Hey there and welcome, all of you Infected people, here's the latest posting with details of where you can get your regular fix of the dark side of life! HA, HA, HA.

First up this week -

I recommend you head over to 'Masters of Horror' where like-minded people hang out and "..get together, learn what's around out there and to improve and advertise their work."

Lee Pletzers, a New Zealand based writer, was involved in setting the site up and I must say what a sterling job he has did. If you look around the site you it's about "all things horror and sci-fi and inbetween."

Sign up and enjoy the benefits of people who think like you, write like you and read the same stuff as you! And if you join up then add me as a friend!

Second thing this week is some great sites where you can read and listen to horror stories -

The guys at the ShadowCast site give you your horror fix in the podcast form. And if you don't know what a podcast is, then jeez, get with the times! SNM Horror have a tagline - "If you build a mausoleum...the dead will come". Some of the stories on this site are downright creepy but I still recommend you check it out. And lastly, 69 Flavors of Paranoia have deep, dark stories about things that go bump in the night, love-scorned revenge and patriotic paranoia.

Have a look around these sites and feed your addiction. Keep your veins throbbing with the tales you find on these sites!

Next up this week -

You should have a read of the works by Jeremy C Shipp who "...is a weird author of Bizarro, horror, dark fantasy and magic realism." If you can get your head around some of his stuff, then you be rewarded! The man lives in a moderately haunted farmhouse and has an obsession with attic clowns and yard gnomes. Told you he was weird!


If you have read this this post and liked any of my suggestions then be sure to tell them where you got the recommendation. And if you would be so kind to leave a comment at the bottom of this post, then that would be great!

In the meantime, Followers of the Infected Legion, come back for more next week! Oh, and check out the other posts on my Journal.

Thanks for reading.

Stay Alive and see ya back here next week!

P.s. I know it's Saturday and I'm late with this post...sorry!
