Can Horror Fiction Fight Illiteracy?
I don’t need to tell you that people are reading less and less these days.
One poll reveals how one-quarter of American adults haven’t read a single book in the last year. Another survey finds that only seventeen percent of thirteen-year-olds read for fun every day, with three in ten saying they either never or hardly ever do so. Even more shocking is the fact that men make up only twenty percent of all fiction sales in the US, UK, and Canada!

Why I Sold My Soul To Nozama, The Dark One
This post is a combination of three things:
1. An announcement of my forthcoming horror short story collection, WHERE THE SHADOWS ARE SHOWN, due out in September through my own small press, Josh’s Worst Nightmare.
2. Rationalization of publishing the book through Amazon (who, from this point on, will be called Nozama, the Dark One).
3. Confession of succumbing to the lesser of two evils.
Why I’m Self-Publishing My Next Book
I bet you think I’m about to trash traditional publishers here, eviscerating everyone from the “Big Four” to indie presses. Sorry to disappoint you ghouls, but that’s not what this piece is about.
