Vince Liaguno just informed me that my essay "Gore, Lust and Courage: A 1980s Rite of Passage" has been accepted into BUTCHER KNIVES AND BODY COUNTS: Essays on the Formula, Frights, and Fun of the Slasher Film.

I consumed a healthy dose of slasher flicks as a kid and this article was my ode to what I now see as a their primary values to me: a means to experience fear and courage, and catch nice glimpses of naked babes! Vince had some very kind words to say about my writing and I'm looking forward to sharing a table of contents with such talents as Jack Ketchum, Lee Thomas, Jeff Strand, Richard Danksy and the Mayor of Slime City hisownself, Greg Lamberson!

Thanks to Justin Howe for reminding me about the anthology and for Vince for buying the pieces. Time to celebrate with, uh, well I guess I am taking suggestions!

Cheers,

JSR
