime.
Now, if you’re me, anthologies are kind of your life. This is one of my favorite parts of Horror, and so being able to see what new takes and tales are on the horizon excites me. Fear Itself was essentially the spiritual third season of Masters. The first episode Eater drug me down the rabbit hole and before I knew...

“Hallowed be thy name, oh Lord, and shotgun do your stuff,” wrote Joe R. Lansdale in one of his more than 50 novels, 400 short stories, and countless comic books and screenplays. But while a prolific storyteller, Lansdale is no ordinary writer. He’s the kind of guy who when tasked with writing a sequel to The Drive-In, he subtitled it Not Just One of Them Sequels. He knew you couldn’t skin a rabbit and keep it as a pet. The Texas native also inspired a generation of suspense writers, and the immersive and obsessive documentary on the author, All Hail the Popcorn King, has been touring the country and will be released wider over the coming months.
By the same token, Hansi Oppenheimer is not just any documentary filmmaker. She put the grr in fangrrl. Her upcoming All Hail the Popcorn King promises to be a “five-star” documentary on the award-winning author and screenwriter.

Many monsters came to Midian seeking shelter from the hate of humanity. That hate brought death and destruction to the supposedly safe haven in the 1988 novel, Cabal, and its film adaptation, Nightbreed (1990), leaving viewers to wonder what Clive Barker's eclectic cast of characters would do next. On July 28th, Tor Books will release a highly anticipated 300+ page answer (in both hardcover and Kindle) to that question with the Nightbreed sequel anthology, Midian Unmade: Tales of Clive Barker's Nightbreed. Featuring an introduction by Barker and short stories from a wide range of great writers (including David J. Schow, C. Robert Cargill, and Weston Ochse), this Nightbreed collection explores what happened after the last page was turned and the end credits rolled in Barker's brilliant world of the lost and lonely.
Synopsis: "An all-original horror anthology set in the world of Clive Barker's cult film masterpiece, Nightbreed, and including stories by Seanan McGuire,...

Dread Central is pleased to announce that we've teamed up with Nightmare Magazine to present new horror fiction to our readers. Once a month we'll be featuring a story from Nightmare’s current issue. Kicking things off is our July selection, “The Black Window” by Lane Robins.
We hope you enjoy it; please let us know what you think!
"The Black Window" by Lane Robins
The house looked like a sand castle after the tide had come in. Except sand suggested a crumbling grayness, and the tall, narrow house was a fresh white. A front porch was large enough for a swinging bench if I could bear that level of domesticity. Blue shutters marched from the ground floor to the third, and above that—
“. . . a finished attic,” the Realtor told me.
The house was . . . nice. Nothing I’d ever wanted. I loved my job, loved that my years were split...

Nicholas Vince has not acted in twenty years due to a combination of things, including the unfortunate passing of his father. Yet he remains in demand with fans at horror conventions today as much as he did decades ago. It is on the strength of two characters, both created on the page by Clive Barker and brought to life by Nicholas Vince - the "Chattering Cenobite" in Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser II, and the role of "Kinski" in Nightbreed. Nicholas was in town recently for the Monsterpalooza Convention, and swung by Dark Delicacies to drop off copies of his latest book. Nicholas is a delightful man, with a very evident lust for horror. The following interview was conducted in the car as I drove him from Dark Delicacies to his hotel room prior to his flight back to England. Fearnet: Why did you decide to start writing prose?

In the second half of my interview with the amazing Lance Henriksen he spoke about pottery, Art, what is life, and women (see part 1 of the interview here). I didn't say much but merely hung on to the adventure of our conversation so that I didn't get lost.
Did you take time off from the pottery making because you didn't have the correct setup to create it?
That's right. When I'm not working, I need a studio. Now I have that and I'm working everyday down there. I was down there three-quarters of today. I have a love and respect of labor. I need labor. I can't live just in my brain. I have to labor. Something happens to me. I feel really good.
The accomplishment? The satisfaction of completing something?
That's to put it mildly. There's a whole culture of potters in America that have been devastated or made.

At a recent signing at Dark Delicacies, I was able to sit down with Lance Henriksen and speak for a few moments. I thought we would be talking about his recent western/supernatural graphic novel project with Joe Maddrey entitled To Hell You Ride, but, as you'll soon encounter like I did in this multi-part interview, the conversation soon took on a life of its own. Fearnet: I hear that you and Joe Maddrey have been working on the graphic novel To Hell You Ride for a couple of years. Henriksen: Yeah. Tom Mandrake lives in New Jersey and Joe and I live out here [in California]. What started all of this is that I wrote a script 20-25 years ago called Telluride. A Western? It was this story. I was down at Comic-Con and Mike Richardson [of Dark Horse Comics] shook my hand and said, "Do you want to do a comic? I just shook your hand,...

Between the time Thomas Dunne published horror author Weston Ochse's first book in the Seal Team 666 series around Thanksgiving of 2012 and the 2nd book, Age of Blood, around Halloween of 2013 an amazing thing happened, Hollywood came knocking. Weston took a few minutes out of his busy signing schedule to talk to us about it.
Where did Seal Team 666 come from?
Myself, Peter Straub, Jack Ketchum and a whole bunch of other folks were at a Dead Dog party at World Horror Convention is Austin. We were getting pretty hammered when one of the guys came running in and said "Turn on the TV!" We turned on the TV and President Obama was on announcing the take down and killing of Osama Bin Laden. It was ridiculous how cheerful and happy we felt about the death of this guy. Because he was the cause of so many deaths of Americans and so much anger.

In Part One we talked about how Christopher Payne decided to get into small press publishing. His first couple of years involved new authors whose writing he liked. But he realized he needed some well-known name value in his authors if his company was going to grow and begin selling great enough numbers of books to be self-sustaining. But "names" in horror are not the same as names in general literature.
By "well-known" where do you put that criteria?
Granted. Definitely mid-tier or low-end mid-tier as far as sales. But in 2013 we're working with Jonathan Maberry and some others. Now you take that into 2014 and you have a situation where I had to close down submissions because I can't take any more than I already had. 2014 is signed, full, and done. It's an entirely different looking company. It seems to have evolved every year. We're growing so fast.

JournalStone Publishing has become something of a show-off in horror publishing since their inception. Signing up some big names and purchasing one of the dominant literary magazines in the genre has put them in the spotlight. But where did they come from? What is the background of this company? I sat down with owner Christopher C. Payne recently at Dark Delicacies to talk about the new kid on the horror block. FEARnet: How did you get into the whole publishing end of things? Christopher C. Payne: It's a long story. It started out as a mid-life crisis. I went through a divorce and I got into writing. I don't think I was that good as a writer. Short Stories? Books? Books. Just went straight into books. Then went into self-publishing and thought that it was more of a scam than anything. I decided I could figure out a way to do it myself (publish,...

[Part 1 of this interview is available here.] David S. Cohen is an entertainment writer whom, along with his regular gig, has written and compiled two "Making of..." coffee-table-type books, one for Rango and one for Pacific Rim. But putting one of these tomes together is not just a matter of pasting up art and writing captions; many times the art isn't available, or the publisher and the studio are not on the same page, catching the author in the middle and scrambling to figure out what he can pull for his book and still make a deadline. In the second half of our conversation we discuss some of those problems. When they lined up the book Rango, like Insight Editions lines up Pacific Rim, they don't line it up with the studios involved and then the studios just open up their archives for the project? The conversation that was happening between Paramount and Insight Editions was "Well,...

That big summer blockbuster comes out and you love it so much you want to own the "Making of ..." or "The Art of ..." book to look through and enjoy all over again. But did you ever wonder what goes into putting one of these Making of books together. I spoke with author David S. Cohen at his Dark Delicacies signing for his large art book Pacific Rim: Man, Machines, and Monsters. He was able to offer a little insight into the fringe area of these very specialized books.
So the book actually came out just prior to the film's release?
When I landed the job, one of their biggest fears was that I would ruin the ending. I thought, "I know how to handle this so that it doesn't completely spoil the ending."
Are there things not in the book because Legendary didn't want them in there for reasons...

This is Part 6 (the final part) of our interview with author C. Robert Cargill and director/Screenwriter Scott Derrickson. They have been working as a team ever since finding their love of each other's storytelling style. As we wrap up our six part interview with them they offer an inside view of their own work.
Derrickson - After The Day the Earth Stood Still...that movie was pretty critically lambasted and didn't make as much domestic money as it should have made. It made a ton of money worldwide. It was still a win for the studio. But the domestic number is the sexy number. For me, after that, the things that I was being offered were really bad studio sequels and movies that I wouldn't pay to see, let alone make.
So that's why when I ran into Cargill and he pitched me that idea for Sinister I was like "This is the one!

In Part Five, C. Robert Cargill and Scott Derrickson continue with their insight on how to break into the mainstream entertainment business (by somebody being the gatekeeper and holding the door for you) and why certain films and books are greenlit and some are not.
I'm of the school of thought that if somebody has something artistically strong there is enough room for anybody at that house party. My problem is that too many people who don't do things correctly or really have little to offer get into the same party. Who held the window for you?
Derrickson - That's a good question. The first person of note who did it was Bryan Singer. I had come out of film school and he was the first person to read, right after Usual Suspects and he was making X-Men, and he read a script I had written and watched a short film I'd made from USC.

In Part Four of our exclusive interview with Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill we continue talking about selling writing to film and exactly what producers are looking for to make into a movie.
Even in prose you are writing for the sales team. If your agent sends it to a publisher, the publisher passes it on to the sales team. If they come back and say they don't know how to market the book the publisher doesn't buy it.
C. Robert Cargill - It also comes with the additional problem of the audience who doesn't go out, in this day and age, and seek out stories that can't be properly sold to them. Like John Dies at the End. How do you market a movie like that? It's one of those movies that people look at and think "I don't know what it is so maybe I'll catch it on cable.

Scott, you tend to play a lot in the horror field. Was that a conscious decision, or was that the field available to you to get started in? Derrickson: It was a little bit of both. I do love horror. I think in the end I'm in it because I'm good at it. Does it mean it's the kind of film I most enjoy watching? Not necessarily. I enjoy the horror genre as much as I enjoy anything else, when horror is good. But I can't say that I love it more than good action films or even good dramas. But this is what is in me. This is the kind of thing that seems to come out that I seem to understand. I think it...

FEARnet: What's the status of the film option on Dreams & Shadows?
C. Robert Cargill: Nothing as of yet. It wasn't on a lot of folks' radar because I'm still a debut writer. I think there's also that assumption, since I'm a screenwriter who has something out that was successful, that the option to it is long since taken. So people are thinking that we probably already have that in development with someone somewhere. At this point nobody's done anything with it. It is cinematic in terms of its setup?

In 2012, writers C. Robert Cargill and Scott Derrickson took an idea of Cargill’s and turned it into the movie Sinister. Under the watchful helm of director Derrickson, the film made more than six times its budget on opening weekend. By the end of the year it had grossed more than 16 times its $3,000,000 investment. They vowed to work together again. In the meantime Cargill wrote the novel Dreams & Shadows. Both gentlemen were on hand at Dark Delicacies recently for C. Robert Cargill’s book signing event. Did you start writing prose first or screenplays first? C. Robert Cargill: Prose first. Scott played a huge role in the creation of this book.

In this final part of the Karl Alexander interview, we talk about the web - good and bad. But just before going to press with this, I received an email from Karl alerting me to the fact that his latest novel, Time-Crossed Lovers, was selected as a finalist for the 2013 International Book Awards. Congrats, Karl! May it kick off another phase in your writing history. So, do you think that with both sides of the double-edged sword that is the Web, has it helped or hindered in the best interests of an author? I think writing in all different genres will hinder a young writer. I do know a couple of people who have just recently joined creative writing programs, Mfa's and such. I see exactly the same behavior that I recall when I was starting out. I think that's a mistake. Granted, you have to learn somewhere. But they're worried about character.

In the first two segments of our interview, screenwriter and novelist Karl Alexander took us through the early success of his novel turned into a hit film Time After Time and the subsequent slow down and near stagnation of his writing career afterwards. He continued to struggle to revisit that earlier achievement and eventually went back to that same time travel well for another novel or two. Had you always thought about revisiting the world of Time After Time? It hadn't played in the back of my mind because the contract I signed said that I could not write a sequel for five years. So I just kind of forgot about it. Then five years passed and I thought do I want to write a sequel? I think my thinking was I don't want to write a sequel unless I can top the idea of the first book, which for...

Almost anybody who loves sci-fi/horror books and films is familiar with the work of Karl Alexander. In 1979 his novel (with a screenplay written by Nicholas Meyer) about H. G. Wells and Jack the Ripper traveling though time and space, Time After Time, hit the big screen starring Malcolm McDowall and Mary Steenburgen. The movie was a hit and should have launched a terrific career. But why did the road turn?
My multi-part interview covers Karl's beginnings in the business right up to where he is now. He is a straight talker whose journey can open up a lot of practical doors for many of us.
What was the genesis of "Time After Time"? Was it your first novel?
First published novel, yes.
How many did you have in the cue before you finally had one published?
Three.
Over how long a period of time?
Seven years.
After three you weren't getting frustrated?...

Steve Niles has been a faithful fighter for the little guy in the word of indie publishing and films. In Part Two he wraps up his feelings on the comic industry and looks forward to his own future. A future, it seems, that he is much more able to have a hand in shaping.
The indie publisher almost can’t afford a failure. So does indie publishing actually just come down to the comic creators?
It really does, more and more. I had a nice experience when I did the Little Bloody Pulp Book. We were wondering how we were going to do direct sales. One thing that surprised us was we sold 500 copies in a minute. We put it online and Foom! 500 copies. Now had I not put a $5.00 cover price on it... We sold 2,000 over a period of time. I can’t make a living selling 2,000 through the Diamond direct market.

Author Steve Niles has been around slinging ink longer than a lot of people think. He has also seen the industry from both sides and from the corporate versus indie perspective. Since he just made another major move in his life and career in leaving Southern California behind and heading to Texas I thought it would be a good time to talk with him about his history in the publishing and film business.
When you did the Clive Barker portfolio in the late '80s / early '90s you were doing graphic novels. Were those your first graphic novels?
Those were the first ones I did, yeah. That first awful thing was "Bad Moon" followed by "Fly in my Eye". I did all of those through Arcane. Then after "Fly in my Eye" is when I got the rights to Clive's stuff. At that point I realized I was in way too deep.

What is a professional writer? Is it somebody who consistently turns out a certain quality level of writing? Is it somebody who is paid for their work? Is it a storyteller who keeps the reader enthralled as they weave their way through the imaginary scenarios and images they create on the page? Is it somebody who is a household name? If you answered yes to the above questions then you are talking about Gene O'Neill. Well, yes to all of the questions except the last one. But after 30 years he stands ready to make that one happen also. Here is part three of our interview with author Gene O'Neill.
So after 30 years in the writing world would you do something different if you were to do it again?
I don't think so. I think a lot of people look back on their lives and would like to redo them. I...

Having become a professional writer for some time since retiring from his day job Gene looks back at the path he followed and the possible opportunities he left sitting on the table when his choices were made. He realizes he could be further along, but as he stated in Part One of this interview, family is first. My feeling after spending some time with him during this interview is that friends are second with writing being the love that he feels still needs consummation.
FEARnet: Right now the publishing industry is the wild, wild west. The problem with the easier you make technology the more every Tom, Dick, and Harry can come out of the woodwork thinking they have talent. So, for you, how is full-time writing in that environment?

