Meta: A death in the family.

All good things must come to an end, Screamers and Screamettes. It is with a heavy heart that I announce that sidebar-icon and gay-horror info site Camp Blood seems to have called it a night. Good luck and Godspeed, you noble purveyor of all things queer and horrific!

As a tribute, here's the just shy of 10-minute teaser for Camp Blood, the slasher musical. Fright fans, the cheese factor on this little clip is just shy of "epic." (For those still at work, watch out for suggested sex, dirty language, and garden tool related death.)

Stuff: Monsters out of the closet?

Here's one of the cooler horror sites I've stumbled across in my young, but storied and thrilling, un-career as an un-professional horror blogger.

Punningly titled Camp Blood, this site is a one-stop source for those interested in all things queer and horrific (well, maybe not all things – I couldn't find any mention of Mary Cheney's book on the site). Reviews, news, and other features; all written in an insightful and often funny voice that deserves attention regardless of how you may (or may not, as the sad case may be) get your bad groove thing on.

If you’re a horror fan, it is well worth a visit.

Contest Update

We now have a three horse race for ANTSS's first ever contest: the horror haiku whoopjamboreewho!

Never has the Internet seen such a battle of literary titans! This is why poetry was invented!

And there's still time to get in on the action! It is still anybody's game!

And the winner – besides becoming the toast of the intellectual elite – will get not one, not two, but THREE, that's right THREE, as in the magic number, horror novels free of charge! I won't even charge you shipping.

What are you waiting for? Go clicky on the linky and read the embarrassingly simple contest rules. Then go haiku the crap out of the competition and claim your prize already. Your books await.
