Nasty Horror began about a year ago. At which time I invisioned having the coolest horror blog ever with tons of comics stuff. That didn’t happen.

The only real things here were reviews of  Dark Horse’s Creepy Magazine (Creepy, issue #2), and  the most recent Roman Dirge’s original Lenore. That’s not very much.

In reviewing the blog I noticed that I tend to write long posts.  Many of my posts are 1000 to 2500 words long. This made it both hard  for me to write them quickly, and  difficult for people to trudge through them. This prevented me from writing the coolest latest breaking news, simply because I either couldn’t figure out how to stretch it out to 2000 words, or I resisted starting a post realizing how long it would take.

The Day It Changed

How could I write detailed, humorous and informative stuff, and still be able to update the blog frequently? After much kvetching and tap-dancing, I had a revelation. The answer was obvious.  I am changing the format of the Nasty.  I am splitting my horror coverage into two different entities. One will have complete articles and the other, short but powerful nuggets.

The short news flashes and such will be right here.  The longer stuff (the specials) will only be in the newsletter.  It is called the Nasty Horror Newsletter. (I paid an ad guy a lot of money to think that one up) Only people who sign up for it will get it.

I will be posting a link to sign up and a more detailed description, once the first issue is finished.  In the mean time just enjoy the new format of the blog and never pet your cat from the tail forward.  It really pisses them off. (Unless they’re Persians.  It’s near impossible to annoy a Persian.)

Come back soon, because the posts will be much more frequent now.

PS – After looking around at many other horror comic sites, I have taken a solemn vow to never refer to my readers as “kiddies”. I intended it as an homage to Stephen King’s Creepshow.  But I have since noticed that everyone does it.   So I will think of  something else.   I’m a writer.  That’s what I do.
