Archive for the ‘Raising Stony Mayhall’ Category

Audible.com released their Best of 2011 List, and Raising Stony Mayhall is their Best Zombie Book of the year.  (Audible didn’t make a category for horror, but they did for zombies — which just goes to show you, those living dead guys will take over everything.) My thanks to everyone who downloaded and rated the […]


The Library Journal just released their Top 10 Science Fiction and Fantasy books for 2011, and Raising Stony Mayhall made the list, along with books by some other guys. (This kid George RR Martin is supposed to be pretty good, I hear.) Back in July, LJ gave Stony a starred review — but my Google […]

Stony Mayhall emerges as a unique character, defined by the […]

I wrote an article called Anti-Horror: A Modest Proposal for Yet Another Subgenre. It semi-seriously proposes a new branch of fantasy called anti-horror (which I’ve of course placed […]


Hi, folks. My third novel, Raising Stony Mayhall, will be out in stores on June 28. The book is my skewed take on the zombie genre, featuring a kid who thinks he’s the last living dead boy in the world. Publisher’s Weekly just gave it a starred review and named it their Pick of the […]


Over on Goodreads.com, we’re giving away 20 copies of Raising Stony Mayhall. It’s been up for a day, and we have (as of the moment I type this) 170 172 people signed up. (I need to publish this quick.) ( 5/22/11 udpate: We’re up to 420 people, with 9 days to go…) But even if […]
