More later...best, D. 202 Thu August 02 2012 - 23:36:03 Fullname: Fedy Email: Comments: Hi Dallas, guess what? I have just ordered "I am Not Sam", signed edition of course, from Cemetery Dance. I can't wait for it to get here... my birthday is in a couple of weeks, so I have made that an early/late present for myself. :) Nothing could have been better than this. I haven't even read what it is about, so confident I am it will be as good as any of your other works. Surprise! Aaron, I have created this petition to have Dallas invited over to Australia as a Facebook page. This is the address if you wish to like it and share it, we are not many but I am advertising it everywhere I can so hopefully we will get there... Thanks for your support in advance!! http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Lets-invite-Jack-Ketchum-to-Australia/453052991372058 Cheers 203 Thu August 02 2012 - 22:33:13 Fullname: Aaron Dries Email: aaron.w.dries@gmail.com Comments: Hi Dallas! I can't tell you what a thrill it was this morning to read about the release of "I'M NOT SAM", written by yourself and Lucky McKee. I still think "THE WOMAN" is one of the best pieces of fiction I've read, in any genre, over the past few years. It left me stunned. I cannot wait to get my hands on this new collaboration. All the best, Aaron Dries. PS- Anyone who creates a petition to get Dallas to Australia will gladly get a signature from me -- and a standing ovation. Rock on. 204 Mon July 30 2012 - 22:49:20 Fullname: Fedy Email: Comments: Hi Bob!! Thanks SO much, I'll send you an email right away. Cos you are right Ian, here in Australia there is absolutely no chance of finding any of Dallas' books anywhere and believe me I have tried... So I got all online, aside from She Wakes, which was doomed from the very beginning: every time I ordered it got lost or such... But I really wanna read it, it's the very last piece of Dallas' work I haven't got and so,again, thanks Bob! Said that guys, if you want, I have a facebook page called "Let's invite Jack ketchum to Australia" up and running, if you feel like supporting the cause (cos you don't necessarily have to be in Oz to agree lol), please hit like!! Again, all's very appreciated!! 205 Mon July 30 2012 - 22:21:20 Fullname: Bob Hinton Email: peteboiler@hotmail.com Comments: Fedy, my apologies! You were who I meant to respond to! I have the book, so if you want it, hit me up. Actually, don't worry about the $5 shipping. I will just get it on its way. And Dallas, safe to say we kind of dig you, too. Bob 206 Mon July 30 2012 - 07:19:18 Fullname: ian Email: Comments: I already have a paperback copy of She Wakes, but it's one of the only Ketchum books I haven't read yet. Right now it's buried in a random box after a recent move. Ketchum books are hard enough to find in America, so I'm sure overseas it's even harder, you have my sympathies. 207 Mon July 30 2012 - 04:46:55 Fullname: Fedy Email: Comments: Hi guys, wasn't it me who was looking for She Wakes? :P Unless Ian wants a copy too... Bob, thanks for the offer, I am based in Oz, would it be ok anyway for you to send it? If so I'll follow with an email Cheers 208 Sun July 29 2012 - 23:21:15 Fullname: Ketchum Email: Comments: Hey all...IAN -- BLACK WATER's a great recommendation. Liked it a lot. The Aussies get it right very, very often. REEF is on my Netflix list. I'll see it soon. TIMOTHY -- Congrats, man. Many more! BOB -- very fine of you to help Ian out with SHE WAKES. We're working on getting all these back titles in print again, so stay tuned. But it's appreciated that in the interim, you guys are into sharing. Know what? I like my readers...best, D. 209 Sat July 28 2012 - 10:37:16 Fullname: Bob Hinton Email: peteboiler@hotmail.com Comments: Ian, I have an extra S/L of She Wakes if you want it. Just pay, say $5 for shipping and it will be on its way. Shoot me an email. Thanks. Bob 210 Mon July 23 2012 - 01:54:51 Fullname: Fedy Email: Comments: Hi all, I watched The Reef on Friday night, and indeed it was terrifying!!! And if you think that it is based on a true story, even scarier… Nice suggestion Ian, thanks a lot! Will check out these other titles too… 211 Sun July 22 2012 - 17:14:29 Fullname: Timothy McGivney Email: Comments: Hey Jack, I'd like to thank you for being an inspiration to me. My second book has just been published and I feel like maybe the first one wasn't a fluke after all. I had always wanted to write a book, but it wasn't until after I read Off Season that I thought, maybe I actually could write one. Off Season is the only book I've ever read that made me jealous--that I hadn't written it myself. I think you are the fucking best and hope to meet you in person one day. All the best, Tim, xooxxo 212 Sat July 21 2012 - 04:35:23 Fullname: ian Email: Comments: If you guys like The Reef, you should also check out Black Water, which is directed by the same guy. It's also a low budget Australian monster movie about a killer crocodile. Both movies cleverly cut in footage of the real thing in action, which makes things a lot more realistic and scary. Another recent shark movie that really surprised me was Shark Night. It's not really scary, but it's really entertaining with some good plot twists and interesting characters. It's a lot better than the trailers and title would suggest. 