Happy Horror Day!!
And to celebrate, I've got a nice juicy prize just right for the celebration. Read on!
My fellow Shockliners already know the dark joy, but for those of you yet to visit the vast cyber-aisles of THE greatest online bookstore for horror lovers, you're in for a treat AND I'm going to make it worth your while to have a little visit. Again, read on!
A little background: Matt Schwartz, the owner of Shocklines.com, would never admit it, but he has been responsible for launching and supporting the careers of innumerable horror writers (mine included!), and for being a major outlet for the small press horror industry. His bookstore and his amazing Shocklines Forum provide a hub for professional and aspiring writers, fans and publishers around the world to share industry news, friendship, support and all things horror genre related. I can't imagine what would happen to small press horror publishing if we lost Matt's Shocklines. So, in honor of "Your One-Stop Shop for Horror", I give you the Shocklines Rocks Horror Day Contest!
