poltergeists or psychokinesis?

Is a Poltergeist a Ghostly Interference or a Manifestation of a Suppressed Female Psyche?

A variation on the theme of my fondness for bloody telekinetic females and a brief exploration of cultural unease with female blood.

"The link between femininity and the harboring of otherworldly power signals a cultural anxiety about the very nature of being female and gestures towards a historical view of women as being both cursed and unclean."

And speaking of female power (and poetic blood), check out the Blood Pudding Press blog for a new announcement about what's next from Blood Pudding Press:

And speaking of what's next, here's the latest blurb from Slash Pine Press, who are soon to publish my own latest poetry chapbook, FONDANT PIG ANGST. Yay!

"It's coming in a month: FONDANT PIG ANGST. A chapbook of post-horrific proportions. Never have pastries and missing hands gone so well together. Pre-order available very, very soon."

And speaking of bloody horror films, Columbus-based indie film company CutThroat Entertainment (known to me because I do a little writing and PR for them) is soon to premiere their first short horror film, BREAK. You may have heard me mention this before; now I'm mentioning it again, because it's also coming soon--the evening of December 3 to be exact. Tickets are still available; in fact, you can get them through me.

If attending a special premiere party for an independent horror film sounds like an interesting proposition to you, you may find out more via my article here (one difference is that after I wrote this article, the ticket price was reduced to only $10 apiece):

If you're interested in acquiring tickets, just ask me. I'll be there and you can be there, too!

With my next update I should probably start a new entry, but here is one more update for this one. I have a new poem in the latest issue of Melusine:

I posted some Blood Pudding Press scoopage on the Blood Pudding Press blog. Click bloody telekinetic girl to slurp it up.

I'd also like to mention that the summer issue of Melusine went live last night and includes a rather squalid new poem by yours truly, as well as a new review of my full-length book, 'Horrific Confection:

On a slightly personal note, my husband is making hamburgers at midnight. Yay!

And our piebald son, Sockeye Cook-Foster aka Gorpolis, is being transitioned to a gluten-free diet starting today.
