Deadman's Tome July 2010 edition:
we are proud to announce that this edition includes an interview with Scale the Summit, an instrumental progressive metal band based in Houston, Texas. That’s right; they’re practically neighbors of ours. Consider that a little trivia fact. We also feed you a review of War of the World: Frontlines, an anthology that would impress H. G. Wells. Philip Roberts’ “Halfway Between” emerges us into a world that screams of Lovecraftian influence and ironically a tale featuring a character that reaps what he sows by toying with demonic forces. I’ve also included the third chapter of “The Master’s Torment” and if you missed the others or haven’t gotten into it yet it is perhaps one of the better ones. Whereas the first two tell the origin of Moranet, the others tell of the horror and contraptions he designs for his unwitting guests.

June 2010 entices you with a vibrant assortment of stories; hungry bloodthirsters creating havoc for the weary. Inhuman experiments snuffing the most important thing to humanity, extortion in the court of witches, and an enraged spirit that seeks vengeance for his untimely death. Unraveling secrets hastily consuming the life of those involved, a heartwarming curious tale involving pets, and more. From the top, we at Deadman’s Tome have arrange a couple of intriguing interviews for you this month, one of which with Holly G. of Broadsword Comics (Tarot Witch, School Bites), and the other with the Aim for Murder’s lead screamer, Kolle. In case you missed it, they’re the Swedish metal band that provided the background track for our first podcast. |

It is finally official, and those poor freezing souls on the east coast can finally enjoy the warming rays of a mid day sun, or perhaps the comfortable delight of a restless summer night.

We have more special features in this issue than we ever had before. This edition introduces Edward Rodosek's The Fatal Encounter, Ron Bruno's My Art, Broken Record by Phillip Roberts, When the Bough Breaks by Myrriah Hopkins, and The Master's Torment by Jesse C.

This issue marks the beginning of a new trend with Deadman’s Tome, no longer free. We know that this may bother some of you, but please note that the funds gained from this will allow us to actually pay the hardworking writers for their work, along with many other wonderful additions. When we first started, we opened ourselves as a portal for ambitious, dedicated, and talented writers, some of which were just beginning to develop their craft, hone their style, and even gain mastery of the medium in which they strive to express themselves in. We found ourselves... Featuring: You Better Behave by Terry J. Larson, Inky Beast by M. J. Nicholls, Haunted by K. S. Riggin, The Vampire Manifesto by A. D. Dawson, an interview with D.H. Wilson and much more... Download Your Free Copy |

Now February rolls around the corner with its usual bittersweet sense of romance. Filling those hopeless romantics up with a sudden surge of warmth, increasing the ease for those certain individuals that choose to take the dangerous and annoying task of juggling multiple lovers, all for the end result of acting out on love and its enveloping emotions. Rubbish. Those sucked into the current of Valentine’s Day may find themselves fooled once again. As a friendly reminder, here is an old post from an older friend. And, not to join the bandwagon, but the events in Haiti are beyond devastating. Unfortunate to say, but the recovery may only restore the idea of civilization, not civilization itself. Featuring: Imagination by Rick McQuiston, Debitum Naturae by Pamela Caves, The Charge by M.R.L and more... Download your free copy |

Deadman's Tome Jan 2010 |
A new year rolls in, bringing us just a little bit closer to another prophesied dooms day. How do I feel? Completely and utterly indifferent, it sets the stage for a theme that tastes like vinegar if poorly utilized, while it, at the same time, lures all sorts of monetary prospects. I hope this statement seeps into the dark recesses of any future contributor: We position ourselves ready to reject just about anything related to this curious date, unless it happens to be extremely good. Other than that, we are proud to announce another edition of Deadman‟s Tome. Michael W. Garza, one of the winners of the recent contest, presents another chilling tale. D. D. Bell grants us with a beautifully written story of revenge, and, of course, there is N. P. Miller‟s “Tempest Gardens”. Download Your Free Copy |

Deadman's Tome Dec 2009 |
The holidays loom just around the corner with thanksgiving shoved away for a frantic day of shopping that resembles the ancient days of savages. People fighting one another for items that seem too trivial to invoke such greedy response, much less be symbolic of any human instinct. Alas, here we are with another full edition of Deadman’s Tome ready for you to enjoy. |

Deadman's Tome Nov 2009 |
Starting the month without Deadman’s Tome (Demonic Tome) carries with it the tainted similarity of an alcoholic without vodka, a video game nerd without an over-energized can of something bound to be unhealthy, a vampire without the lusting for blood, and a 40 year old virgin otaku without a stack of animated pornography. In addition, the contest editions of Demonic Tome carry... Unreliable, Anne Willow Raven, Armistice Day, D. D. Bell, Bus Full of Dying, Chris Castle and many more. (Click to download) |

Demonic Tome Oct 2009 |

Greetings to all that read our humble little magazine of elicit horror, darkness, and quasi-demonic tales. It brings us pleasure to announce that we approach the 2nd month of our latest contest: The Month of the Dead. For those that wonder why month instead of months as it would actually seem to be, though the contest runs for a period of three months... Black Tsunami, Thom Olausson, Democracy, Lawrence Barker, The Cuckoo Clock, Jonathan D. Stiffy, and many more. (Click to download) |

This edition demands special recognition for several reasons. First, it sets off the Month of the Dead contest, which will run until Oct 25th, and we are granting you the opportunity to vote for your favorite story. The voting process couldn’t be any easier. Locate any link to the recent edition and along with it will be a survey, fill it out without any foul play and that’s it. Secondly, the issue premiers a new edition to the magazine, The Bleeder. Though I penned the focused piece, it is not placed so that I may make a name for myself. The inclusion of this work should provide a better idea as to what we are actively looking for in our search for serialized pieces. There was a time when we had a huge announcement in bold red lettering screaming for serialized pieces, and it was followed by a payment plan. Is this something we are still searching for? You better believe it.

Welcome Greg Gonzales, a frequent scribe for Demonic Tome, for he shall act as the primary judge and operator in my absence. Though I will be busy with other important tasks, I will be overseeing the magazine and shall have more time to be the manager that I should be. It is impossible for the magazine to exist without dividing the duties among those willing to help, and Greg Gonzales is our man. |
 |
With that said, I will not be contributing for a few months, and will merely act as overseer of the magazine. Honestly, that is how I wanted to do things in the beginning so that our readers can read the words of other interesting and talented writers. I hope you enjoy the July 2009 edition. One piece in particular is right at home with Demonic Tome, Suicide Game by Olivia Berrier. |

We are a month away from our official anniversary, and we are planning something pretty nice. For those a fan of Seth’s column, all I can say is that it will be very inviting to the eyes. For those a fan of the core content, all I can say is that we will raise the bar to a higher level than before to deliver quality entertainment. |

What is our fascination with those that are deceased? More importantly, what is our obsession with those that refuse to stay dead? The things that mirror us in the most primitive way, and I beg to argue that relentlessly, but defy what we consider to be the laws of life and once again walk with purpose. The things that somehow died for their savior but--God help them--made a pact with the Lord of Darkness to wander again in exchange for inflicting this hellish torment. |

Attention Metal Heads and those that are just passing by, there is a new voice to recognize, and I think you all will be proud. Check out my informative bits on various bands, and even though it is metal oriented it is not strict to the letter. I will introduce other bands and artists that have influence and similarities to that of the heavy metal that dominates my segment. |
