Live And Let Undead Book Trailer

Currently, the anthology is in layout/formatting. No release date yet, but I believe it will be relatively soon. In vague terms, my story concerns a janitor in a facility that makes use of zombies.

Now available. Click image to order from Amazon. If you would like to read an excerpt of my story, I Was A Teenage Zombie Apocalypse, follow this link.

Exploring the fundamentals that make up both the horror and literary genres, Frank J. Hutton delves into the very core of humanity and fear. Within these eight disturbing tales, we explore what makes the human soul tick, and what makes that part of us digress. Tattered Souls 2 will move you to new places…some that will offer a fine trickle of hope, others, not so much.

A review here...

Attack Of The 50-Foot Cover

Attack Of The 50-Foot Book has a cover. I like its over-the-top style. It seems like too many covers are abstract these days. Oh look, a shape, a shadow and a sans serif font. What's it about? That's not a problem here.

Anthologies of Interest, announces Professor Farnsworth...

Two stories for anthologies are finalized. And Then There Were One will be published in Attack of the 50-foot Book from Library of the Living Dead Press. My understanding is the book will feature stories inspired by monster movies from the 1950s, such as The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms.

In addition, Labor Relations, will be published in Library of the Living Dead Press's Live and Let Undead anthology. Stories in that book are based on a world where zombies are integrated into everyday life.

I don't have the release dates for these anthologies yet.

Mavericks vs. Heat

I'm not sure if you've heard, but the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Miami Heat. I can live with that. It's nice to see Dirk get a ring. As I watched the final game of the series, I had a feeling of deja vu. I knew I had seen this drama play out somewhere before. Then I remembered Dirk's little known role in the Antonia Banderas' movie, The 13th Warrior (back when he was shorter), which actually served as a symbolic prophecy for his eventual defeat of the Miami Heat, here having their team color represented by a tall red head...

What Happens When Cobra Engineers Make A Lateral Move In Their Career?

Now we know...

In other news — short stories, short stories, short stories, that's what I've been working on. I revised two for some upcoming anthologies to be announced at a later date. I'm also working on a couple of others for possible anthologies. I've been sticking with anthologies lately because I like the specific requests editors make for submissions. They don't want "horror," which can cover a broad range of subjective subjects. Rather, they want stuff like "giant rats attack sorority," or something to that effect.

Tattered Souls 2

The cover for the Tattered Souls 2 anthology is out. The book will be available August 1. Cutting Block Press is hosting a pre-launch party at the World Horror Convention in Austin, Texas. The event will be held April 30. Location: convention party suite. Time: 10 p.m.

My story, I Was A Teenage Zombie Apocalypse, is part of the anthology. I came up with the idea by listening to people discuss post-apocalyptic worlds with what sounded like faint hopes they might happen. I don't think they actually wished the planet to take such turns. Rather, a common facination with surviving in a world full of stuff seems to exist. Like one could go to Fort Knox, make a chair of gold bars to sit in while playing video games and subsist entirely on looted candy bars.

I took the position that things regularly fail to go smoothly in the real world, so why would that dynamic be any different in a post-apocalyptic world?
