Release Day for: A GRAVESIDE GALLERY: TALES OF GHOSTS AND DARK MATTERS

 New release today: My second fiction collection!!

A GRAVESIDE GALLERY: TALES OF GHOSTS AND DARK MATTERS

A Graveside Gallery: Tales of Ghosts and Dark Matters includes nineteen strange and masterful short fiction stories in this second collection by award-winning author Eric J. Guignard. From hauntings and oblivion to monsters, murder, and anthropomorphism, A Graveside Gallery explores the literary odd and macabre that reside in the vast shadows of our existence.

Discover why Eric J. Guignard’s beautifully-voiced and disquieting work has been praised by sites such as Library Journal (“Guignard captures the depth of emotion underlying fictional terrors”) and Publishers Weekly (“high-concept and brilliant”) as well as the NY Times, CNBC News, Booklist, and more, for stories such as these:

• In “A Kingdom of Sugar Skulls and Marigolds,” a gay Hispanic teen in 1950s Los Angeles, mourning the loss of a friend, has a chance to make amends during Day of the Dead.
• In “Incident at the Red Hawk Road Stop,” the owner of a roadside trading post has a deadly secret, but so too does the customer he kills.
• In “Penny’s Diner,” a long haul trucker, coming home after an accident, stops at a curious diner.
• In “The Ascending Lights of Yu Lan,” an embittered sailor in 1917’s San Francisco Wharf encounters an immigrant from China who offers peace from ghosts.
• In “Bummin’ to the Beat of the Road,” a Beat-era youth leaves home to travel the land, only to find madness, murder, and the teeth of a new generation.
• In “Perchance to Dream in Voices of a Fiend: A Fanciful Epilogue to Frankenstein,” an intimate epilogue is suggested to the famous novel Frankenstein, offering a more hopeful closure to characters’ lives.

Those and thirteen other tales explore the fearful and nebulous boundaries of reality. Visit A Graveside Gallery by Eric J. Guignard and behold that which is captivating, startling, and darkly enriching.

Release Day for: The Collected Works of S. Mukerji

It's release day today!!!

THE COLLECTED WORKS OF S. MUKERJI: INDIAN GHOST STORIES AND THE MYSTERIOUS TRADERS

Edited and annotated by Eric J. Guignard
With Introduction by bestselling author K. Hari Kumar
Published by Dark Moon Books

###

Active only between the years 1913–1919, the enigmatic author S. Mukerji published just two works of fiction: a serialized detective thriller The Mysterious Traders and a collection of haunting tales set in British colonial India, Indian Ghost Stories.

It is Indian Ghost Stories in particular that has kept S. Mukerji’s name relevant over 100 years later for compiling spooky and weird fiction, supernatural sightings, South Asian lore, and historic accounts into a rich fusion of dark and fantastic narrative.

For as deft a hand as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle or Rudyard Kipling were at mystery, gothic, and tales of otherworldly phenomenon, S. Mukerji has left his own indelible mark in the pantheon of British Raj ghost tales.

Now, for the first time, both Indian Ghost Stories and The Mysterious Traders have been combined into one volume in this beautifully presented showcase by Dark Moon Books!

Also included within are:

• Introduction by bestselling author K. Hari Kumar
• Annotations by award-winning editor Eric J. Guignard
• Illustrations, corrected text, reading list, and more!

Open yourself to The Collected Works of S. Mukerji, and to all that is weird, ghostly, and wonderous.

A Reminisce to My Early Writing: FRIGHTMARES: A FISTFUL OF FLASH FICTION HORROR in 2011

I was chatting with an up-and-coming writer, and my Horror Writers Association mentoree, Kristal Shanahan about how it was when I started out writing horror fiction. I randomly pulled up one of my earliest acceptances and the anthology it was published in.

A 500-word story called “$2 Bust From an Estate Sale”

Here is an archive link to the Contest I submitted it to:
https://web.archive.org/web/20110714183745/http://horrorwritingcontest.com/Frightmares%20Flash%20Fiction.htm

I submitted it 3/11/2011. It was accepted 10/4/2011 and published six weeks later on 11/22/2011 (i.e. it sat in the submission queue over four times longer than the time it raced from acceptance to publication, haha)

Unless you were one of the 5 “winners,” authors were not paid anything, which was fine with me back then.

It ended up publishing in the anthology FRIGHTMARES: A FISTFUL OF FLASH FICTION HORROR.

https://www.amazon.com/Frightmares-Fistful-Flash-Fiction-Horror/dp/0983433550/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

129 stories all crammed together in this book (I think they accepted pretty much everything!)

