    1. Dude, you have fantastic taste. I already knew that, it was already confirmed, but this…this makes that confirmation as solid as can be. Wasn’t she amazing in that film? Especially the scene in the bathroom with James Gandolfini? I channel her in that scene sometimes when I have a female character turning ferocious. Love it! 🙂

  3. I named my 3 years old daughter Ramona Alabama for a reason. Love those characters and that movie. In my top 3 of all-time…easy. And I own every season of Seinfeld on DVD. Best show ever.
    Thanks for sharing, buddy!

  5. I choose a different one other than Patricia in the movie. LOL I like her in Medium the TV show though. I love Brothers Karamazov. Acutally I like almost all Russian Literature, a favorite of mine even since some Russian lit classes in college. You have many various tastes, not all the same. I like that. Except George Straight and sniffing cat food. 😉

    1. I do indeed have varied tastes, Erin. I really like that you’re a fan of The Brothers Karamazov. It’s one of those books everyone should read for fun, as strange as that sounds.

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.
