Morbid Suit Podcast

The first Cult Fiction event we ran back in June 2010 was called Papers and Skin.  All of the stories had something to do with skin in one way or another.  My story was called Morbid Suit and was read by the lovely and talented Michelle Shupe.  We recorded the event.  If you didn't make it out to the show, at long last, you can hear my story!  Just click the link to hear it in your browser.  If you like, you can right click it and Save Link As... to download the MP3 and listen to it at your leisure.  Enjoy!

Tonight's the Night!

Okay!  Tonight is the night for our third Cult Fiction show; The Dark Hunt.  I gotta say I'm really digging how everything for this show is just falling into place and it's shaping up to be a hell of a night!  All these people who are helping pull this off are amazing, seriously amazing.

You see, I've got this vision, where we get people from every form of the arts and just smash them all together into this awesome creativity collective.  Sure, Cult Fiction is horror themed.  I love horror.  Horror makes for fun exciting shows.  But that's not the heart of it.  The heart of these shows is bringing everyone together.  Us authors tend to be solo acts.  We don't typically get to play with the other arts.  I'm tired of that.  Cult Fiction is the remedy.  Authors, Actors, Musicians, Dancers, Artists, Filmmakers (yes, I totally want indy films in this thing eventually, short plays, performance art, etc...), and Techies.  Yes, computer geekery, sound guys, web guys, etc... is an art in my book.  I sure can't do it.

So far, it seems to be working.  Tonight we'll really get a taste of it and I'm really stoked.  I don't think I'm alone.  People really like the idea of being a part of some giant cross-art event and the more folks who like it, the more we can hit this thing from different angles in the future.  Oh, am I talking about the future and we haven't even had this show yet?  Of course I am.  You know me.

See you tonight people!  Happy Hunting!

2011 Cult Fiction Lineup!

An organized cult is a happy cult.  With this in mind I'd like to release our show schedule for the entire year of 2011!  Yes, the whole damn year.

Once every three months the cult brings you chilling tales of terror, read dramatically on stage by wonderful actors at the upstairs room of the Lucky Number Grill.  There is creepy atmosphere, cheap well drinks, eerie ambient music, and s'mores.  Yep.  Indoor s'mores!  On top of all this goodness, our next year will be introducing some horror burlesque and unsettling performance art between the stories.  For a measly $5 cover, it's not to be missed!

Without further ado, the lineup;

January 28th, 8pm -Cult Fiction: The Dark Hunt

April 22nd, 8pm - Cult Fiction: Unholy Sacrifices

July 22nd, 8pm - Cult Fiction: A Splash of Red

October 28th, 8pm - Cult Fiction: The Bone Harvest

And remember, if you're an author looking to have your story considered for one of these events, feel free to drop by the Lucky Number any Tuesday between 7 and 10 to join in on one of our weekly cult writers workshops.  We're always there, plotting and scheming away...
