Me in Cemetery Dance

So my short story “The Town Suicide” is in the current issue (#65) of Cemetery Dance: The Magazine of Horror and Suspense. It’s about a town where everyone decides to commit suicide. And also love. It’s mostly about love. And people killing themselves.

I just got my contributor copies. I can’t tell you how long I’ve wanted to have a story in a magazine with a cover like that. I think my teenage self would explode if he knew. Not to mention being in a magazine with an interview with Ray Bradbury and where Peter Straub is writing about the horror genre and much of the issue is dedicated to Graham Masterton. Plus my friend David Bell (author most recently of Cemetery Girl) has a great story.