213 Thu July 19 2012 - 23:47:25 Fullname: Fedy Email: Comments: Dallas, bad news, CD says it's out of print... :( 214 Thu July 19 2012 - 23:15:42 Fullname: Fedy Email: Comments: Hi Jack, I simply ordered them off Amazon, as I always do (or Gauntlet if they have it) and have never had an issue. Aside for this book. But I'll check CD, if they still print it, I'll get it... Thanks Ian, as far as I know the search for both the shark and the body has been called off. As per the latest: "Although the hunt for the shark was called off, local police and volunteers are expected to continue to comb beaches for the young man's remains, which have yet to be recovered, while beaches in the immediate area will remain closed for at least two days." And thanks so much for suggesting "The Reef", I think it may be a perfect Friday night movie tonight :) I love shark movies too so good to know! I will let you know my thoughts on it! 215 Thu July 19 2012 - 16:13:07 Fullname: Ketchum Email: Comments: Real quick, since I'm leaving for NECON in a few minutes...FEDY -- where are you ordering SHE WAKES from? Dorchester/Leisure are defunct. But the CD hardcover should still be in print. IAN -- liked the first season of WALKING DEAD a lot, haven't seen the second. I'll check out THE REEF. Love a good shark movie...Best, D. 216 Thu July 19 2012 - 02:19:25 Fullname: ian Email: Comments: Hey Fedy, I know you're from Australia so I wanted to know if you'd heard about that surfer that just got bit in half by a great white near Perth? Did they find the shark yet? There's a really good recent Australian shark movie called The Reef, which is supposedly based on a true story. Scariest shark movie since Jaws. Anyone who hasn't seen it needs to see it. 217 Thu July 19 2012 - 02:08:10 Fullname: ian Email: Comments: Hey Jack, i wish that blood on the beach festival wasn't all the way over in Virginia. I'd love to meet you and my future wife Holly Marie Combs in person. Are you a fan of The Walking Dead at all, either the show or comics? I'd love to see an episode written by you. I saw Laurie Holden and Jon Bernthanal at the Seattle Comiccon a couple months ago. 218 Mon July 16 2012 - 13:37:47 Fullname: Gail Gowland Email: Comments: Hi Jack, I just purchased Horror For Good - I'm sure I'll enjoy it for my vacation . 219 Mon July 16 2012 - 01:59:06 Fullname: Fedy (again!!) Email: Comments: Ps is there any curse around "She wakes" that you know of? It's the only book of yours I don't have, since I ordered it twice online and twice it never arrived or got lost... :( Shall I try again? 220 Mon July 16 2012 - 01:54:19 Fullname: Fedy Email: Comments: You are right in saying "he was", cos his latest movies unfortunately don't live up to his old masterpieces... My favourite of all times is "Deep Red" (*attention spoiler!): you must be a genius to actually show the killer after five minutes and yet to be able to make the audience ignore her completely... When I rewinded the tape at the time, froze on the scene and saw that along with the main character even us, we could have seen her reflected in the mirror, I was completely blow away and oh so terrified!!! 221 Sun July 15 2012 - 14:46:45 Fullname: Ketchum Email: Comments: Saw every one of them, Fedy, and more...he was quite a unique director...best, D. 222 Thu July 12 2012 - 00:28:25 Fullname: Fedy Email: Comments: Hola Jack, then beer it is, even better, cos here they say Melbourne's the capital of coffee but well, that's far from the truth... Reading The crossings at the moment, found it second hand and signed (even though until I get a dedication I will never be 1000% happy lol) and loving it! I have a question, are you familiar with Dario Argento's movies? I can give you some suggestions, if you haven't yet seen them: Deep Red, Phenomena, Suspiria, Opera and Tenebrae are a must (along with so many others...). Cheers from the land of Oz 223 Sun July 08 2012 - 15:35:22 Fullname: Ketchum Email: Comments: Hi, Folks...FEDY -- Australian coffee would be nice, Australian beer would be even better. Italy actually thought they had money back then. Before the merde hit the fan. Glad you liked THE WOMAN. Taking BROKEN to the office might be like farting in church, depending on where you work. IAN -- enjoy the Bradbury. You can't go wrong with his stuff. I'll see what I can do about the smoking. As to hell...I figure, ah, the hell with it...Best, D. 224 Fri June 29 2012 - 08:12:53 Fullname: Ian Email: Comments: Hey Jack, just signed up for twitter and am following you. I'd follow you into hell! There's no one I'd rather spend eternal damnation with. By the way, thanks for the Bradbury suggestions, I'll definitely be reading them soon. I hope you can quit smoking so you can live into your 90's like Bradbury did. The world needs guys like you to stick around as long as possible. 225 Tue June 26 2012 - 06:00:22 Fullname: Fedy Email: Comments: Ps (there's always a ps, ain't it?): with the page going live and such I have been promoting your works quite a lot lately :)even though, probably, it wasn't a smart decision to bring "Broken on the wheels of sex" to the office as a lunchtime read... Got a couple of weird looks from some colleagues ;) (and who cares anyway, lol) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 >>
