208 Interview with David James Keaton

David James Keaton's work has been widely published. His contribution to Plots With Guns #10 was named a Notable Story of 2010 by storySouth's Million Writers Award, and his (totally foolproof) casino scam in Crime Factory #8 won the 2012 Spinetingler Award for the Best Short Story on the Web. His first collection, FISH BITES COP! Stories to Bash Authorities (Comet Press), was named the 2013 Short Story Collection of the Year by This Is Horror. His second collection of short fiction, STEALING PROPELLER HATS FROM THE DEAD (Perpetual Motion Machine), received a Starred Review from Publishers Weekly, who said, "Decay, both existential and physical, has never looked so good." His first novel, THE LAST PROJECTOR (Broken River), was called "A loopy, appealing mix of popular culture and thoroughly crazy people" by Kirkus Reviews, and his second novel, the western PIG IRON (Burnt Bridge), was recently optioned for film. He has also been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, was the Editor-in-Chief and co-founder of Flywheel Magazine, and the co-editor of HARD SENTENCES: Crime Fiction Inspired by Alcatraz and TALES FROM THE CRUST: An Anthology of Pizza Horror. His last novel, HEAD CLEANER (Datura), was called "a nonstop thrill ride blending science fiction, horror, and a lot of humor, for readers who enjoy Chuck Palahniuk and Lauren Beukes" by Library Journal. He's also tinkering with several screenplays, including a prison movie, a thriller, and a western, and will probably adapt them into novels. He realizes this method is probably backwards. http://davidjameskeaton.com/ CORE Products: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?filters=100202_0_0_0_0 https://www.etsy.com/shop/MidwestResinGeek https://www.patreon.com/legendsoftabletop Theme music created by Brett Miller http://www.brettmillermusic.net
