Online launch: The Measure of Sorrow

Online launch: The Measure of Sorrow

in conversation with John Langan

Big thanks to everyone who rocked up to the virtual launch of The Measure of Sorrow, hosted by Meerkat Press last weekend. For those who couldn’t make it (or you hardcore types committed to watching the “Director’s cut”), here’s the full-length unexpurgated conversation, including Ohio, Kafka, black lakes, book burning, famous dead people, deep-fried platypi, Tina Turner, passing references to the collection, and big-ups to other people’s awesome books. Hope you can check it out!

Huge thanks to John for being a great host, an irrepressible conversationalist, and an all-round stand-up guy. If you’ve not yet read his latest collection – Corpsemouth and other Autobiographies – I insist you rectify that immediately. 

 

StokerCon 2021

StokerCon 2021

readings, panels, and a cat makes its debut…

I had such high hopes for getting to real-life cons this year, but COVID put paid to all of them. Though I would have loved to connect with more people in person, I had a blast at StokerCon 2021, which had an exceptional line-up of great content. I read a (freakishly beardless) extract from Ariadne, I Love You, and Kaaron Warren, Aaron Dries. and I launched the pilot of our new podcast, Let The Cat In. Check out the videos below.

InCONceivable – horror panel, critters and more…

Very excited to have joined a host of fantastic Aussie authors at InCONceivable, the new online con. A virtual convention where you can shop all your favourite local artists and pop culture merchandise without leaving your home? ….As you wish!

I joined guests Alan Baxter, A.K. Wilder, Traci Harding, Aiki Flinthart, Candice Michelle Goodwin, K.E Fraser, Juliet Marillier, Matt J. Pike and Kylie Chan as we recalled some of our more inconceivable Australian critter experiences. My story’s below…

 

Later, I got to hang with host Alan Baxter, and my good buddies Robert Hood and Aaron Dries to shoot the proverbial about Aussie horror. As it was pitched by the con: “The Aussie Author Horror Show panel features some of the biggest horror fiction talents in Australia discussing their work. It’s nice guys talking about very bad things!”

Cute. But truly, it was great to get to hang with this lot, deep in the disconsolate bowels of the pandemic.
