House of Pain E-Zine tee

If you were a horror author in the mid-1990s into the mid-2000s, you'd find your way on here and featured eventually. Noted for ushering writers who also turned publishers like Mike Philbin (Hertzan Chimera), Kealan Patrick Burke (as he disowns The Clause), Trent Zelazny (as he eventually worked with me on my first magazine's issue, and the third issue) and a host of others. In 2003 Wraith Knox introduced Nicholas Tillemans who became part of the second Chimeraworld anthology, as some of the roster became part of Tabloid Purposes as some joined in the sequels. It is known as a who's who in the small press as the independent press introduced bizzaro fiction, neo-traditional, Stygian Memoir (the creative nonfiction subgenre that is an offshoot of Gothic Horror and Gonzo Journalism,) alt. history ala 1990s, and horror that became from the post-9/11 world as it was a touchy subject to approach. Being dark about September 11th was a bit taboo. Noted for invoking a huge fuck you factor for publishing The Fandom Writer from being on FictionPress earlier that year as it was written from returning after attending Goth Convergence in Chicago. Janice Frank in 2004 while she was still alive; defecated on House of Spiders. I taunted, "The more you bastards flame on this one, all you're doing is giving it an even more potent sting."
