Like most authors, I've kicked around a bit. In fact, I've been an actor, a singer, an Emmy-nominated songwriter, a recording artist in Europe, a music publisher, a VP of Carolco Pictures and worked as a free-lance Music Supervisor on films such as 'Basic Instinct' and 'Universal Soldier.' I'm currently a counselor in private practice. If memory serves, I sold my first story in 1999. I've been busy ever since. My five Mick Callahan mystery novels MEMORIAL DAY, EYE OF THE BURNING MAN, ONE OF THE WICKED, RUNNING COLD, and THE DEVIL IN THE CLOCK are all available on Kindle or in paperback. Check out my dark thriller THE PRESSURE OF DARKNESS, which has an introduction by Stoker-winner Joe McKinney, and the weird zombie novella PAIN, which features an introduction by NY Times Bestseller Jonathan Maberry. Also the novellas BITERS and ZERO AT THE BONE, both released by Journalstone. I have published dozens of short stories and written a number of screenplays, including the Lionsgate horror movie and novel DEAD AND GONE. My werewolf thriller CLAN was released on Kindle as well as in paperback. My first comic horror/thriller, a zombie opus entitled THE HUNGRY (co-written with Steven W. Booth) was quite a hit, and spawned five sequels, THE HUNGRY 2: THE WRATH OF GOD, THE HUNGRY 3: AT THE END OF THE WORLD, THE HUNGRY 4: RISE OF THE TRIAD, THE HUNGRY 5: ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE and THE HUNGRY SIX: THE RULE OF THREE. There's also a pulp novella written for an exciting Kindle/paperback series published by Amazon's own 47North. My entry was entitled THE DEAD MAN: KILL THEM ALL! If you enjoy fast-paced pulp fiction, don't miss my mystery/thriller ALL THE DEVILS, also co-written with Steven W. Booth. It features a new hero named Spider Walsh, and may be the first in a series. I'm quite proud of it. For the career curious, I've twice been nominated for the Stoker Award by the Horror Writer's Association, once for my collection A HOST OF SHADOWS, and for short fiction with NIGHT NURSE. I've won the Tombstone and the Black Quill once each, and my short story FIFTY MINUTES, co-written with Joe Donnelly, was chosen for inclusion in the prestigious anthology Best American Mysteries of 2011. I'm on the list of Major Horror Authors of the Twenty-First Century in Readers' Advisory Guide to Horror, 2nd Edition, from the American Library Association. You can find me on Facebook or Twitter. I'd love to hear from you.

All of these stories really worked within the context of the shared-world theme of Limbus Inc., save one and even that one was not bad, just not my cup o tea. (and no, I’m not going to tell you which one) Still overall, a very entertaining and well written collection with some of today’s top authors...

Oh look. Instead of nonsense I have actually written a review. This novel contains two novellas that are not connected in any way except for the fact that they both take place many years after a world changing event occurs. First up is Harry Shannon’s Biters. Now I’m not going to lie, I had some...

I received a free copy from Mr. Talley in exchange for an honest review. He's cool like that.We have two books here by two different authors in one volume:This was my first Shannon read and I've been looking forward to his stuff ever since I saw the cover art for Pain. I didn't find his story in ...

Reading this was like stumbling onto a really cool concept in a great artist's sketchbook. Yes, of course, it's rough and not entirely fleshed out, but it's still cool as shit.

The Reborn is a mesmerizing post-apocalyptic story that captivated me from the start and continues to linger well after I’ve read it. The premise of this story is that through the use of a specific strand of DNA, it has been scientifically proven that reincarnation occurs. Although this seems like i...
