501 Tue March 15 2011 - 04:53:53 Fullname: Steve Y Email: Comments: Dallas, a few years ago I came on and asked if I had gotten the ending of "Megan's Law" right, as it implied something very dark, and you said yes that I had read it correctly. Now a friend of mine is reading the KINGDOM collection and told me he read this same story. I brought up the ending, as in, "wow, what a shocker, huh"?, etc. And he took the ending at face value, and did not interpret it as anything dark. I suppose the ending can be taken ambiguously, though that does not seem the intent, since the context of the narrator's words rationalizes that he is doing nothing wrong. The critical reading of the verb "comfort" is the key. I suppose it is up to the reader to make their own interpretation even if my friend is "wrong" on this one. Anyway, any thoughts on this? Also, when might a new collection be in the works? Later. 502 Mon March 14 2011 - 23:00:44 Fullname: Jassen Bailey Email: thebagadthecrow@hotmail.com Comments: Jack, I just wanted to pop by and see if you'd be interested in donating anything for a giveway I am having.

They got fed an hour early...GAIL -- happy to say that HIDE AND SEEK's been optioned, as has THE PASSENGER (optioned by Lucky.) WINTER CHILD's a longish short story which appears in the Leisure edition of OFF SEASON, continuing the story of those pesky cannibals. CHRISTOPHER -- glad you liked THE WOMAN. Bet you like the movie too! M BROWN -- glad you found me, and thank you. ALYSON -- THE WOMAN, LADIES' NIGHT and BOOK OF SOULS -- quite a diverse group! There will definitely be more to come of the harder-to-find titles. I'll keep you guys posted...best, D. 508 Fri March 11 2011 - 18:12:55 Fullname: Alyson Email: Comments: We got a Kindle for Christmas so I christened it with THE WOMAN, LADIES' NIGHT, and BOOK OF SOULS. I loved THE WOMAN -- it's like a violent fable, a cautionary examination of the nuclear family as well as the eternal struggle between men and women. LADIES' NIGHT and BOOK OF SOULS let me experience some of your lesser known work. I'm slowly making my way through your entire repertoire. To that end, I hope you'll be releasing more of the hard-to-find titles in e-book format. 509 Fri March 11 2011 - 02:29:05 Fullname: M Brown Email: Dragonfish603@hotmail.com Comments: I have only begun to read your stories; I now have a new vein to plunge into, thankfully you've written so many! I have read many of the same authors listed as your influences, and was not surprised, as the literacy of your writng shines with skill and dedication. You have a great insight into the human experience of survival, mentally and physically, at great odds; of the resilence, and ulitmate good of most people. < I cannot say all, because as we know there are number who are not>. Also, the cats...the often silent, always generous, vigilant, keepers of our peace. Thank you for your time, and thank you for the stories, I have enjoyed the begining of this journey, and look forward to it's continuation.

Rednecks with enormous dicks, a kinky carnival, a sweet blonde with no teeth and hands for feet, and...H.P. Lovecraft. Only Lee can pull this stuff off! JOHN -- SPIT's worth seeing again. Holds up very well. Glad you liked it too, GAIL. ELI -- you're right, RED was a case of Lucky vs. the money guys. Guess who pretty much always wins? Leisure are remaindering all their mass-market titles, which is why you found my stuff at the bin at Wal-Mart. Everybody's got a Wal-Mart, right? So all of you out there, pounce! Cheap horror! MARC, MEAGHAN. I'll e-mail you...

Got a new UWS watering hole? Love to stop by, sit in, have a drink and listen. Ever know where Matt the bartender ended up? Haven't heard from him in years.

That just made my day! 523 Thu March 03 2011 - 15:26:39 Fullname: Eli Wells Email: thecaffeinejunke@aol.com Comments: After reading Red I truly apprieciate the subtle Horror of the whole thing. I then watched the movie which was awesome as well,Brian cox was Pitch perfect. I couldn't help but wonder what happened with Lucky Mckee that resulted in his early departure? He is a capable and great director, MAY was creepy. You are collaborating with him again so it wasn't a issue with you. I can only assume that it was some sort of conflict with the producers. What the hell happened? I am truly excited for THE WOMAN and eagerly anticipating it's release. I expect that it will be fantastic because as always you knock 'em dead! 524 Tue March 01 2011 - 13:08:09 Fullname: John Email: Comments: I first saw the original "I Spit..." about 25 years ago. And it stunned me...gave me that disturbing "unclean" feeling that I have dubbed "That GUMMO feeling". I could not shake it for weeks. I loved it. AND to this dy I can vividly recall the entire film, in my mid, and have never watched more than the initial time...so I think THAT is a testament, in and of itself...as to how powerful a film it is. 525 Tue March 01 2011 - 07:10:49 Fullname: Ketchum Email: Comments: Sorry JIMBO, but I can't answer either of these questions. I won't pick my favorite child and there are too many wonderful books which have influenced and charmed me along the way to pick even a dozen. Keep reading! Read 'em all!
