COMING SOON —  and Don wrote that new original, longer than usual Carmilla story.

 

 

One of Don’s favorite duties as Associate Editor of both Vampiress Carmilla and Shudder magazines is the proof-reading, checking for misspellings, grammatical errors, even plot holes in stories. Don has asked editor Rich Sala not to tell him what stories of mine are in an upcoming issue. Finding out for himself when the proofs arrive is, for him, a lot of fun. Don was happy to see 4 of his stories, counting usual usual Carmilla one-pager, the others being “Scare Trade,” “The Unwrappable Mummy Brown” and “Hell No Dolly” in issue #8. Here are atists Benito Gallego’s splash page for “Scare” and Nik Poliwko’s (text not yet added) for “Unwrappable.”

 

Out now … with Don’s only Dracula story written for that company, an original “Solomon Kane” tale first published in Savage Sword of Conan magazine. 

 

 

Again, Don was a guest on …
