drupagliassotti @ March 18, 2011 # No Comment Yet

Just in case you hadn’t heard, The Harrow Press’s Day Terrors is now available for Kindle! I love ebooks, myself, so I’m delighted that we can offer our own book in this format, and I’m hoping that we might be able to go back and convert our Midnight Lullabies collection to Kindle, as well. The [...]

drupagliassotti @ February 16, 2011 # No Comment Yet

You can now purchase Day Terrors at Amazon.Com! From my introduction… As long as we don’t see them, the world’s evils will remain confined; the cat will be alive; the trauma will be nothing but a bad dream; and the monster out there will be nothing more than the wind rattling the windows, after all.

The Harrow Press, the editing side of my life, has just announced its new anthology — Mortis Operandi. We’re looking for stories that feature (1) the investigation of a crime, and (2) the supernatural. They don’t have to be horror — we’re open to just about any genre and treatment. What we want is to be wowed [...]

Corsets & Clockwork

drupagliassotti @ October 16, 2010 # No Comment Yet

I just finished a mad writing spree to finish up a short story for Corsets & Clockwork, which I set in an alternative Venice because I’ve been so immersed in preparation for next semester’s Imagining Venice art/communication course. It was a lot of fun developing an alternative city that Napoleon hadn’t conquered, and I did [...]

What Would You Save If….

drupagliassotti @ March 3, 2010 # One Comment

When a colleague told me our building was on fire this afternoon, I grabbed my purse, laptop, library book, and the page proofs for Boys’ Love Manga, so that I wouldn’t lose any of my penciled-in edits if the building burned down!

Harrow webmaster Jason has dug out the problematic code that was triggering malware warnings on The Harrow, so the zine should be soon available to you through Google.
