I’m excited about the way my neo-pulp steampunk noir story is getting some buzz.
The novella “Where the Devil Resides” came out in Alembical 4 right before the World SF Convention. Woot! It is available in print and hardcover right now, with e-book coming soon.
In a post-Civil War steampunk Florida, a minister’s teenage daughter is abducted by a band of vicious swamp rats and taken into the Everglades. To save his daughter from a fate worse than death, he must enlist the aid of an escaped slave woman, a mysterious Santeria priestess known as the Black Rose.
This is exciting by itself, but wait! There’s more!
You may recall that the screenplay adaptation of Where the Devil Resides won Best Horror/Fantasy Screenplay at the Famous Monsters Silver Scream Fest back in February.
I’m delighted to announce that the screenplay is a finalist in the Shriekfest Horror Film Festival. I’ll be going to Los Angeles for the festival (Oct. 4-7)
with my fingers crossed so hard they might become a singularity. I’ll be watching some cool new horror films and meeting other filmmakers. I’m so stoked.
Onward!
