January 21st was one hell of a physical media release day!
This Saturday and Sunday is the first The Dark Drafts Festival in Mount Joy, PA! Myself, Stephen Kozeniewski and nearly 40 others will be on-hand with books, booze and all the fun you could ask for! I'll have copies of most of my books, including my brand new one EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD.
I heard there's a post-credits scene in the new Wolf Man film where Dracula shows up and says, "I'm putting together a team...".
🚨🚨🚨SIGNED PAPERBACKS are NOW AVAILABLE at my webstore! 🚨🚨🚨 I currently only have ten (10) copies available for anyone wanting one. Go to wesleysouthardhorror.com
I never realized until now how much the "bag head" scene from DJANGO UNCHAINED felt like it could have been ripped right out of BLAZING SADDLES.
Another book event added for Mid-September... 👀 More info soon.
I am not a werewolf guy in the least, but I am a huge fan of Leigh Wannell and am really looking forward to seeing his WolfMan movie. I'm getting a bit concerned though because I have seen next to zero marketing for this film and it's out in two weeks.
I swear to God, I always feel like such a schmuck loser every time I try to film a TikTok where I'm attempting to talk about a new book of mine. It feels so unnatural and forced and I hate the way I look on camera. I don't know how people do this every day.
Today's mail. Been looking forward to this one for a while now. And I think the cover art they chose for this 4K steelbook is fantastic.
As of right now, I only have three book vending events on my schedule. Obviously that will change and more will be added, but here's where I'll be hanging the first half of the year... January 25th-26th: Dark Drafts Book Festival at Bube's Brewery in Mount Joy, PA (Continued)

I swear to Christ, toddlers would rather just pass out face-down on the floor after being awake for fifteen straight hours than actually lay in bed and fall asleep at a reasonable time every night.
EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD Coming January 29, 2025 from South of Heaven Press Cover art and layout by CV Hunt *Previously published in the DISASTERPIECES anthology*
I was recently gifted a book from a dear friend. This copy of Simon Clark's VAMPYRRHIC RITES was from James A. Moore's personal collection. I could have cried when this was handed to me. Jim was one of my favorite people in the business, taking his personal time so many years ago to talk with me...
Today's mail. I absolutely love this film and excited to own the definitive edition. Hard to believe it's been 25 years now. I still remember seeing it in the theater.
