Death Drives a Buick: Top Horror Cars

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 13:09:01 -0700

Ah, the American love affair with the car ... well, you know, before that whole "let's take billions and billions of our tax dollars and give them to a private, for-profit enterprise" thing. Bitchin' cars and movies have always gone hand in hand, but nowhere is that cozy courtship more apparent than in horror flicks. Here's my pick for the Top 10 cars in horror movies.

My #1 will stun you, and then, you will agree with me. No question!

Top 10 Parasite Horror Movies

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 13:03:44 -0700

Sure you know ALIEN and THE THING are in the list of top horror movies, and they have parasite,s but where do they fall on the FDO™'s list? Why, yes, I do consider myself to be an expert on the topic, courtesy of the research I did for INFECTED and CONTAGIOUS.I dedicate this post to Carl Zimmer, author of one of my favorite non-fiction books, PARASITE REX: Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures.

TITLE FIGHT: Round One

Sun, 26 Apr 2009 07:24:48 -0700

Here is a brand-new short fiction novella, recorded live at Mysterious Galaxy bookstore in San Diego and Book Soup in Los Angeles. This is a sports/scifi story co-written with Matt Wallace (the most dangerous man in podcast fiction). We think we're the first to combine far-future aliens and hardcore MMA action. And if we're not the first, best to just say we are, or I'll sic Wallace on your punk ass. I do Round One, then Matt will provide Round Two with his character, and we'll trade off until the blood-splattering main event in the octagon of the far future. Enjoy!

The Oscars go to Hell (again)

Mon, 02 Mar 2009 11:19:46 -0800

Once again the Oscars have come and gone. Once again, towering golden golems, faceless and evil, threatened the select few who live and die by the words, "Who was she wearing?" But if you could tune out the endless commentary around the Oscar ceremony and the parade of gowns, you would have again noticed the lack of horror representation.

Junkies, a quick video message as I'm autographing craploads of CONTAGIOUS copies. A little bit of a recon trip the Evil Queen™ and I took to prepare for the Sigler Ascension. Granted, there is no place in the world that is safe (except for a Denny's, of course), but this place comes close.

Sun, 07 Dec 2008 20:24:46 -0800

The fight aboard the Jeremiah O'Brien continues. The explosion of Dragonbreath is the visual cue that ties our storylines together -- Bryan, Pookie, Dimitri, Lanza, Firstborn, Rex and Sly. Bryan is badly wounded, but he fights on, hoping that if he can't kill Rex, at least he can distract the Nocturnals long enough for Pookie to find Chief Zou's daughters. But Pookie has his hands full down below, going face-to-face with the deadly, dog-faced Pierre. The Huey full of gunmen closes in, just as Nick Murray delivers his bag o' guns to Dimitri. It's party time ...

LONG-WIND WARNING:
Between Scott's rants and a long "story so far" by J.C. Hutchins (a noted enemy of Siglerism), there's about eight minutes of intro in this bad boy. Hey, you got 57 minutes of story, so as Richard Pryor once said, have a Coke and a smile and shut the fuck up.

NOCTURNAL Episode #1 PDF

Fri, 14 Dec 2007 07:07:52 -0800

Junkies, use this to spread the Gospel of Siglerism. This PDF will let you get non-techies hooked on the story. They can read it on their computer and use the big-honkin' play button to hear my wonderful voice, or you can print it and hand it to them. Either way, it gives me a chance to hook them with the beginning of the story.

Also, there is an AWESOME explanation of Podcasting on the last two pages. Hell, even the King of the TechTards™ (a.k.a. "Scott Sigler") could understand podcasting after reading this puppy.

And as for Pookie? Well, he's just Pookie.
