Two Stories Coming Soon in Doc Talos Magazine!

 

Two of my stories will be appearing in the upcoming issues of Doc Talos Magazine, the official magazine of R. Paul Sardanas' Doc Talos adult pulp pastiche series! #11 will reprint my story "Forest Spirits," which first appeared in the anthology Mona (centering on the Talos Chronicle's pastiche of Princess Monja from the Doc Savage pulps). The story sees Mona return to her native Guatemala, where she has a shocking encounter with the king of the trees himself, Lord Grersoun.

#12 will feature my new story, "Bacchanal," wherein Rickie Talos (the Talos Saga's incarnation of Pat Savage) attends the explosive drive-in premiere of the world's first gore-centric horror movie, Blood Feast. "Bacchanal" pays homage to Blood Feast's cultural impact in more ways than one, by also looking at its unofficial sequels and remakes like Mardi Gras Massacre and Blood Diner.

Many thanks to Mr. Sardanas for including my work in the fabulous world of Doc Talos!

Charity Boost

 

 

One of the writing forums I'm on was having a discussion of the various charitable causes members contribute to or try to promote. Please consider donating to the Trevor Project, which provides 24/7 counseling and crisis support for LGBTQ+ youth. Government attacks against LGBTQ+ youth, especially transgender kids, have spiked this year all over the world. In the U.S., the Trump administration ended the LGBTQ+-specific extension for 988, the national crisis hotline, so hotlines like these need support now more than ever. You can check out ways to help or get help yourself at:
