As promised (or threatened), I will continue to pop in over here from time to time with updates on my own projects. It's a shame to let such a gorgeous site go to waste...

James Tampa at Medallion Press sent me the cover art by the talented Tommy Castillo for my October, 2010 novel, DESPERATE SOULS, the second volume in my action/horror/noir series "The Jake Helman Files," which started with PERSONAL DEMONS. Castillo also did the cover for my upcoming werewolf novel, THE FRENZY WAY, which Medallion publishes in June.

In DESPERATE SOULS, Jake Helman takes on drug lords who use a new street drug called Black Magic to create an army of zombie soldiers. It's my best novel to date, and I'm ... (more…)

Medallion Press has made Tommy Castillo's amazing wraparound cover for my upcoming horror novel THE FRENZY WAY available as a free, downloadable wallpaper.

THE FRENZY WAY will be published as a trade paerback in June, 2010. It's an action packed story about cops battling werewolves in the streets of New York City, sort of THE FRENCH CONNECTION smashed with THE HOWLING. The novel features big action set pieces that I could never attempt in a low budget (or even medium budget) film.

Blurbs for THE FRENZY WAY:

"THE FRENZY WAY is an awesome blend of police procedural and bloody werewolf action. It's easily Lamberson's best novel--and I loved his first two!"

Here it is: the official one sheet for my upcoming film SLIME CITY MASSACRE. The poster was designed by Stephen Romano, who's done countless other posters and DVD covers. I knew I wanted Stephen involved in SCM since I saw his amazing book, SHOCK FESTIVAL. He also painted the cover and mini-poster for POP Cinema's SLIME CITY GRINDHOUSE COLLECTION. In addition, Stephen has created 15 gorgeous paintings for SCM's title sequence.

The poster features Slime Heads Debbie Rochon (orange), Jennifer Bihl (pink), Lee Perkins (blue) and Kealan Patrick Burke (green). It also shows the radioactive green sky glowing over the ruins of midtown Manhattan, aka "Slime City."

SLIME CITY MASSACRE will have ... (more…)

Sorry, couldn't resist... and this will be the last A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET post on Fear Zone. I don't have it out for this latest remake, but I can't say I'm looking forward to it, either.

That isn't Jackie Earle Haley you're looking at as Robert Englund's replacement, but a detailed doll--er, action figure. Double click on the image to get a better look at the Gloved One. I admire the approach of going for a realistic burn victim look, but to me this looks just a little too much like one of the aliens in CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND. I guess you'll just have to see the film and tell me how the real deal looks!

Happy Thanksgiving. (more…)
