DARK DISCUSSIONS on THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE; Corpse herself on SHADOW NATION
Today is the Blu-Ray/DVD release date for the terrifying surprise hit The Autopsy of Jane Doe–if you saw this on VOD and loved it as much as I did, now’s the time to add it to your collection! Dark Discussions looks at symbols and more in the film on Episode 268, which you can listen to here: http://www.darkdiscussions.com/Pages/podcast_268.html

On Shadow Nation (formerly The Ghostman & Demon Hunter Show), Shaun and Nathan kept a stiff upper lip as they interviewed the film’s corpse, played by Olwen Catherine Kelly. You can give that a listen here: http://shadownation.com/autopsy-jane-doe-olwen-catherine-kelly/
March Movie Madness: The Omega Man: Not Quite Bad Enough To Smash With A Hammer by Chris Duryea #MarchMovieMadness #Movies #OmegaMan @chduryea
This is a FANTASTIC analysis of one of my favorite movies of all time! Right on!
March Movie Madness: Jaws 3-D by Kristi Peterson Schoonover #MarchMovieMadness #movies #sharks #3D @KPSchoonover
#4 in the March Movie Madness series (kinda cool…the #4 in the Shinto religion is a symbol of death)…JAWS 3-D!!
Here’s a little spooky story I found…
Just in time for the Ides of March, here’s a little real-life spooky tale I found by Howard Mittelmark, author of Age of Consent (definitely get this novel if you like ghost stories!) and How Not to Write a Novel.
I get a charge out of these real-life shorts; I think each of us has probably had something inexplicable happen to us. Stuff like this is where ghost stories come from.

It’s Episode 3! Yes, people, I’m still working on my entry. If Jennifer Allis Provost runs out of space by the time it’s done, I’ll run it here on my blog. Although…I’m hoping to get this baby out the door today.
INK STAINS January 2018 issue shaping up!
A disintegrating stove in an abandoned Geology lab in Massachusetts in 2010.
I’m happy to announce that the Table of Contents for the anthology I’m guest editing—Ink Stains January 2018—is coming together nicely!
Before exploring the submissions box, I acquired two stories by dear friends that I’d read years ago and never forgotten (both pieces were not intended for publication; they were part of theses, so fortunately for me the rights were still available!). One more—a poem, actually, which will serve as the preface—came along by default, and I have feelers out for another piece, but I won’t know if that’s going to come through for a few weeks, probably. I’ll talk about these in another post.
For now, I’d like to announce that contracts have been signed to publish Read the rest of this entry
DARK DISCUSSIONS gets classical with 1963’s JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS
A little ways back, Dark Discussions ran a contest in its Facebook group — what movies from the past would listeners like to hear us cover? One of the winners (it was a tie) was 1963’s Jason and the Argonauts.
Since it seems like Hollywood has figured out (finally, and we’re not complaining!) that horror films do well in the winter months, we’ve had so many new releases to cover we haven’t had time to get to either of our winners. We got lucky when logistics hung us up for a week, so we decided a trip down memory lane (and into the dusty annals of our brains to see what we remember about the myths we read in high school) would be the perfect fill-in.
The best part of Jason, of course, is the fantastic monsters created by Ray Harryhausen. One of the images that haunted my childhood was Talos awakening.

Short Story Sunday: The Harvest, Amy Hempel
The Harvest, Amy Hempel
It’s always nice to know someone is reading the blog, especially when I find out he’s passionate about the short story! Recently, I got an email from Mark, who passed on the name of a short story I might like—Amy Hempel’s “The Harvest.”
He couldn’t have been more right.
As a writer, I’ve always been fascinated by the story behind the story—what inspired this particular piece? I consider each of my fictions to be a slice of my life: it was always inspired by something real. What Read the rest of this entry
