I thoroughly enjoyed this anthology of poetry written to a faux mass murder news story. The voices of recognizable and lesser known writers sang of the victim’s demise in poetic voices beautifully varied. The wonderful mix of poetry told a sinister/sweet/wickedly funny/poignant side of the dark faceted diamond called Death In Common.
--Linda Addison, award-winning author of Consumed, Reduced to Beautiful Grey Ashes.
For the connoisseur of the morbid, opening Death in Common will be akin to sorting through a delightfully gore-soaked Whitman’s Sampler of sweetmeats, discovering wicked flavors with each new bite. From Rich Ristow’s fascinatingly ghoulish concept spills a full cornucopia of horrors, from Marge Simon’s dark elegance to the gruesome poetic justice of Wrath James White, from Kurt Newton’s blood-black comedy to Christopher Conlon’s unsettling poignancy, from Louise Bohmer’s sensual brutality to the beautiful despair of Barry Napier’s finale.
-- Mike Allen, three time Rhysling Award winning poet and editor of Mythic Delirium.

Many people have emailed me the last few days and expressed great support for my decision. It is truly heartwarming to find out how many friends you have when you face a difficult decision. To people like Deb Kuhn Jodi Lee, Jerrod Balzer, Michele Lee, Karen Koehler, S.D Hintz, Rich Ristow, Christine Morgan and many more I say a big thank you. I don’t know why you like me so much, why you’re so kind to me, but I certainly appreciate it more than I can communicate to you all.
Anyway, after approximately 2.5 years as the editor in chief of Lachesis Publishing, I chose to give my resignation on June 15, 2009. I negotiated a buy out of my existing editing contracts, and as a part of that buy out I asked to have my contract to publish THE BLACK ACT cancelled and have all rights returned to me. Carole Spencer agreed to my terms, and I am happy to say THE BLACK ACT will be republished by Library of Horror, and imprint of Library of the Living Dead Press.
I’ll be freelance editing full time now, and much of that editing time will be spent with Library of the Living Dead / Library of Horror. You’ll notice big changes coming to my Editing page on Esoteric Writings.
I’ve learned a great deal over my time spent with Lachesis, and I’ve enjoyed my employment there. All things must come to an end, though, and it’s time I concentrated on my writing more. In terms of my writer side, you’ll see a series coming from some publisher who release whatever the f**k they want, Gypsy Wagon (which doesn’t have a home yet), and Naughty Nurse Nellie’s Strange Night Shift coming in Tabloid Terrors 3. And, of course, the re-release of THE BLACK ACT from Library of Horror Press. So, if you want a rare first edition from Lachesis, better grab one soon! I’ll be editing TBA a bit, applying a few tweaks, before I re-release it with Mikal.
You can also find my poetry upcoming in Death in Common 1 & 2, and I’m happy to say that thanks to Mr. Rich Ristow’s acceptance of Cravings & Dust—my poem for DIC 2—I’ll qualify for Active status in the Horror Writers Association come 2010. So, as you can see, I’ll be focusing much more on the horror and dark fiction genres, both in my writing and editing, from now on.

I just wanted to tell you, I am doing a book review for The Devil's Food anthology, and I have to say; I was so impressed with how well written the introduction was that I went over to your site, followed the links and bought a print version of The Black Act; only to discover it is all about one of my favorite subjects ever! The Faeries and witches and all those fun people, creatures? Whatever- I love the subject and practice myself as well. Too awesome.
I can not wait to receive your book. Best of luck to you, and great success!
Most Sincerely;
Kerry Morgan

While he recovers in Germany, Kern gets caught up in a plot by a cult of ghouls to resurrect a medieval Prussian torturer. With the help of his newly found second sight and those around him—a fawning nurse, a concerned priest, a drunken fellow soldier, and a transsexual alchemist—John tries to thwart the fiendish plan and its creator, the necrophiliac leader of the cult, Kursk Mosnar.
Does Battlin’ John Kern possess the strength to face what steps out from the gates of Hell?
A story of horror, twisted lives, sacrifice, and heroism, TORMENTOR reaches deep into the soul and forces one to face their fears and overcome them.