Anyway, the subject of my reminisce: If I look through the Table of Contents, I can say that hardly any of those authors involved are still writing/publishing genre fiction now. BUT! It is incredibly fun and significant to recognize those writers who are still working at it today, writers I’ve become friends with or whose work I admire. At time of this book’s publication in late 2011, I’d not known a single person in the Table of Contents (except James S. Dorr, who I recognized from BORDERLANDS 2 anthology). But now I look through it and exclaim: “Hey, wow, there’s:

James S. Dorr
Max Booth III
Lori Michelle
Cynthia Pelayo
Kevin David Anderson
Joe Mynhardt
Greg Chapman
Stan Swanson
and a couple others…

But again of the 129 writers, most, I believe, through lack of interest, other life obligations, perhaps death, are no longer involved in the craft (though I could be wrong, as I spent zero time actually researching unfamiliar names). 12-1/2 years later = time is fleeting, indeed!

Personally, what came of that tiny, insignificant sale for me was
1) It was a confidence booster, and
2) I became friends with the editor and publisher, Stan Swanson. The press was Dark Moon Books, and I started doing more work with them, and eventually that was where I was able to print my first anthology as editor. Later the press went out of business, and I bought it, and rebranded it to my own purposes (and released all former titles back to the authors).

Anyway, nice to reminisce on these things once in a while! 😊

Announcing my second fiction collection—A GRAVESIDE GALLERY: TALES OF GHOSTS AND DARK MATTERS

 I’ve been telling people individually, but I haven’t revealed publicly, so here goes:

I’m absolutely euphoric to announce that my second fiction collection will be published next November (2024) by Cemetery Dance!

Cemetery Dance published my first collection, and I’m so happy to repeat the process with them. Those who know me, know that I LOVE horror & dark fantasy short fiction. I read it, speak about it, edit it, mentor it, publish it, and foremost write it.

This will be a reprint collection with 19 stories I’ve published prior in such venues as Blumhouse (Random House), Cemetery Dance, Cemetery Gates, etc.

To be marketed as “themes of death and oblivion, with fantasy overtones: ghosts and quiet hauntings and things in the shadows, mixed with monsters, myth, and anthropomorphism.”

Coming from Cemetery Dance in Nov. 2024: A GRAVESIDE GALLERY: TALES OF GHOSTS AND DARK MATTERS

Thank you and shout-out to acquiring editor Kevin Lucia!

(and to get in the holiday spirit, my 1st collection (THAT WHICH GROWS WILD) is still selling well at CD. I have extra print copies. For $10, I'll mail them signed to anyone in the continental USA—just message me!)

(And thanks also to Norman Prentiss who got me started here!)

ComicCon 2023 Panel!

I love being part of Writers’ panels. I’ve spoken on them (40 or 50 by now?) over the past 8 or 9 years at events all over the country. Yesterday was the first time I’d ever spoken at ComicCon, and it was totally one of the most memorable. Normally I’m on the panel with other writers who are generally similar to me, in terms of their career and/or goals. Yesterday I was on a panel for Ghostwriting, and it was a wild mix of stars from all across the cosmos of creative endeavors.

• Hunter Jackson, one of the founding members of madhouse metal band GWAR as Techno Destructo (my brother would have been so envious!)

• Nicholas Cvjetkovich, WWE wrestling superstar and promotor under the name Sinn Bodhi (Bowdee)

• Horror film actor Pat Jankiewicz

• Hypnotherapist Grant Offenberger

• Renowned sci-fi author and mega-icon of self-publishing Hugh Howey (“THE” Hugh Howey, with WOOL coming to AMC and SILO to Apple TV)

• And moderated by filmmaker and comedian Tim Chizmar

It was hilarious, insightful, and a great time, and thanks to Tim for bringing us all together!

 

Me at ComicCon 2023!

(Top row, L:R): Sinn Bodhi, Grant Offenberger, Hunter Jackson (Techno Destructo), Hugh Howey, Tim Chizmar (Bottom Row, L:R): Pat Jankiewicz, Eric J. Guignard

And thanks to me ol' friend and roommate Erik Jansen for coming out

And same for old high school friend Jaime Kauffman-Palumbo

Overview of my 2021 Writing Accomplishments

I don’t usually put together year-end wrap-ups, but I felt inspired last week, and wanted to recap what I’ve done, mostly for goal-setting/ objectives “missed-or-met” purposes, but partly, also, just to have everything listed in one place instead of several dozen separate social media posts!

In the year of 2021, this is what I did (related to writing!):

OVERVIEW

• I wrote and had published seven original short stories
• I had published four reprint short stories
• I edited and had published four volumes in the series, Haunted Library of Horror Classics (through SourceBooks)
• I edited and published through my press (Dark Moon Books) one Primer book for Ramsey Campbell (part of the Exploring Dark Short Fiction series)
• I edited and published through my press (Dark Moon Books) one themed anthology

(Plus a number of blurbs, reviews, introductions, etc. I didn’t particularly track)

And if you can’t book that cross-country flight to attend in-person, join me for a virtual event the following week, as I speak to the state of ghosts, their cultural impact, authors of note, and other discussions of the supernatural for The New York Ghost Story Festival 2021!

Hosted by acclaimed author and festival founder Daniel Braum, I’ll be in conversation along with extraordinarily talented company, notably authors and speakers Jo Kaplan and Kevin Lucia! RSVP requested for the event, scheduled: Friday, Dec, 17 at 5:00 p.m. PST!
