New Interview, First Author Photo, and Some Updates

Posted on by Jonathan Janz

Quick post tonight, which is sad and ironic. Okay, maybe just sad, since I haven’t posted in a couple weeks. Why haven’t I posted? Well, the obvious and boring reason is that I’ve been too dang busy to post. The better answer, which also happens to be true, is that I’ve been extraordinarily busy with authorly things.

I’ll have some good news soon. Nay, great news. But since I just used the word nay the way I just did, I don’t deserve to share any good news. In fact, stop reading now. I’m serious. That was one of the dorkiest moments I’ve ever had as a blogger. And I just called myself a blogger, which is another reason to leave now. Please, before the dork quotient rises into six digits.

Man, I hate myself right now.

 

 

 

Still there?

Okay, so some updates:

The decidedly un-dorky Meli over at Dreadful Tales interviewed me yesterday. In it I talk quite a bit about my upcoming June release, the above-pictured House of Skin. And if any of you are interested in seeing what I look like, you can check out the interview link and see me. Sort of.

She also talked about The Sorrows the day before. Here’s that.

Oh, and for those of you wondering if I ever got sick (you know, the last part of my previous blog post?)…

I did.

Oh, did I ever.

Future poets will write odes to the depths of sickness to which I sank. Sculptors will carve statues out of vomit-colored marble. Painters will conjure horrid canvases by mixing pinks and browns and what look like oak leaves.

So yeah, I got pretty sick.

Until next time, Faithful Readers. Some very big news is on the horizon…

Jonathan Janz grew up between a dark forest and a graveyard, and in a way, that explains everything. Brian Keene named his debut novel The Sorrows “the best horror novel of 2012”. The Library Journal deemed his follow-up, House of Skin, “reminiscent of Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House and Peter Straub’s Ghost Story.” Samhain Horror will also publish his third novel, The Darkest Lullaby, in April. Savage Species will be his fourth full-length work. Look for his fifth novel, a vampire western called Dust Devils, in early 2014. He has also written three novellas (The Clearing of Travis Coble, Old Order, and Witching Hour Theatre) and several short stories. His primary interests are his wonderful wife and his three amazing children, and though he realizes that every author’s wife and children are wonderful and amazing, in this case the cliché happens to be true.
