I've entered. Great initiative! *BigSmile*
Hey everyone, here's a place to submit a horror story or poem where you can link to your books or website. I have a story posted there and it's a nice set up.

Cemetery Tomes - a website for modern horror and gothic fiction
My buddy Nate is looking for new stories and poems for his horror website. He promotes the stories on Facebook and gives the author a nice credit/bio on the story/poem page. So, if you're looking to get your work read and having the credit of a site publish your work (slightly different than self-published) then check out the site and send him a story. (Let me know and I'll tell him to give your story an extra special look/see.)

Giant Monsters abound in Stomping Grounds

I am proud to announce that, Stomping Grounds, a collection of Giant Monster stories, features a short story by yours truly, Michael Thomas-Knight

April Moon Books has released Stomping Grounds, an anthology of Giant Monster stories which includes my tale, The Devil’s Avatar.

The Devil’s Avatar has numerous nods to scenes in classic Giant Monster Movies including, Attack of the 50 ft. Woman, Talos from Jason and the Argonauts, King Kong, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, and others. Hopefully, if you read the story, you’ll get to certain parts and say, Hey, this reminds me of the scene in the movie, so-and-so (fill in movie title).

So, if giant monsters is your thing, from 50’s sci-fi to Lovecraftian Monsters to Kaiju Creatures, check out Stomping Grounds:

Right on, Michael!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all my friends here on WDC! I've been a little under the weather lately but I'm slowly feeling better.

Hope you all have a great year and achieve all your writing goals for 2015!
My story, The Memory Thief, chosen for the Best of Dark Eclipse Magazine
The Best of Dark Eclipse - Volume 2 (Dark Eclipse Book 41)
It is with great honor that I can announce that my story, The Memory Thief, has been included in The Best of Dark Eclipse Magazine, Vol. 2. Dark Eclipse and its sister publication Dark Moon Digest have been turning out high quality, horror fiction for many years now. It has always been one of the harder markets to get into and I was happy getting published by them once, but now I am duly honored to have the story reprinted. http://www.amazon.com/Best-Dark-Eclipse-Darl-Book-ebook/dp/B00QL14Y6I/ref=sr_1_2...
New Horror Anthology release...

Journals of Horror: Found Fiction, includes a short story by Michael Thomas-Knight

I have recently had a story published in an Anthology edited by veteran horror writer, Terry M. West. Journals of Horror, is a collection of terror inspired by the mechanics of the found footage horror film. In JOURNALS OF HORROR, the stories presented are horrific encounters committed to paper, item or device and discovered later. Each tale is a case file that has been transcribed from some type of unearthed diary.

Check it out here: Journals of Horror on Amazon.com  Open in new Window.

Congrats, Mike! That is awesome news! And the anthology sounds really interesting. Can't wait to check it out.
Thanks 'yawl :)
BTW, Terry M. West is my favorite modern author. If you get a chance, check out his books, A Psycho's Medley and What Price Gory! Both are available for Kindle.
I’d like to say Happy Halloween to all my friends here on WDC, if any of you are reading this. I haven’t been available like I used to be - I’ve been working on so many great things it’s hard to keep up. Here’s some recent published works for you to check out. They are FREE to read.

I have a new horror fiction story published on FictionTerrifica.com called, Urban Legend #9. It's short and you can read it for FREE, no sign in, no email requests, just click the link, read, and click off when you‘re done. http://www.fictionterrifica.com/UrbanLegend9MTK.html


Next is true experience about when I was in a paranormal investigation group. The link here describes our experience at the Famous Witch Hanging Tree of Long Island. Stop by and give it a read. http://foxghosttales.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-witch-tree-investigation-report.ht...

I know some have left WDC in the past 2 years, their last comment to me only reads; Former Member. If anyone is leaving here please stay in touch thru my blog, or facebook. It just seems weird that I have made some friendships here, then I log in one day and people are gone. My email is also on my blog. All my links are in my portfolio header.

To the rest of my friends, thanks for reading and for all your kind words through the years,
Mike

Great to see you here. I just read your true experience about the witch tree. I thought it was an enjoyable read. I am a fan of your work.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN, MIKE! Hope you're enjoying the best day of the year. I loved "Urban Legend #9" -- typical Knight brilliance! I'm also a little perturbed by your events at Witch Hanging Tree. I had similar unexplainable and strange occurrences years ago when I participated in a paranormal investigation of Eastern State Penitentiary for fun. Perhaps some things are better left unexplained and undisturbed.

May the ghosts and goblins greatly inspire you on this spooky day!
Thanks Nicola and Shishad. I hope to get more of my experiences with the paranormal group down on paper and published in different places and websites. *Smile*
Question. I need help. How do I turn my Review Requests to off so members stop asking me to review items for the time being? I don't have a lot of time to be on WDC lately and I feel bad when I'm not able to respond to requests.
I figured it out. Go to your portfolio and click on the review tab at the top. Once you're there, click the manager button at the top right. Where it says the minimum gift points for reviews, open the drop down and click on, does not accept requests. Refresh the page and there you have it. Hope this helps! *Smile*
Thanks Mel York! That was it *Smile*
Sure thing! Is you have any other questions you can email me and I will try to help. *Smile*

I am proud to announce the arrival of Terror Train, an anthology of horror fiction featuring the work of noted authors and wordsmiths,
William F. Nolan, Roger Cowin, William Cook and yours truly, Michael Thomas-Knight.

Congrats, Mike! I'm excited to check it out!
I'd like to apologize for not responding to some review requests I had received. I have been busy writing stories for anthologies and working on a novel, so I haven't been on WDC as much as I'd like to. I will try to get to all the review requests even though the response time has passed. I also intend to change my status in the reviewer profile.
