3/12/08 - The Dead Must Go
This three-minute video is my first collaboration with photographer Doug Sanders -- I came up with the story and script, Doug took care of the cinematography, we co-edited. To really "get" this short, you need to know it was created as a submission for George Romero's "do-it-yourself-zombie-movie" promotional contest for his film Diary of the Dead:

6/9/07 - "Slasher" is
now available for free viewing in the Fiction Archives. I've also posted the
Introduction to the story from its publication in the movie-themed anthology Deathgrip
3: It Came From the Cinema, though I've included it at the end of story (just to
be contrary).
5/30/07 - I'm now on MySpace - won't you come be my Friend? (Seriously, be my Friend - I've only got like 3, it's really kinda pathetic)
5/4/07 - My feature film script The Little Room Above finished as a Semi-Finalist in the Horror/Thriller category of the 2006 Screenplay Festival contest.
4/10/07 - The poem "He
brings" was published in Issue #32 (4/7 - 6/07) of Chizine. ("Evidence (of her
passing)" will be available later this year.)
11/8/06 - HELLNOTES has published a fairly glowing review of Read by Dawn, Volume 1. Reviewer Nickolas Cook specifically mentioned "Stuck" as "a particularly well-written piece, subtle and heart wrenching, even to the bloody end."
9/1/06 - My story "Stuck"
appears in the anthology Read
by Dawn, Volume 1. This anthology, curated by Adele Hartley and hosted
by Ramsey Campbell, commemorates the 13th annual Dead
by Dawn Convention (Scotland's International Horror Film Festival).
From Ramsey Campbell's Introduction: "The unlucky central character of Sam's Minier's 'Stuck' is plagued by nocturnal regrets and unhappy replays of her life. Those are traps in themselves, but there's a physical one to exacerbate matters, and her escape proves more hideous than her plight."

"The novelist is, after all, God's liar, and if he does his job well, keeps his head and his courage, he can sometimes find the truth that lives at the center of the lie." - Stephen King
