These have been equal parts great fun & nerve wracking--I haven't presented/read in public for a couple decades, it's a perishable skill. Last reading for the year of our morose and beautiful anthology down in Yarmouth, Maine on September 30th at 6pm. #maine #writingcommunity #books #writers

Flyer for a reading from the Echoes in the Fog anthology. Scheduled Wednesday September 30, 2026 from 6 - 7pm at the Merrill Memorial Library in Yarmouth, Maine

I'm no Vonnegut, but I do have my own folder full of rejections. Please don't ask me to show the "accepted" folder, again, I'm no Vonnegut.

Bangor area, Bangor, Maine that is, tonight at 7 we're reading some flash fiction and hopefully having fun; I've got a couple horror pieces for the season.

$Flyer for a Flash Fiction reading on Friday 10/3 @ 7pm DOUGLAS WRIGHT writes his way into surprising fictional worlds readers never knew they craved. Genre fiction is his jam: sci-fi, horror, and weird lit. ANNALIESE JAKIMIDES makes poems, art, and stories (true and un) from her memory bank of fill-in-the-blank. Cited in national competitions, she’s published 1,000+ short works. J.D. MANKOWSKI writes a coming-of-age fantasy series, the most recent title The Stone King. He sees life through a delightfully fractured lens, always dreaming how to translate it to the page. CHRISTOPHER PACKARD is a biologist, science teacher, and riveting storyteller enmeshed in the legends of cryptids. The author of Mythical Creatures of Maine, he’s the assistant director of the International Cryptozoology Museum. The Stage Door Lounge @ The Penobscot Theatre 131 Main Street, Bangor$

I know you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover but goddamn.

Ridiculous book cover for "Old Nathan" by David Drake showcasing a bare-chested man and ape screaming at each other with a green-blood-stained knife held between them. In short a PS1 videogame cover.

#HorrorWritersChat I'm Doug. I'm still finding my sea legs with writing, been doing blog and journals for years but, finally crafting a years long story into a novel. As for the what, cosmic horror seems to draw me in. Favorite line.
