FAREWELL, HERSCHELL GORDON LEWIS...

You were one of a kind for sure, Mr. Lewis, redefining the horror genre, mixing ultra-gore with far-out humor. 

The likes of "Blood Feast", "Two Thousand Maniacs" and "Color Me Blood Red", to name the earliest, trendsetting entries in what became your long-lasting, horror saga, have inspired me no end, particularly in my writing. Your showmanship was also unsurpassed: a blueprint for all young filmmakers to follow, even though it's unlikely they'll ever match your macabre wonderment. 

Flask of Eyes Update #4

As my big "Flask of Eyes" release date approaches from Damnation Books, I thought I'd offer a couple interim teasers. As such, below you'll find two posters: Jack Arnold's "Monster on the Campus" (1958) and H.G. Lewis' "Blood Feast" (1963). 

The "Monster on the Campus" artwork is actually displayed in the lead character's dingy apartment. It also links to a startling, physical change that strikes him (hint, hint).

The "Blood Feast" poster isn't referenced in the story, but the actual film is, in fact, featured in one of the tale's surreal scenes.

Anyway, hope these ghastly selections wet your appetite for my novel, and rest assured, "Flask" is most definitely coming soon to a literary source near you!!!
