Bring Me the Head of ST Joshi!

I like horror. I like Dean R. Koontz, Stephen King, Clive Barker, and any number of best selling horror authors (and even Frank Perretti! Damnit!).

Obligatory Blurbage

"This is the funniest thing I have seen in a while, I spit coffee all over my computer. If you like National Lampoon and MAD Magazine then you'll like Up From the Underground." -Brian Keene , Author of The Rising and some other non-zombie novels

More Obligatory Blurbage

“When I read the article on my art work I couldn't stop laughing. You are doing a wonderful job and your satire is brilliant. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!”
-Caniglia, Artist of a few Book Covers.

20 Questions with . . . stemmed from Holden Pike cribbing ideas from a website called Metal-Sludge.He figured it was a good idea and wanted to seem important so he took their forumla and applied it to the horror fiction field. We have authors like Brian Keene, Tim Lebbon, Kealan Patrick Burke, and many others. And new ones coming soon. You can see the previous 20 Questions here.

 

And We Didn't Even Make This Up

"I've been sitting here browsing the site and reading the articles, and I've been laughing my ass off. Clearly, some of the best writing being done in the horror business is being done by people making fun of the horror business. And if anything needs to be made fun of, it's the horror business, where we often take ourselves way too seriously. UFTU is drop-dead funny even though I've been so out of touch that I don't even get some of the jokes. There's stuff on your site that is worthy of The Onion, or the old, all-but-forgotten satirical magazine Spy. I'm hooked. From now on, I'll be regular reader of UFTU. Great stuff, great job."

- Ray Garton, author of Live Girls
