I Never Update This!

Yeah, I'm terrible about updating this thing.

As you probably know, HE DIGS A HOLE was released. You can get it here.

For the rest of 2018: I have a few upcoming anthology publications coming up, as well as a few scheduled readings. And my next novel, IMPOSSIBLE JAMES, comes out sometime in the earlier part of 2019.

I'm gonna keep this blog around, basically just to archive my stuff, but if you want real updates, follow me on Facebook -or better yet- Twitter, where I post all the time.

Seeeee ya around!

New Upcoming Novel! And My First Acting Job!

You read the title to this post. We're not burying the lead here. I HAVE A NEW NOVEL COMING OUT hot off the heels of my last one, I Will Rot Without You. The new book is called PUPPET SKIN and as you can see from that picture, the amazing Katie McCann once again did my cover art. Here the description from the back cover:

Hannah graduates from middle school on Friday. That is the day she transforms into a living puppet, like her parents and teachers before her. No longer a human girl made of flesh and feelings, but a perfect wooden NEW self, whose strings lead up from her limbs to an endless black void above. With no pain. No sorrow. No sickness. No fear.

But Hannah has begun to suspect something is very, very wrong. And in a world where emotion is treated like a disease, and unknown terrors lurk inside everyone, just keeping your soul alive past childhood might be the greatest challenge of all.

"Puppet Skin is a dark, grotesquely-beautiful Bizarro nightmare fable for alienated teens of all ages. If you've ever felt lost in this deranged universe, Danger's book knows exactly what you mean." - John Skipp, author of THE LIGHT AT THE END and THE ART OF HORRIBLE PEOPLE

ARCs are available RIGHT NOW so if you are a blogger or reviewer (or know a reviewer) hit me up at danger_slater@yahoo.com and we'll see what we can do about getting you a copy.

The book releases this July, from Fungasm Press.

And if that wasn't enough...THERE'S MORE!

I have a small cameo in Anti-Films new movie THE WOLF AND THE BABY, a weird horror-comedy-thriller-I-don't-know-what-to-call-it. The whole movie is available to watch RIGHT NOW, FOR FREE on YouTube:

YOU CAN WATCH IT RIGHT HERE BY CLICKING THIS LINK!

The Anti-Films guys are great. They even gave me a speaking role which officially puts me on IMDb! Plus they're fans of my books. HOW FREAKIN' COOL IS THAT?

So please enjoy the film. Especially since it's free.

Thanks!

Danger.

I WILL ROT WITHOUT YOU is OUT NOW!!!!

Guess what?!

My new novel I WILL ROT WITHOUT YOU is out now. Available on Amazon and other fine places.

From the back cover:

WHEN THE WORLD FALL APART AND YOUR BODY STARTS TO ROT, LET THE ROACHES LEAD.

Meet Ernie. His life is a mess. Gretchen's gone, and the apartment they once shared in this grey, grim city is now overrun with intelligent mold and sinister bugs.

Then his neighbor Dee shows up, so smart and lovely. If he can just get past the fact that her jealous ex-boyfriend can reach out of her blouse and punch him in the face at any moment, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship.

Unfortunately for all involved, a Great Storm is coming and it will wash away everything we've ever known about the human heart.

"I WILL ROT WITHOUT YOU is like Cronenberg's THE FLY if it had been directed by Frank Zappa and Bruce Bickford. Nightmarishly rich in vision, absurdly and painfully hilarious, sorrowfully poignant, and bristling with outrageous surprises that never ever ever stop coming till it's done." - John Skipp, from his introduction

BUY! BUY! BUY! BUY!

Also, I did Frank Edler's new podcast Bizzong! where I talked about the process of writing this book. You can find that on iTunes, Stitcher, or at the link I'm providing below:

Bizzong! episode 1

Also, also, the Fungasm Press website is now up, where you can pick up copies of ROT, see links to some of my stuff, and check out what the other Fungasm writers are up to. Good books, good people.

CHECK IT OUT

That's it.

Love you all,

Danger

A Performance and an Anthology and and the Official Release Date for my Upcoming Novel!

Man, I'm not very creative with this post title, am I?

1. Tomorrow Dec. 4th you can watch me read at the Old Gilbert Road Tavern in Portland, OR for the inaugural show of the Gilbert Road Grotesque Variety Show. Hosted by Garrett Cook and Alicia Graves, it'll feature performances by yours truly along with other bizarro authors and comedians like G Arthur Brown and Karl Fischer. It'll be fun times, if you can make it.

COME SEE THE GILBERT ROAD GROTESQUE!

2. My story 'A Robot's Sonnet' will be reprinted in the 2015 Jersey Devil Press Anthology celebrating 6 years of my favorite online lit-mag. This was one of my all-time favorite pieces of short fiction and this book looks to be JAM PACKED with good writers.

PICK UP A COPY OF THE 2015 JERSEY DEVIL PRESS ANTHOLOGY!

3. The release date for my upcoming Fungasm Press novel I WILL ROT WITHOUT YOU has been pushed back to February 8th, 2016. This is because we're trying to BUILD SOME PRESS before the book comes Out. So as John Skipp works his promotional magic from behind the scenes, I'm gonna pubically call on all of you fine people. IF you write for a publication (or know someone who does) AND you want a copy of the book for review: I'LL HOOK YOU UP. If you or someone you know runs a blog or a webpage or a podcast and would be interested in interviewing me or lettme me guest post: I'D BE DOWN FOR THAT TOO!

CONTACT ME HERE!

That's all for now.

Bye kids,

Danger.

Appearances!

Come find me at BizarroCon (Nov. 5th-8th) and we can drink a beer named after my upcoming book I WILL ROT WITHOUT YOU:

I will be reading/performing a selection from I WILL ROT WITHOUT YOU on Friday night at the Eraserhead Press party. I will also be on a panel on Saturday as well as performing (again) in the Ultimate Bizarro Showdown on Saturday night, in addition to having my co-authored book STRANGER DANGER (momentarily out-of-print) up for a Wonderland Award! Full schedule of events here. It's going to be quite a weekend. And attendees will be the first people to be able to score copies of I WILL ROT WITHOUT YOU because they will be on sale at the convention only until their official release date on Dec. 1st.

AND SPEAKING OF APPEARANCES:

Come see me read/perform AGAIN the following weekend at LIVING DEAD HORROR CONVENTION (Nov. 13th-15th). This is going to be a GREAT TIME at Portland's first celebrity horror convention. Check out the event page if you don't believe me. Besides reading, I will be working/hanging out at the convention all weekend and helping my buddy (who organized this event) Deanna keep things running smoothly. JOIN US, WON'T YOU?

Both these things are happening here in Portland. Get your ass on a plane. Come hang out!

Love,

Danger
