Yesterday was a record day for The Site That Should Not Be.  Apparently I need to stop talking about horror so much and find some more funny articles to post.  🙂

The Horror Writers Association has compiled a good list of horror novels and short stories published in the last year.  They update it regularly as new recommendations for their annual Bram Stoker Award are submitted by the members.  Check it out Here.

A Nightmare on Elm Street may be my favorite horror movie of all time.  And yes, the original.  It makes me sad that I have to differentiate the two now.  See why I love it here.

Has anyone read this book?  I have always been a fan of Stephen King, but the whole premise of this one seems like a major stretch.  The reviews on Goodreads are pretty fantastic (4.4 stars with 1500 ratings), though I have read some horror fans who were disappointed that the book lacks scares.  I also question the choice of topics; of all the things I would go back and change, Kennedy’s assassination is not first on my list.  I may check it out, though Under the Dome seems more enticing.

Christmas Lites, a holiday anthology that includes one of my short stories, hits the stores today. It’s sort of a crazy book, with a little bit of everything.  You may not like all the stories, but I guarantee you will like some of them.  Mine is a Christmas ghost story.  All proceeds go to the NCADV, making this the perfect Christmas present or indulgence. I have included a link to both CreateSpace and Amazon below. If you buy from CreateSpace, we make twice as much money for the NCADV. Let me know if you have any questions.

It’s been quite a year.  This time last year, I wasn’t really sure if this whole writing thing had any future beyond a hobby for myself and my long suffering friends I make read everything I write.  Now, I’m a published author with a book that is doing far better than I could ever have hoped.  And I have all of you to thank for that.  To my family and friends, to everyone who bought the book, to all the great folks at JournalStone–Thank You!  I am truly blessed.

Great article by my friend Paul Finebaum on the Alabama Auburn rivalry.  If you haven’t lived it, you can’t understand it.  And no matter how bad whatever rivalry you are a part of is, it’s worse here.  Click me!

I want to thank everyone that voted in the Goodreads Choice Awards this year.  We didn’t make the finals, but the fact that we were in the Top 20–out of thousands of books published this year–just shows what great people you all are.  But don’t worry, I’m working on Book 2.  We’ll get um next year!

I’ll be in Tuscaloosa, Alabama most of the day watching the Crimson Tide take on Georgia Southern.  With Okie St. going down last night, Alabama has a real shot at a rematch with LSU for the national title.  Keep your fingers crossed!  Roll Tide!

Hello, and welcome to my website.  My name is Brett J.
