Saturday, July 4th, 2009First, I was pointed to this, which calls Necropolis “a solid, haunting story that is worth reading”, but at the same time decides the cemetery is in New Orleans. For the record: it is not in New Orleans.
There’s also this, slightly longer, which calls Necropolis “an extended prose poem masquerading as a horror novella” and […]
The Great Big Sell Out
Wednesday, May 6th, 2009It’s official: Bad Moon Books has sold its last copy of House of Shadow and Ash. Now, if you don’t mind helping me out here, I’d like to wipe them out entirely. They’ve still got a handful of Wings of the Butterfly that shouldn’t take long to deplete, and Necropolis has already sold more than […]
Necropolis In My Flesh
Thursday, April 16th, 2009In the great city of the dead, gravestones and mausoleums seem to go on forever in every direction.

“How…how’d you get in?”
“I…” She didn’t know. “I just did. Get me out!”
“It’s locked.” She didn’t hear him doing anything, just his voice, but he must’ve been right outside pulling on latches and knobs Jill couldn’t see. “I’ll…I’ll go find someone. A caretaker. They’ve got to have a key.”
“Hurry.”
Silence. Jill continued […]
Random Bits of Necropolis #7
Thursday, March 26th, 2009“You’ve contradicted yourself,” the man said. “Wishing for one thing, wishing for another. There was a king once, in some medieval land, a boy king who ascended at far too early an age. He built his kingdom upon wishes. Whims. Fancy. He erected palaces unsurpassed in the history of imagination. He amassed treasures and wonders […]
Random Bits of Necropolis #6
Wednesday, March 25th, 2009At first, he thought it was a trick of the shadows. A reflection of something beyond his field of vision. He wouldn’t go so far as to call it a delusion. After a moment, he decided it was definitely real. “Anna,” he said. “Look.”
She did. He heard her gasp.
In the middle of the field, where […]
Random Bits of Necropolis #5
Sunday, March 15th, 2009There were no dates here, only family names, flowers, chains on one iron gate, marble doors with engravings showing the countenance of saints, rosary beads and candles and snapshots hanging by any means present. It almost felt like a city, except no one sat on the stoop and, to be perfectly honest, no one would […]
