“Finished TOOTH AND NAIL and THE INFECTION as my first two zombie books ever, and I have to say they are going up there in my favorite all-time apocalyptic reads. I’m now hooked … Great job man, excited for the new stuff!” – Jared Orley
Thanks, Jared!
Jonny Berg of SwedishZombie.com, which recently generously reviewed THE INFECTION here (scroll down for English translation), interviewed me about my zombie novels TOOTH AND NAIL and THE INFECTION, and what makes the deranged mind of a horror novelist tick. It was a fun interview, especially since Jonny Berg is so dedicated to the genre and meticulous about his questions, and I hope you’ll check it out. Most of the site is in Swedish (the country that is giving us the awesome Zone 61) but a lot of new content, including this interview, is in English.

An old buddy of mine took pity after hearing me cry about breaking my Kindle and has decided to donate his old Kindle to help me satisfy my ongoing reading addiction. He was already cool. Now he is the coolest. Guy. Ever.
Thanks, Brian!
I broke my Kindle and I’m thinking about getting the Kobo, which offers a touch screen interface, fairly good eBook availability in my adopted land of Canada, and a decent price of $139. Have you tried the Kobo? What do you think of it? Has anybody heard when Amazon will catch up to Nook and Kobo and offer touch interface?
On Friday, I published a description of Milgram’s Experiment, which showed that many people will do bad things if ordered to do so by a credible authority figure. In the comments, somebody brought up a film called THE EXPERIMENT, which is actually based on the Stanford Experiment. In this experiment, study participants role played as guards and prisoners. The two-week experiment ended after only six days because the guards became sadistic and the prisoners became severely depressed.
