Author Robert Dubar At noon on Saturday, November 8, 2008, Robert Dunbar to appear at Monmouth County Library in Manalapan, New Jersey

At noon on Saturday, November 8, 2008, Robert Dunbar (author of THE PINES from Leisure Books) will appear at the Monmouth County Library in Manalapan, New Jersey to address a meeting of the Garden State Horror Writers. He will give a talk entitled “Real Lore/True Fiction.”

Dunbar – who has two novels being published in the next few months as well as a collection of short stories – has based much of his work on indigenous American myths. Real Lore/True Fiction will address the social and psychological realities underlying many cherished legends … and the art of using them to craft meaningful contemporary literature.

Jeremy Shipp's Sheep and Wolves available for pre-order

Jeremy C. Shipp's short story collection, SHEEP AND WOLVES, is now available for pre-order via Raw Dog Screaming Press (www.rawdogscreaming.com/sheep.html). The pre-order bundle comes with a DVD copy of EGG (http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=25076212), the short film written by Shipp.

An excerpt of S&W can be read in the newest issue of The Dream People
(http://www.dharlanwilson.com/dreampeople/issue30/novelexcerptship.html), and another story from the collection can be read here (http://www.jeremycshipp.com/camp.htm)

In other news, Caleb J. Ross recently delved deep into Shipp's dark disturbing skull, and the resulting interview is called Almost Every Aspect of Civilization Horrifies Me (http://calebjross.com/2008/10/12/almost-every-aspect-of-civilization-horrifies-me-an-interview-with-author-jeremy-c-shipp/)

Jeremy C. Shipp is an author whose written creations inhabit various magazines, anthologies, and drawers. These include over 40 publications, the likes of Cemetery Dance, ChiZine, and The Bizarro Starter Kit (blue). While preparing for the forthcoming collapse of civilization, Jeremy enjoys living in Southern California in a moderately haunted Victorian farmhouse with his wife, Lisa, and their legion of yard gnomes. Heʼs currently working on many stories and novels and is losing his hair, though not because of the ghosts. Sheep and Wolves is his first published collection, and his debut novel is called Vacation. Feel free to visit his online home at www.jeremycshipp.com, but beware the robotic parsnips and rabid coconut monkeys.
