Talking about An Eye In Shadows will an awkward thing but in the shadow of the myspace mom incident, I have to mention the book out there telling my story about dealing with these kind of people does exist and I've been on the receiving end of vicious cyberbullying.
The video I did on here also corresponds with this book, but I am saving the more controversial details of the book for in the book itself. It is available for $13.95, and 29 pages of the book can be read for free on here.
Over the years I've been on the receiving end of yellow journalism which was being passed off as fact by places such as Encyclopedia Dramatica, Stupid Free, and shit blogging sites like that for a long time. It made me sick how much people would go around doing sites like that. I am introducing myself as the author of this book and soon it will have the ISBN so it can go on Amazon.com but right now you can get it on lulu.com.
Different of cyber-bullying are drawn in this book in a very dark light, it also contains some malicious blogs of people who went around violating copyrighted material I created too as far as posting it everywhere when it is watermarked like it belonged to them. From message boards like The Other Dark Place will be mentioned here too because they would go around stopping at nothing to see what kind of examples they can make out of authors who don't like them.
I mentioned other accounts of things like this in the book but it might have harsh language that will be rather unsettling to some readers so the recommended age for this book is at least 18 years of age. Though there is no sexual content in this thing.
I am a gothic author so there will be some dark imagery in this book too. Talking about An Eye In Shadows will an awkward thing but in the shadow of the myspace... more

I am Nickolaus Pacione, a horror writer who was featured at Gotihcfest 2007 and this is a short story write up for an anthology that I got featured in. Also in this anthology is a writer I found in an anthology I bought prior to Gothicfest to invite the publisher of the anthology with me as a signing mate for the event. I don't regret it one bit, and I am giving more information about the anthology here. I was featured in there as the closing story titled "Damnation Observes" and this is edited by Jordan Bobe of Indianna.
Horror for me as a writer is in the vein of Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, Stephen King, and Richard Matheson to name a few of the core influnces who've shaped my style of horror fiction. Damnation Observres for me is a bizarro horror story that is written entirely clean. No sexual content, graphic lanuage of swearing for that matter. I've been published on different small press magazines and also in the paying market a few times with respective short stories in horror, Science Fiction, and some true ghost stories here and there.
I was discovered by an author named Nicholas Grabowsky in 2004 and was published on EbooksOnDisk.com in their anthology Reality Check: An Anthology Of Horror. Been e-published since the age of 20 so that gives you some idea how long I've had a website. I was working on horror since the age of fourteen, did a wide range of horror styles but I will not touch erotic horror with a ten foot pole as a writer. I toyed with horror from an explicit violent style to a quiet horror approach on a few stories. Even Science Fiction for me will range from creature fiction to Cyberpunk Fiction (the cyberpunk style for me is something that comes almost quite easy because I've been raised around electronics and technology.)
I did Gothicfest 2005 as a signing author, the first author they got on board then I got on again for 2007's incarnation where I met two members of the Current TV video crew. I would like to see them do more with the writers instead of writing them off as vendors. Gothicfest is a unique festival in the sense it also brings writers together too. Jeff was originally going to make the festival something for bands, but I suggested to him that he also brings in the small press authors who normally won't get books carried in bookstores (reason being the technology the books are published with is known as a print on demand.)
I grew up in Glendale Heights and Roselle, Illinois. Horror for me was drawn from DuPage County's macabre history. I am very candid when sharing macabre details as Joe and Reme knew from Gothicfest 2007. I was very candid about Billy Porras' homicide, and the scars on the back of my head (from when I got stabbed) and the disfigured left index finger from a factory accident.
I published my work with lulu.com myself originally then my publishers started using lulu.com to get their work out there. Naked Snake Press started to embrace what Lulu.com had to offer and published longer books hence their imprint NSP Books. This is home of my third installment of the House of Spiders series, and this is co-written by Barb Shenouda. I will let her introduce herself later on here as some of my Tabloid Purposes line ups will eventually do the same when they start figuring out the video technology to really have fun with this.
I mentioned Tabloid Purposes IV briefly on here so you can go ahead and check that out. Especially if you fall more on the Harder side of Gothicism. Tabloid Purposes is what they call the print version Tales From The Hard Side. I grew up on heavy metal music and Biohazard is one of my influences for the darker horror approach I began to write and love doing.