The nursery became her rightful nest, and she took over full-time care of their offspring. Sometimes, Garrett would press his ear against the wall and listen to the old lullabies she sang.
Olivia couldn’t handle their odd situation. After six months of staring at a crib filled with an abomination, that should have held her own, impossible newborn, she had cracked. Tearfully, she’d confessed her aversion to the child he and the bitch Goddess shared.
“Feeding it.” Stopping, she had sniffed hard and wiped the tears from her soft, apple-round face. The misery had ravaged her innocent beauty. “My God, Garrett, you have no idea. Those teeth … its eyes.”
“His eyes, Olivia. He’s not a monster. Don’t refer to him as one.”
“Then what the hell is he? Explain it to me, Garrett. Explain to me why I can’t have a child, but she—that thing—can?” He had wished for answers, all the ones she had needed, but none had come to him. “I don’t know, baby. Life just doesn’t make sense sometimes.”
His indecision, his addiction to an arcane deity, had cost him his marriage.
“She wasn’t right for you anyway.” Lilith had told him when he’d come to the nursery after the fight, threatening to slit his wrists and asking why he had to carry such heavy burdens.
She was right, of course, and he knew it. A wise demoness never questioned the intangibles, they already knew the outcome. Olivia had been an unsuitable partner for him. She lived in a world of science and reason—a dedicated geneticist. Garrett lived in the realm of the esoteric, as a successful medium and tarot reader.
Perhaps it was this lifelong love of the supernatural that had first drawn her, the moon-white, winged lady, to him? He had his suspicions, but, as with all things concerning the Netherworld, proof was amorphous.
He took a step onto the thick, blue carpet. Lilith turned and smiled at him; her emerald eyes flickered once, like a cat caught in a dark room.
“Why tonight?” Garrett noticed the babe wrapped tightly in her silken feathers, and he walked closer to mother and child.
“Sometimes it’s best not to know why.” Reaching out, she stroked the tip of his long, thin nose with a snowy talon. “In their dark quarters, alone, some secrets should lie. Humans are a far too curious race.”
“You sound like a play.” He buried his hands in the front pockets of his jeans and sighed.
“That should suit your old world heart.” She smiled and wiped some pearly spittle from their owl child’s chin.
Weary, he scratched at his scalp, covered by a thick thatch of mahogany curls. “I’m tired of dramatics. Being unique grows old after awhile.”
“Don’t be angry. You knew how this arrangement would turn out.” Her silver-tipped wing stretched out and stroked his bare arm.
He brushed away her offered olive branch. “Yes, I knew. But I was caught up in your glamour.”
“That’s a pitiful excuse, Garrett.” She laughed, coyly, mocking his truth with her feigned innocence. “You know affairs with the Divine always end in eternal heartbreak.”
“How do I know that?” He wasn’t being impudent; his curiosity was genuine. Odd thoughts filled his head at all times, and he often wondered who they really belonged to.
Lilith shrugged, and stroked the soft down on their infant’s neck as she burped it. “Perhaps you were a god once, in another life?”
He scoffed at this, and ran his palm over the fluffy feathers that covered his son’s head. He would soon shed these and fine, raven hair would grow in. Garrett swallowed over the hollowness that crawled up from his chest, into his throat. He would miss many milestones and transformations in his child’s otherworld life.
“Why would I be here now if that were the case?” He took a deep gulp of fresh, night air coming in the open window, and held it for a moment as he savored the clean taste. “Stuck in this shitty, mundane life?”
Lilith leaned forward and kissed his forehead. Before she straightened, she whispered; “Even gods can fall. This could be penance, my love.”
“I don’t want to ponder my past incarnations.” He waved away her time wasting philosophy with a peevish hand. “I,” his voice cracked, and the first drops of misery dripped onto his cheek, “don’t want to lose him.”
“I know,” her tone held a hint of true compassion, “but this must end a certain way, Garrett, as all things do.”
His lips grew tight and thin, and his face ached with the tension. “You never speak straight.” The words came out louder than he expected, filling the room with a sharp echo that made him jump.
He grabbed onto the baby’s arm and stared, determined, into her preternatural eyes. “I won’t let you take him.”
Lilith chuckled, and stroked his cheek with a soft, smooth thumb. The lack of texture in her skin made him shiver.
“You know you have no choice.” A sweet, singsong under-rhythm now leaked into her words.
Garrett closed his eyes and let the caress of her fingers on his face lull him into a trance. “Then let me come with you.” His bones melted as he leaned into her. She put a hand against his chest, and her cool touch seeped through his heated skin, touching his heart.
“You can’t, darling. Not this time.”
He wondered about those last three words, and the innuendo that slipped with them from her lips. But he didn’t care about the past, not right now. Keeping his boy on this side of the Veil was his only concern, for the moment.
“Let me keep him, please?” His begging shamed him some, but he was desperate, and frightened by the solitude that would follow their departure.
“And how would you raise him?” Gently, she pushed him back. His eyes snapped open, and her spell dissipated. “How do you suppose mortal children will react to our son?”
She held the child up and outward, so he faced Garrett. His heart ached as he took in the fluffy, ivory chest, heaving in a deep, content sleep. The infant’s hard, fleshy beak drooped open, and a bit of drool crept down his mouth. The protruding, bony lips, Lilith had told him, would recede with maturity. He’d be a fine, handsome demigod one day.
Again, he knew she was right. The omnipotent were rarely wrong. How could he raise a mythological offspring? The boy belonged with his mother, beyond Garrett’s reach.
“Will I ever see him again?” His voice was husky with early grief.
She shook her head; her face remained impassive. “I cannot speak for eternity.”
He chewed on his bottom lip, and looked from mother to son. His hand drifted behind him, to the waistband of his jeans where he had tucked a small revolver.
“Then,” his fist clenched around its short, cold stock, “I can’t let you take the part of him that holds me.” He slipped the gun out of his pants and brought it up to his temple.
“Nooo …” Lilith gripped the babe close to her breast with one massive, clawed hand and swooped down on him. “He needs you alive. You are his key between here and there. My key as well, Garrett. DON’T … YOU … DARE.”
Her talons touched his chest, and he staggered back from her. “I’m sorry. I can’t live with the emptiness to come. I renege on our deal.”
He tilted the gun backward against his temple, so the bullet would rip deep through his brain, closed his eyes, and pulled the trigger.
Lilith’s shrieks died with him.

