I’ve been getting lots of messages regarding why most of my books are no longer listed at Horror Mall and to the best of my knowledge the changing of bookstore hands over there is what has caused the problem. Not sure when it will be resolved so in the meantime, please just head on over to Amazon or your other favorite online retailer to pick up copies.
Thanks for your messages and happy reading!

I’ve heard people have been receiving their copies. I’ve yet to see one, so if you are among the lucky ones, please let me know what you think. This book is probably my best work to date and I’m anxious to see how people like not only the production of the actual book (which, from all accounts is gorgeous) but the story as well. Drop me a line at ginaranalli@hotmail or respond here. Looking forward to hearing from you guys!
Animals are people too! And that is messed up. So they have independent cinema. See what happens when an animal film crew kidnap a human boy and make a movie of the abduction. Read things about Nature that just aren’t natural. Fear your pets from this day forward. With zombie-cat attacks, gun-blasting massacres, drugged-out puppet shows, exploding car chases, camera-chickens, bat acrobats, wild sex, martini parties and torture-ROTTEN LITTLE ANIMALS is a crazy ride through the underground animal film scene and on to the Big Time.
Kevin’s book is brilliant, funny, disturbing and one of my favorite reads of the last year. I promise it will be one of yours as well. Check it out here: http://tiny.cc/R8Obw

Editor-In-Chief : Jeff Burk
I keep getting this searing pain in my left eye, which can only mean one thing: someone has finally crafted a voodoo doll in my likeness and is stabbing it repeatedly with a sewing needle.
If that someone is YOU (and I suspect that it is) please–PLEASE–stop with the needle already. I promise I won’t write any more books revealing your lack of endowment, social skills and onionesque-body odor. In fact, I’ll destroy the ones already printed and beg my publisher cease and desist as well.
I can no longer take the agony. I surrender and honestly regret ever having crossed you. Just please–no more voodoo.
Sincerely,
Gina, the meek and half-blind
The subtitle of this new magazine is “The Best of the Bizarro Genre.” And you know what? It really is. Editor Jeff Burk busts his ass to make it so and it shows.
Inside, you will find fiction from some of the best known and most talented writers the bizarro genre has to offer: Andersen Prunty, Garrett Cook, Jordan Krall, Jeremy Shipp, Bruce Taylor and others.
In addition, there are reviews and nonfiction aplenty, plus an author spotlight on…wait for it…ME! Nice chunky interview with me where you can learn all about my affinity for otters, punk rock and nasal cavities. (Only one of those things is true. Which one? You’ll have to get the mag to find out!)
You can pick up your copy at www.bizarrocentral.com or here is the Amazon link: http://tiny.cc/QNKUt
If you’re new to bizarro and wondering what’s it’s all about, its an inexpensive way to check it out and see what grabs you or if you’re already a fan, then I really don’t have to tell you you should already have it, do I?
So, do it up. You’ll sleep better at night and the world will be a brighter, happier place. And maybe a little stickier too.
Here’s a story I wrote a long-ass time ago, called Heavy Flow. And yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like.
Hope you enjoy it!
Short and sweet:
