| Nickolaus A. Pacione Publisher Joliet, IL Writer, Publisher & Editor
I am a writer whose been published with horror, Science Fiction, and with non-fiction. (My horror works can be somewhat controversial, and the anthology series I helm is TABLOID PURPOSES. I could see PETA on my ass for Ken Goldman's story, but then again -- the joke I have on PETA is one that will piss off animal rights. I am a carnivore and like my burgers, steak, and other meat.) I do have a progressive approach to writing horror fiction, but the Science Fiction will have a lot of my political views infused with it. It was easier to keep the political views out of horror, but Science Fiction gives more leeway to be political. I've been drawn to ghost stories for more than one reason, and the kind of thing I write in horror has a background in tradition. I read a lot of books by Stephen King, H.P. Lovecraft, and Richard Matheson then a few books by authors who are buddies of mine from AuthorsDen.com. I sold work to Tales of the Talisman, Witherssin Magazine, and NSP Books. Want an idea what I write about send me an email, and I will send you the links to some work available online but a lot of the work I've been getting published is print exclusive material. I am one half of the writing team behind House of Spiders 3 but also the driving force behind it because Bite of the Spider and House of Spiders were the prequels I wrote. I couldn't have done the novella without Marjanovic's help and input. My work as a horror writer and as a non-fiction writer explores a real dark side to human nature, the horror work explores supernatural as far as ghosts and other nasty creatures. I get paid for creating some rather vicious monsters or exploring the private hell of people's minds. What scares them in other words. The non-fiction stories range from health scares to full on ghost stories. Memoir of Cuba Road is just that, originally having a Pentacostal background added a deminsion when I went to write Gothic Horror - the fact I don't include erotic content for a reason, takes away from the scares. I will publish a Christian writer who has a dark tendicites before publishing someone with an alternative sexual fringe. So if you write on the alternative sexual fringe -- I am not your publisher. Everything I write seems to have an UN-PC slant on it -- and sometimes will bring an in your face aspect to it. I am working on a non-fiction book about being a writer who was harassed most of my teen years and how it developed into the horror style that is my signature throw down style. Tabloid Purposes IV is currently available for purchase for those who want old school horror fiction without the guilt. I've been running the series now for almost four years but managed to get four books out in that short time -- then I got another anthology which will be a promotional. You must be a legit promoter if you want information on when that will be finished.

Client list: | See the books to see the authors I worked with. I am anthology publisher exclusively. Traditional Horror and Science Fiction, and will publish Christan-friendly authors who have an edgy element to their work. I will not even consider alternative sexual content or alternative romance so if you write that shit, don't contact me about it.
Traditional Horror with edgy imaginations is what I specialize in and will publish non-fiction too if it is scary enough. See ralan.com for guidelines for the various anthologies I will take submissions for. See the guidelines posted on the blog for a full detail what I am look for in the magazine from issue to issue it's a different thing each time.
IT is hard to keep track how many authors wrote on Lake Fossil Press but I will say the authors who worked on Tabloid Purposes are Ken Goldman, Brian W. Keen, Terry Lloyd Vinson, Barbara Malenky and Jeff Skinner respectvely (Malenky, Goldman and Skinner on II -- Ken been on the past few since Tabloid Purposes II.)
If you're a production company wanting to get in touch with them they are on myspace so if you want their information -- I will e-mail you privately with it. | |
