The Electric Wonderland — The Official Hollywood Vampires Site

This Saturday (November 10th) I’ll be doing a book signing at Stone Alley Books & Collectibles in Galesburg, Illinois! I’ll be there from 1 to 3 along with fellow local author Clinton Boomer, signing and selling all five Hollywood Vampires books. I haven’t been to this particular book store before, but have been meaning to [...]

This weekend (November 2nd and 3rd) is the 5th annual Drunken Zombie International Film Festival, a grand showcase for independent short films and feature-lengths, and a celebration of rampant creativity from people who truly love movies!  Most of the really good movies I saw last year were at the Drunken Zombie Film Festival, including the [...]

Long time, no see, eh? Been busy on a few things which I’ll be letting you in on soon, but in the meantime, I’ve got something for you… Today, as part of Drunken Zombie’s 31 Days Of Halloween, I’m offering the creepy, kooky tale of a Halloween gone apeshit… “It’s A Wicked Night, Wade!” for [...]

It’s going to be a busy day this Saturday (June 23rd) for myself and the Hollywood Vampires, when I’ll be doing TWO book signings in one day!  And it’s going to be a hot day, too, so things could start to get really interesting after I’ve been out in the sun for a while… Plus, [...]

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 [...]