Going more into detail what I am looking for as far as fiction goes for Ethereal Gazette: Issue Seven. The last video I did I was very sketchy about it -- and I do again apologize for that. Everyone was rushing me and here's the complete details for issue seven. This is the local author issue and I will consider authors from the Chicago area as long they don't write erotic content of any form.
Horror, science fiction, weird inspirational, and science fiction (not space opera damn it) being between 2200 words to 8800 words (the minimum is 4400 words and the maximum being 16,000 words.) I am a paying market but not a high paying one (I pay for stories via PayPal.) If you're an author who writes horror, science fiction, and other genres I am looking at fiction here but no sexual or alt romance of any kind. Weird Inspirational Fiction or Weird Inspirational in general is if you come from a Christian background but read authors like Richard Matheson and intrigued by shows such as Coast to Coast AM. I won't serialize a longer story just will have it as the closing story in the magazine.
This isn't too hard to get submissions for this, right?
I guess with blogger "watch dogs" who support the mid-list bastards who go around sabotaging other publications that I've done it is more a challenge these days than most. Especially since one asshole went and created a fake Ethereal Gazette: Issue Seven on Wordclay.com and a fake Tabloid Purposes V. They so want me to close shop but I refuse to close. This is the real McCoy. You're getting the submission details right from the source.
The submission window for this one is open a hell of a lot longer than Issue Five was because I had a system failure, and these things often kill a small press but it won't destroy mine. Literary Fiction I am looking for this but as long it has a weird fiction tinge behind it. Nothing perverse, but yes I will look into controversial subject matters from the hip hop, Gothic, and other subcultures represented in Chicago as long it isn't what I think it is.
I want pro-Christian friendly stories as well as the agnostic front too. Just keep in mind I want no alternative sexuality laced fiction of any form. I encourage the Shatner on the Plane style here so if you get stuck think Richard Matheson.
send to etherealgazette@gmail.com (stories as .doc or .rtf files.) Chicago area authors are the exclusive market for Issue Seven. Christian authors expecially welcome this time around. As in if you have a testamony from a dark background you're welcome to send it -- to mix things up with the horror stories.Editor: Nickolaus Pacione

Anthology edited by Nickolaus A. Pacione and those who don't know who he is. The author was featured at the 2007 incarnation of Gothicfest. It features some of the most talented authors the small press had seen yet, but at the same time the book had been the subject of a book burning via youtube. It is now available on Amazon.com and BN.com but you can grab it from Lulu.com or ask for it at your local book store.
Horror in the vein of Richard Matheson, Stephen King, H.P. Lovecraft, Algernon Blackwood and H.G. Wells live in these pages but all by newer established authors including Ken Goldman, Everrette Bell, Terry Vinson, S.G. Cardin, Casey Gordon, and a never before published story by the editor himself.
What Pacione wanted with this book are short stories that scared the living fuck out of whoever read the book. Trailers will be uploaded soon to either Current, MyspaceTV, Google Video or YouTube.com within the next few weeks. Tabloid Purposs was available as a trade paperback (6 x 9 Black Light Edition) in 2007 as the black light edition but now it's an entirely different looking size and entity, as a 6.14 x 9.21 trade paperback.
The book was unleashed at Gothicfest 2007 at midnight on Friday. The photography on the covers are of the Chicago Board Of Trade, inside the observation deck of the Sears Tower, and the bean of Millennium Park. This is the fourth installment of the series and he's looking for stories to be considered for Tabloid Purposes V. This will be the cyberpunk installment.
Horror as Tabloid Purposes there is a lot of controversy around the series and its editor. The flack the editor gets is one of those that went on for a number of years including people setting torch to the book via youtube.com and to an anthology he did which the proceeds went to American Red Cross.Anthology edited by Nickolaus A.
