Oh Hi, Trailer for “Darkness on the Edge”

Oh hi, blog reader.

Previously I’ve mentioned the anthology DARKNESS ON THE EDGE (due out very soon from PS Publishing), which consists of stories inspired by the songs of Bruce Springsteen (oh hi, Bruce). Well, one of the contributors, John Palisano (oh hi, John) — whose own story, “Wings for Wheels,” was inspired by the song “Thunder Road” — has created a video trailer to promote the book. Its music and images  very nicely create a haunting evocation of Springsteen’s work (I’m especially put in mind of the album “Nebraska” — oh hi, Nebraska). Check out the video, here:

My own story in the anthology is “The Room,” inspired by the song “Candy’s Room.” It’s a short thing that I manage to set in Punktown and make Lovecraftian (oh hi, Lovecraft) in addition to being Springsteeny. My “The Room” is NOT inspired by Tommy Wiseau’s (oh hi, Tommy) movie, THE ROOM. If you wonder what all the “oh hi’s” are about, well, you haven’t seen THE ROOM. Here’s an overview, again from YouTube:

THE ROOM is not to be missed, trust me – nor is DARKNESS ON THE EDGE. Pre-order it here:
