Vampyricon Video Vixens

Years ago, as a thank-you to his loyal fans, Douglas Clegg wrote the first book of a trilogy he'd long been wanting to write and got it specially printed as a collector's item without a bar code or ISBN. It was completely off the radar. It did have a terrific cover by Caniglia.

Douglas Clegg also said that there were no plans to reprint the book in another format. No promises it would ever be available in anything but the limited print run hardcover format.

Years later we are now awaiting the third book in the trilogy. The Priest of Blood did go on to a wide market hardcover and then paperback printing as was the second book The Lady of Serpents. Now the final book The Queen of the Wolves is about to be published. My wait is almost over.

I'm one of those people who loves to have the trilogy assembled so that I can read them all at once. My limited-print Caniglia-covered The Priest of Blood sits on my shelf of honor waiting for me to get my hands on the last book -- waiting for me to pull it down, open its cover and turn to the first page. Once upon a time . . .

Douglas Clegg asked that we bloggers make this video clip available. It's cool. I enjoyed it and I think you will too.

Interim Thematic Book Lists are Here

One of the most powerful tools I had on the older versions of . . . With Intent to Commit Horror was the thematic booklists. Now they’re back.

The books no longer link up to the Barnes and Noble website but the information is still good and the book cover images still show. I plan to overhaul these lists and update them soon but in the meantime feel free to check them out. Maybe you’ll come away with a list of new (to you) horror books to read.

And so the Madness Begins . . .

I ported the new look of . . . With Intent to Commit Horror from a testing subdirectory to the front lines. Next up is transferring all the old pages into the new look. That's hundreds of pages -- a lot of work for one person -- but the end product will be so worth it. In the meantime, I'll do the best I can to keep the booklists that haven't been transferred available to you. It means a lot of the website will retain its old black and red look and the links to Barnes and Noble will be broken. The information, however, will still be good.

Besides changing the look of the website, I'll also be pulling out the material on graphic novels and Ohio authors. Horror graphic novels and Ohio authors who write horror will remain. The rest of the material will hopefully find a new website after . . . With Intent to Commit Horror is finished.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
