I was fortunate enough to interview him in 2006. GDT is always considered and thoughtful; he speaks so warmly about horror and has a deep understanding of the genre in various mediums. I love his commentaries too. He's staunch antifa in his art.

They did! I'm very slowly incorporating it into rotation. It's taking me some warming. I loved Brown Acid Test though.

Huge Puppy fan here. Also Tear Garden, Download, Plateau, Ogre, Cyberaktif, and Key's solo work. 🖤

To say nothing of poor service as a loss leader.

No idea what the exchange was about, but... 😂

And also, there's an article about the Yeats/Crowley incident in The Green Book.

How about just "jerks".

Here's a bit more, just in case:

"You're missing out on a future success. And don't forget that those who are rejected the most are often the ones who praise the most in the end. Have a good day. And if you write to me again, I'll only respond if you have a proposal for me."

How should I be obliged to sound? Here's an extract from the email I received:

"Dear Editor, I write for the people, not for the squeaky-clean editors (mere transmitters of other people's work). Don't forget that you're also competing for my novels. Thank you for your time."

Sad part is, I get this more often than you'd think...

Emailed.

I didn't read their proposal. The introductory level told me I would be "scared shitless", which doesn't really describe the sort of thing we publish as we recognise horror in a broader and more nuanced way. That, and we're closed to submissions, which this writer would have seen when researching.

And if you'd like to order your very own copy of this magnificent monograph, you can do so here: calquepress.com/products/pre...

It's so solid, interesting, and fun! I'll bet it plays well to festival audiences.
