about me

Hi to all!

For those who have not visited here before, I write from New Bern, North Carolina having relocated here from my long time home in Arizona. Thus the AZ Writes handle. I suppose I should change it but its rather grown on me.

. Are any of you familiar with the old Pulp hair raisers from the twenties and thirties? I mean spooky publications spawning such treasures as the old EC Comics, the Warren books such as Creepy, Eerie and Tales from the Crypt .Well, Boys and girls - The newest posting is in that vein (pardon the pun) and I don't believe any of you will be disappointed. Meanwhile, take a look at the previously posted supernatural thriller Bite Mark. I don't believe either will be a disappointment.

And while we are on the subject, we all get solicitations to read this book or that. That's great. It's how things are done on this site. Yet I might suggest that some acknowledgement of the receiver's own book might be in order before asking to read anothers. It's like the old adage; you dance with the one that brought you, Right?

Best to you all
Jim

Grimm's Cabinet of Spooky Sto....

James E. Coplin

Five creepy tales to be read by flashlight, covers pulled tightly over your head.


Old houses creaking in the darkness; a thunder storm brewing outside your bedroom window. A flicker of lighting stabs the darkness in the corners and just for an instant you catch a glimpse of what might be hiding there. Its time to reach under your mattress, pull out all those pulp magazines your mother won't let you read. Here's five of them - quick tales intended to do no more than raise the short hairs on your neck and give you a shiver. Sweet (or as Grimm would say "Sweat") Dreams and Enjoy!

 

Bite Mark

James E. Coplin

Forget about Full Moons and Wolfbane. A Werewolf may pad into your body like an unused lair. It comes out when ever it wishes.


Jack Grady came to the Yukon in 1896, wandering its frozen waste in search of gold and adventure. What he found was torment and damnation through the curse of a Tanguit Shaman.

For 114 years Jack has lived the nighmare of the waking dead. Yet even the undying die and those that are dead may someday come back. Each curse runs its course and Jack is resurrected into a world where all those he knew have been bones for over a century. Yet his punishment remains. Where once he was a man imprisoned in the body of a wolf, he now must live the hunted life of a wolf in the body of a man!

An uneasy truce has existed between his two natures. Yet when Jack falls in love with a pretty Goth waitress named Annie Forrest, all bets are off!

I came across Fade and began to read it with certain pre-qualifications. I am not a great advocate of the lengthy, emotive introspection that defines what has loosely been coined "teen fiction." Nor do I generally favor First Person as the best narrative. Yet I do like style, easy identification w... view book

The mark of a good children's book is when it seldom reminds you that it is one. Glass Dreams sooths you into it with uncomplicated but familiar characters, a traditional but suspenceful plot and the fun of an author who obviously enjoys the story she's telling. It's contageous. The Circus is the... view book

Theres little I can add to the other comments other than this adds to the entire circus of the wicked way genre such as The Circus of Dr. Loa and even Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes. Good job and good luck. Backed of course. view book

Oh, I do like this. It's free floating and mysterious; magic floating in the dark corners of the prose. I've read enough to back and urge others to read it. My only wish is that I could enjoy the rest by turning pages rather then scrolling on a screen. It just isn't the same, is it? view book

I like this. It has an authentic Edwardian texture to it that easily draws you into the setting and the style of it mimics the best of the late Victorian/Early 20th Century mystery writers. I'm anxious to see how it progresses. view book
