Swierczy, Live, at the Keene Forum

Labor Day is almost upon us, and many of you are probably folding up the beach towels and headed to the shore for one last sunny, sand-flecked hurrah. (Unless you live in Australia, where it's winter.) I'm packing up the family truckster, too, but I'm not headed to the shore. I'm going over to my buddy Brian Keene's place... and you're all invited!

Keene's been one of my favorite writers ever since I picked up his zombie noir debut, The Rising. Thanks to last summer's Dark Hollow, I'll never be able to look at a goat the same way again. (Thanks, Brian.) Keene's latest is Ghost Walk, and next month he's debuting his Marvel Comics mini-series, Devil Slayer (preview sketches above). The man is ridiculously talented, and crazy prolific.

And now, for some strange reason, he's opening up the doors to his place for me. All week I'll be hanging out in Keene's "One on One" forum, answering questions and just shooting the crap. And while you're there, make sure you check out the rest of Keene's joint. That's right, go snooping through his missives, manifestos, communiques, comics, books, and maybe even his cigar collection. Okay, maybe not that. We don't want to overstay our welcome...
