Appearances: Hemingway Days — “Voices, Places, Inspirations,”– literary readings on July 19th, Key West, FL
Next week, I’m heading down to the Southernmost part of the US to participate in the 37th annual Hemingway Days! There are a lot of events throughout the week, and I am excited to be part of Wednesday’s evening readings alongside some of Florida’s best!

Last Call for WANDERING SPIRITS: Traveling Mary Shelley’s FRANKENSTEIN
Today is the last call on WANDERING SPIRITS: TRAVELING MARY SHELLEY’S FRANKENSTEIN, my limited-edition travelogue chapbook from Tallhat Press. If you’ve been on the fence about buying this, now’s your last chance. I can’t believe it’s been 9 months since Yves Tourigny swooped in and made my idle wish a beautifully illustrated reality. Many thanks to him, and…

The Curse of Frankenstein, Updates, and Other Frankenphilia
Last Thursday, my good friend, vintage movie expert, bomb writer, and teratologist Orrin Grey inducted me into the wiles of the Hammer Frankenstein films. I’ve never seen them, and so what a better way to celebrate #Frankenstein200 than live-tweeting the experience. It was loads of fun, and we storified the experience here. In addition to…

Now Available: WANDERING SPIRITS: TRAVELING MARY SHELLEY’S FRANKENSTEIN (the chapbook!)
Although Frankenstein was published in 1818, fans are getting a head start on celebrating the novel’s bicentennial starting this week.

Steampunk Hands Around the World 2016: Reflections on my favorite aspect of Steampunk
One of my favorite things about Steampunk is how it has persevered and evolved since I entered its realm five years ago, when The Steampunk Bible came out May 2011. Immediately after that book came out, there were fears that the movement was about to jump the shark as it swam towards mainstream acceptance, but…
