The Electric Wonderland — The Official Hollywood Vampires Site

If you’re in the Peoria area and a fan of the Hollywood Vampires — or independent fiction in general — be sure to stop by the main branch of the Peoria Public Library this Saturday between 1 and 4 pm! The Library is hosting its 2012 Author Fair, where myself and 19 other local authors [...]

Well, it finally happened! After publishing my own unique brand of vampire fiction for almost 11 years now, my local paper — the Canton Daily Ledger — has done an article on myself and the Hollywood Vampires at long last, whoo hoo!  Not only that, but I was on the cover of the Spotlight section, [...]

It’s time once again for the monthly Drunken Zombie Deadly Double Feature, which returns to the Landmark Theatre in Peoria, Illinois on April 7th!  And this month, you’ll have a chance to win a signed copy of either Unholy War or Pathway To Darkness… The April Double Feature is focused on not one, but TWO [...]

There’s something I’ve always wondered about vampire fiction, and while I’m going to throw out my own thoughts on it, I REALLY want some feedback on this, as it’s something I’m genuinely curious about.  Specifically… What’s so hot about cold vampires? Traditionally — particularly in Anne Rice’s take on vampires and more recently in True [...]

I recently caught the trailer for Tim Burton’s upcoming Dark Shadows film — starring Johnny Depp, of course — and while I have to admit I’m not very familiar with the old Dark Shadows TV show, I have to say… I think this could be fun. I’ve heard groans from some quarters concerning the humor [...]

If you were listening in on my appearance on Darkest Radio last night, you would’ve heard — in between all the clowning around and general tomfoolery — that in honor of my return to Shadowbrook, I’m offering ALL FIVE of the “main” Hollywood Vampires books at either reduced prices or am giving them away COMPLETELY [...]

Yes, I know I should’ve had this up last week, but damn if I haven’t been busy!  I promised a picture of a gorilla hawking copies of the Hollywood Vampires’ first two books, and here ’tis!  How often do you get to see vampire fiction mixed with simians? (You loyalists will remember Stacey’s citing of [...]

It’s been almost a year since my last appearance on Darkest Radio, and this Sunday (March 18th) I’ll be making my return to the greatest radio show going today! Be sure to tune in from 11pm to 1am Central Standard time at DarkestJack.com to stream the episode live… don’t miss it!  Darkest Jack and I [...]

While publishing the Hollywood Vampires books is my primary focus when it comes to writing,  off-the-wall vampire fiction isn’t the ONLY thing I write.  At the moment, I’m shopping around a hard-edged, gruesome, horror book with tinges of dark satiric humor entitled Snatcher to potential publishers — those of you on the Hollywood Vampires mailing [...]

The whole “Christina Hendricks As Clarisse” post went over so well with everybody — and actually draws a nice little bit of web traffic — so I decided to revisit something I posted on my Twitter feed last year, proposing that Mila Kunis would be well-suited to portray Donita in a live-action Hollywood Vampires movie.