Taken from Ben Bussey's blog. Important NIGHTBREED information!
I'm a huge fan of the movie NIGHTBREED, directed by Clive Barker and adapted from his novella Cabal. Some folks might not care for it, but I find the film visually stunning. It's still one of my all time favorite horror films.
News comes from Ben Bussey of the possibilty of a director's cut! A new Nightbreed with lost footage! Here's what we fans of Nightbreed must do to make it happen.
From Ben's blog:
'Nightbreed' director's cut? YOU can make it happen...
From http://clivebarker.info/morenightbreed.h
when's the third Book of the Art coming out? and
will there be a director's cut of Nightbreed?
Midnight Writer
By Carnell, Fangoria, Issue 284, June 2009
"On one call I was transferred to a production executive. You already know what I told him, so let me tell you what he told me: He Can Access The Lost Nightbreed Footage At Any Time.
"My jaw dropped. Struggling to remember my already limited vocabulary, I asked what had to happen in order for the footage to see the light of day. He explained to me that someone, namely one of the higher ups, had to have a good reason to pull it out of storage. I, having that good reason, nodded and thanked him. He couldn't have been a nicer guy.
"Excited, I pictured myself walking through large dusty warehouses filled from floor to ceiling with ancient reels of arcane footage. I’m sorry to report, that's not what happened.
"Shortly after, one of said higher ups was gracious enough to give me a moment of his time. I was shocked when he told me there wasn't a big enough audience for the film and that the answer to my request must be no.
'Not even worth the cost to upgrade to Blu-ray,' he said.
"Ouch."
Nightbreed
Correspondence from Mark Miller to Phil and Sarah Stokes at Revelations, 26 May 2009
"1. The footage is not lost; it's in waiting.
"2. The only thing standing between us and the director’s cut of Nightbreed is - good news - its already loyal audience...
"It ain't cheap to restore and release a movie. Let's show the powers-that-be that it's worth their while, shall we?"

Christine Morgan Reviews THE BLACK ACT
Many thanks to Christine Morgan for reviewing The Black Act for Horror Fiction Review. You can check out the full review here:
http://www.freewebs.com/hfrzine/june09re
And here is a snippet:
"Lavishly written with a splendid touch for description, the story proves to be a nesting doll layer effect nicely handled through visions and flashbacks. Done wrong, this can be tedious. Done right, as it is here, it’s a treat to read.
The depiction of the various fae beings is by far the most phenomenal aspect of the story. They are utterly inhuman, hideous in their beauty and beautiful in their hideousness, unearthly but earthen, bizarre and just plain cool. The Black Act is excellent stuff. Hopefully the first not just of a series, but the revival and reinterpretation of an entire mythos. Definite thumbs up!"

May Contests Number 3 & 4

Back Cover:
Is it a mark of insanity when your life turns into a faerie tale? Or is it a sign of awakening? And how do you tell the difference?
Jessica Kendall thinks she is fleeing a nightmare, when she impulsively trades her promising but mundane career at a California university for the isolation of a tiny farming village in south-central Germany. She soon discovers, however, that it is not quite so easy to run away from a dream.
There is something odd about her stern but grandmotherly new landlady, Frau Totmüller, and something even odder—and more wonderful—about the old woman’s handsome, successful son. Drawn to the enigmatic Hermann, despite her fears and misgivings, Jessica soon finds herself immersed in a world of magic, ancient artifacts, and unimaginable power that seems to have been waiting for her all her life.

Claire, a distraught young Wise Woman born in the sacred valley of the fae, unwittingly helps it escape imprisonment.

With her scribe teacher, Rosalind, she also struggles to uncover the reasons behind Claire's strange behavior, ever escalating since the death of their Guild Mother, Grianne.

She's a true professional."
