From the desk of Christopher Stires

(Parts of my Monthly Newsletter that went out Today)
Hope you are all doing well. I missed October. Don't know how that happened. I really like the Halloween month.
My short story, "The Killing Moon," has been translated into Finnish and published in the latest issue of Spin Magazine.
My short story, "Blood Alley," has been translated into Dutch for the Netherlands anthology Pure Fantasy.
My latest movie reviews -- Snakes on a Plane, The Descent, and Silent Hill -- are up at the newest issue of Dred (http://www.dredtales.com/FreePage21.htm). If you're a horror fan, you owe it to yourself to see The Descent.
I did an interview that can be read at Voices in the Dark (http://www.mysteryfiction.net/)
A reprint of my article "The Character Moment" also appeared in the Voices in the Dark newsletter (http://www.mysteryfiction.net/Voiceinthedarknewsletter.html)
An excerpt of my novel, To the Mountain of the Beast (http://www.carnifexpress.net) , and a reprint of "Spun Monkey" is on Bewildering Stories (http://www.bewilderingstories.com/).
Manic Press has closed and the anthology Haunted Hellhouses of Horror, in which I had a story, has been cancelled.
