Image Latest postPublicApologies.The questionnaire regarding reading and book-buying habits was only allowing one response per person, and I'm looking for a work around. It's obviously useless to me if you can answer only one question or check only one option out of the ten offered. This is, in part, in response to our sales plummeting in the Dreaming Sundries Shop midway through 2024. Thank you for you patience.
Yesterday at Aug 16 crawl 0 likes 5 commentsTylosaurus! (Or, now for something completely different.)View post So, not a reading this time. Currently, serious dental problems are making speaking for long periods of time very difficult. The periods of time required for reading fiction aloud, for example. Hopefully, this helps a tiny bit to make up for the missing readings (I do hope to have one up before the end of August). A few moments from yesterday in the paleontology lab at McWane Science Center here in Birmingham, where I'm a research associate. That other side of me, the scientist, not the fantasist (though anyone who reads my fiction knows that my fiction draws constantly my scientific training). By the way, you may have read about a new species, Tylosaurus rex, in the press recentlArticleyesterday at Aug 16 crawlPublic 0 0"Gethesmane" UpdateWe've settled on the final cover design for the new Dancy Flammarion chapbook, Gethsemane, art by ever amazing and longtime Dancy illustrator Ted Naifeh. The cover will will be a wraparound dust jacket. Myself, I am very pleased withe the results. I'll let you know as soon as the book can be preordered from Subterranean Press, as it is likely to sell out prior to publication.ImageAugust 8Public 0 7The Wearable Imp Has Arrived!At long last, the first set of t-shirts inspired by my novel The Drowning Girl have launched!

At least to me. But, here's the news. We are now within mere days of opening orders on the first three designs (see photos below), two based on The Drowning Girl and one that's all Spooky's doing (Felis nerdus). And we hope to add designs for The Red Tree and the Dancy Flammarion stories before too long. There's going to be a wide selection of colors, a wide selection of sizes, and more than a single brand of shirt and weight of fabric. Everyone should be happy. The shirts are being produced by Printful, and we are very pleased with the quality of the samples we've bArticleJuly 18Public 0 1"Gethesmane" art preview (thank you, Ted!)June 30 View post The final artwork for the new Dancy Flammarion novella, courtesy us ever awesome Ted Naifeh, has been delivered to Subterranean Press. I've been told I can give you a little taste, so, taste away. I'm very pleased with how this one's turned out, as we see Dancy (and a new ally) face off with an ancient, eldritch horror that has taken refuge in a decaying alligator farm on the Florida-Georgia state line (a setting I've wanted to use for years, but have only just gotten around to taking advantage off).ImageJune 30Public 0 2Coming Soon!June 24 View post Sirenia Digest 237 will be released in July, and with it subscribers will have access to a downloadable PDF version of The Dreaming #56 (January 2001), my Bram Stoker Award nominated story, "The First Adventure of Miss Catterina Poe." This black-and-white version is taken from the original page proofs, before they were colored, and which I much prefer (I have rarely been happy with colorists). Drawn by Steve Leialoha, it is my favorite of all my work on The Dreaming. And, of course, SD 237 will also include new fiction. COMING SOON! .ArticleJune 24Public 0 2The Drowning Girl: The Trailer (flashback)June 16 View post Filmed by Kyle Cassidy and Brian Siano in November 2011 at locations all around Rhode Island and released in March 2012, I'm still very fond of this, fifteen years down the road. Shot in only a single weekend on a budget of roughly $4k, following a very successful Kickstarter campaign, the whole thing was a marvelous experience. Well, it's easy for me to say that. I got to stay (mostly) dry. The actresses who played Eva Canning and India "Imp" Phelps had to contend with a torrential downpour, the freezing Blackstone River and Block Island Sound ("Eva") and a surprisingly harrowing bathtub shoot ("Imp"). It was exhausting, and I reArticleJune 16Public 0 0The Wearable ImpKathryn and I are designed three t-shirts, two based on The Drowning Girl, one on The Red Tree. Well, actually, this is mostly Kathryn's baby, as she's the one with the graphics chops. Below is a prototype of one design. Anyway, we will keep you posted. Details TBA!ArticleJune 15Public 0 3Best of 18!Once again, a story from Sirenia Digest has been chosen for a "year's best of" volume, this time legendary editor Ellen Datlow's The Year's Best Horror Volume Eighteen. The story is "Pale Rollers," from Sirenia Digest 232. Just wanted to say a quick thank you to all the subscribers, without whom I couldn't keep writing these tales. ~ CRKArticleJune 10Public 0 3Announcement: Masters of the WeirdJune 6 View post I have begun work with Centipede Press on a new entry to their Masters of the Weird series. If you are unfamiliar with the amazing, gorgeous books, just follow this link. Masters of the Weird: Caitlín R. Kiernan will be a two-volume set edited by S.T. Joshi, a retrospective covering some thirty years of my writing career. I'm extremely excited about this project. Twice before I have worked with Centipede Press, first on the a deluxe edition of The Drowning Girl: A Memoir (2014) and a second time on the original edition of Houses Under the Sea: Mythos Tales (2018). Both times the results have been incredibly beautiful books. Be sure that I'ArticleJune 6Public 0 4
