Also check out her profile on deviantART. She writes, “I’d been meaning to listen to ‘The Skull-Faced Boy’ ever since listening to you read ‘The Skull-Faced City,’ but only got around to it lately, now that it’s cold outside and school is out. I drew while I listened, and it ended up being Ashley, freshly skull-faced.” Posted in art & animation, fan art, the skull-faced boy | No Comments » Fan Art 1/6/10 Wednesday, January 6th, 2010 Here’s some more fan art from Blazeblackwing, for my short story “The Skull-Faced City.” So here we have Dustin (the skull-faced boy), Jack (now a decapitated head), Ashley (Dustin’s bride), and Park (a former scout sniper who works as a sort of bounty hunter for Dustin and who goes masked when outside the city to hide his skull face): And here’s Park without his mask: Posted in art & animation, fan art, the skull-faced boy | No Comments » Fan Art 12/31/09 Thursday, December 31st, 2009 Here’s some great new fan art I just received. The first piece, by Blazeblackwing, depicts the characters from my story “The Skull-Faced Boy” as they appear at the end of that tale. It’s funny, I don’t know if anyone remembers what my website used to look like back in 1999, but the main graphic looked almost exactly like the half-skull smiley face on Ashley’s T-shirt there. The second piece, by Jandan, is a sort of prequel image for my story “Cats in Victory,” in which she imagines what the characters Lion and Tiger might have looked like ten or fifteen years before the story takes place, when the deadly and vainglorious Lion was just a shy pupil. Posted in art & animation, fan art, the skull-faced boy | No Comments » Skull-Faced Boy Fan Art on deviantArt Wednesday, December 16th, 2009 I just discovered these two images over on deviantArt that were inspired by my short story “The Skull-Faced Boy.” Blazeblackwing, creator of the first one, writes, “Hi. I was told that you were on here by a friend. He saw that I had drawn a pic titled ’skull faced boy’ and said to see what you think of it. I first read it in a zombie collection of stories and loved reading it! I didn’t draw the skull-faced boy in the way I hoped you saw him, but in the way my own interpretation of him was.” DarkAlley001, creator of the second image, says, “Recently I’ve become a maniac about podcasts — can you blame a person when the news is so depressing? One of these would be Pseudopod, an amazing source of horror/suspense/thriller short stories. I’ve been thinking of creating something for these stories for awhile, and with Halloween just around the corner, I feel inspired.” And, if you missed it, also check out Jandan’s skull-faced boy art. I also have a deviantArt profile.

I love this cover. It matches the design of the first book, but the blue color scheme gives it a moody look all its own. Also check out the hi-res version. Here’s a synopsis for “The Skull-Faced City”: The zombie army of Dustin the skull-faced boy has grown legion, and has constructed a grim necropolis for him to rule over alongside his reluctant bride, Ashley. His followers are urged to carve off their faces, and bounty hunters are sent out from the city to bring back living prisoners, for purposes unknown. Can anyone put an end to Dustin’s mad, paranoid reign?

Posted in nyc, the skull-faced boy | No Comments » “The Skull-Faced Boy” Fan Art Friday, August 28th, 2009 Here’s a spectacular piece of fan art for my short story “The Skull-Faced Boy.” View the high-res version.     The artist writes: So I got the anthology The Living Dead about two weeks ago. DEVOURED the book. And this is the one story that really sticks out. I’ve had this image in my head ever since I read the short story … I don’t think I quite did the image justice, but for the most part I am happy with it nonetheless. If you are a zombie nut, GO READ THIS STORY. Hell, GO BUY THE BOOK. You will NOT be disappointed. Check out the rest of her portfolio over on deviantArt.
