A quick look at one of Doug Potter’s “alternate takes” on “Max Random” signage, to celebrate the latest five star review, over a weekend where it sojourned in zombie fiction’s “Top 50″ for awhile....

New “Across the Pond” column up at https://britishcinematographer.co.uk/future-proofing/: One last reflection on Cine Gear, RED Digital’s little apocalypses, Marvel’s “Cloak & Dagger,” and at least one familiar mugshot.

In the words of pod-master @JerryKnaak: “It's raw, it's loud, we were half drunk by the end of it and the damn trains kept interrupting us, but Samantha Heuwagen, Mark London Williams and I had a great time creating this Get the Knaak podcast. Join us as we chat about books, tomorrow's panel discussion at SF Comic Con, politics, storytelling and so much more.”

We’re in the midst of a tour through “Two Trickster Tango,” since it’s a tale of Elijah & Coyote, and what with Passover here, we’re in that “Elijah time of year,” que no? 
In the first pic, up top, master of disguise Elijah is somewhere around Lodz, disguised as a guard, and letting in some peasants through a back door to get something to eat at a duke’s castle. Coyote is hightailing out to California, and eventually writes Elijah, who picks up the mail at a letter drop in a synagogue basement, tended by a #golem.

Ol’ Eli will be invited west by Coyote, and with war brewing in Europe, he considers the offer. 
More coming soon, but really, this is mostly to show off Doug Potter’s great art...

May there be light in your holidays, and all through the New Year. (And may there be more great Doug Potter art like this!)

If it’s Cyber Monday, we've expanding the "Max" giveaway contest announced over the weekend, collecting one of your more "horrific" in-mall shopping stories for a book... If you have some "cyber horror" to share, you can still win a signed print book, or quick e-copy, that way, too!
For Giving Tuesday, the rules are: DM us your receipt for whichever non-profit you gave to, for a free e-copy of Max Random! (Quantities, as they say, are limited! ;-)

ZOMBIE MADNESS! BOOK GIVEAWAY - BLACK FRIDAY thru CYBER MONDAY!
This holiday weekend, to celebrate its first week of release, we’re GIVING AWAY COPIES OF MAX RANDOM AND THE ZOMBIE 500! A total of Five: two hard copies (signed by me and sent to you) or three digital copies (probably not signed by me, but let me buy you a drink when we cross paths on "wetspace!")
HOW DO I WIN!? you ask. Well, as a lot of you know, my favorite zombie flick is what generally considered the "Citizen Kane" of zombie tales -- George Romero's "Dawn of the Dead." Set, of course, in a shopping mall.
Hence, the first five "mall horror stories" I get DM'd, posted (or emailed?) to me (here, on Facebook, Twitter, or Goodreads) will win the books!
And remember! Don't be undead -- or unread!

And .... Feliz Dia de las Muertos! And speaking of "Day of the Dead," I'd say it was that Romero film - the third in his original trilogy -- that was perhaps the biggest influence on some subplotted aspects of my own upcoming "Max Random" tome....
Putting aside, of course, Romero's role in (re)inventing the whole apocalyptic zombie parable to begin with....

If you get that brain-buzz on and want some reading to go with it, first person to DM me a receipt for an order of Max Random the Zombie 500 gets a Starbucks card to pick up the frap tab (as in rhyming w/ lab and slab!)
 Well, or a Peets card if you wanna...!
