A lot of the work occupying me over the last several years has been coming to fruition lately, so it seems I'm announcing a new book of mine every other month. In addition to THE SECRET LIFE OF LOVE SONGS and THE MAN WITH KALEIDOSCOPE EYES, I've also contributed to WARPED & FADED (edited by Kier-La Janisse, and apparently already out of print!), Ramsey Campbell's RAMSEY'S RAMBLES (an Afterword), and now this latest arrival: Chris Kelso and David Leo Rice's CHILDREN OF THE NEW FLESH, a hefty compendium of essays, criticism, fiction and discussion about the early work of David Cronenberg (notably the short films that established themes explored less densely but more deeply in his feature work) and its continuing, fertile influence. There's ten pages of me in the interviews section of this impressively varied and thoughtful book, which also features the input of Bruce Wagner, Patrick McGrath, Mick Garris, Kathe Koja and others. Particularly notable among the other contributions is a piece on Cronenberg's debut short TRANSFER (1966) by Stephen R. Bissette, omitted from his mammoth book on THE BROOD for Electric Dreamhouse's Midnight Movie Monographs series. In short, you need this and here is where you can find it!