Author Gene O'Neill is a man with a plan. That plan is to write and get paid. He hopes that readers begin to recognize his work and seek him out. He certainly has the skill set having graduated from Clarion in a class filled with, what are now, successful writers. But he was sidetracked along the way because the one thing more important to him than writing is family. But now he is back on track and I was able to sit down with him in late 2012 at Dark Delicacies and have an extensive conversation.
One of the first things you wrote that sticks in my head was the Burden of Indigo short story in Twilight Zone Magazine in 1981. What had you done prior to that that made you think "Hey, I can write short stories"?

Mark Frost began his career writing teleplays for The Six Million Dollar Man in the mid-70's. But his climb to prominence actually happened with the 29 episodes of Hill Street Blues that he penned. From that springboard he teamed up with David Lynch and co-created one of the most iconoclastic series of the 1990s - Twin Peaks. It only ran two seasons but its approach to story-telling changed television forever. Mark sat down with me in Dark Delicacies and talked about Twin Peaks and television in general.
With it being so different from anything else on television how did you know Twin Peaks would work?
What made Twin Peaks work was that we never thought it would work. We never had the slightest expectation that they would ever want it. So we just told the executives going in, because they had called us and said they wanted the show, was...

It was interesting to me just how much the affable Mark Frost and I have in common. Well-known as a writer for the television series Hill Street Blues he is probably best known as the co-creator of Twin Peaks with David Lynch. I am not. But we were born the same year, both love tales of the fantastic and on this particular afternoon we found ourselves together in the Dark Delicacies bookstore conducting an interview. That's actually as close as I'll get to similarities.
His newest novel, The Paladin Prophecy, is book one in a dark fantasy trilogy for young adults. It's big. The New York Times Book Review stated that "Frost's consummate skill with suspense means reluctant readers should have no trouble breezing through its 547 pages." The film rights have been sold and a movie should not be long behind.
Why a trilogy?
If there is popular demand we'll keep going.

Clu Gulager has spent the majority of his life acting. Although he was born in Oklahoma, he has spent the majority of his life in front of the camera. Recently, we sat down and had a conversation about his life times as a western and horror star. This is the fourth and final installment of that conversation. The first three parts can also be found on FEARnet.com.
What changed the way that you approached your acting?
Bette Davis, I'm mentioning names because these are familiar names. I had to work with Bette Davis one time because they fired the one guy and hired me very quickly. I had to fly down there in two hours to Dallas. I tried to learn the lines and I couldn't in that length of time. Bette Davis had done her close-up the day before so she was out on the tarmac of the airfield.

Did you ever do a soap opera?
About five soap operas were written for me over my lifetime that I know about. I had to turn them all down. I said, "I can't remember those lines. It would kill me." I had to turn them all down. As I turned them down, friends of mine took the parts and within about two weeks most of them were in the hospital. That's how tough it is to go into soap operas. You have to have a phenomenal kind of memory. Jim Drury has one. Barry Sullivan had one. My wife had one. There are many people who are actors, good actors, who have photographic memories. They look at a page and it's, "Okay, let's shoot it". They are literally that fast. I can't do that. So I had to do it the hard way and it was really hard on me.

There are many things you can say to define Clu Gulager - cowboy, actor, teacher. But spend some time with the man and an overriding sense of humor permeates everything he says and does. His "Aw shucks" delivery coupled with a sense of devilry is impossible to ignore. Add that to a lifetime of stories and some book learnin' smarts, and you are in for the entire conversation. This time around we feature some of the quiet humor of Clu Gualager. Pay attention as the wisdom is sprinkled throughout. That's Clu's way.
One of the last things you did as a performer was in your son’s (John) film series of Feast?
Yeah. Literally I don't act anymore. My son has made four pictures for the Weinsteins, Bob Weinstein in particular. I've been in all of them in more or less minor roles because he wanted me to be. I didn't want to be.
