New Author Photo March 2011
New author photo. Really needed a pic of me smiling (that wasn’t from 2007) for the Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy site.
New Author Photo
I shaved my head and took a picture of it, and I liked the picture enough to use it as my new author photo:
Living Dead 2 Book Launch at McNally Jackson
Here are some photos from our zombie panel at McNally Jackson bookstore in SoHo to celebrate the release of The Living Dead 2.
Matt London (“Mouja”), John Joseph Adams (editor), David Barr Kirtley (“The Skull-Faced
City”), Bob Fingerman (“The Summer Place”), David Wellington (“Good People”)
Topics included: Favorite zombie movies. Fast zombies vs. slow zombies. Infected living vs. walking dead. Zombie mashups. Zombie survival strategies. Plausibility issues with zombies. Zombies as metaphor. And finally, why is it considered gross to have sex with a zombie but not a vampire when aren’t they both just animated corpses and isn’t that discrimination?
Alpha Workshop 2010 Photos
Here are some pics of me from this year’s Alpha workshop. Thanks to Sarah Hollowell for snapping these.
Reading my short story “The Ontological Factor” at Confluence
Glaring at someone — probably named Katie — who was late reseating herself
after intermission. And, as always, I’m surrounded by romance and mystery.
Am I really that much taller than Sarah Wood? Man, that’s crazy. This looks like some
weird Peter Jackson-style forced perspective shot. In other news, Cthulhu lives.

Just working on my laptop…
John Joseph Adams Odyssey Workshop
So John Joseph Adams just announced that he’ll be lecturing at Odyssey. Unless something else comes up, I’m planning to tag along with him, so if you go to Odyssey next year you’ll get to meet/hang out with me for a day or two too. I attended Odyssey back in 2001, and to this day some of my best friends are people I met through the workshop. Here’s our class photo. (I’m the guy with the long hair on the far right.)
While I was digging up that photo, I came across a few other old photos I thought I’d share. So here’s me at my very first Worldcon with some of my Clarion buddies, Mike Canfield, Toby Buckell, and Tom Gerencer:
And of course, here’s one of me receiving the Medal of Honor. Wow, seems only yesterday…
New York Review of Science Fiction Reading Series July 2010 Photo
Here’s a photo from July’s New York Review of Science Fiction Reading Series at the SoHo Gallery for Digital Art, which featured Paolo Bacigalupi and Saladin Ahmed. Unfortunately (or fortunately, I guess, depending on your point of view) my face is substantially eclipsed here by the sexy cranium of Chris Cevasco. More photos here.
Read My Story “The Skull-Faced City” Free Online
My story “The Skull-Faced City” is among the free samples over at the newly-launched website for the zombie anthology The Living Dead 2:

This is a sequel to “The Skull-Faced Boy,” so definitely read that one first:

New Author Photo – August 2010
New author photo:
Today it occurred to me that I could probably use my Macbook’s built-in camera to record myself performing my stories. I tested it out, then started experimenting with different backdrops (bookshelves, blank wall, etc.). I dragged over my lamp to try out some dramatic lighting for reading a horror story. I accidentally ended up with this lighting here, which I thought looked kind of cool, so I snapped a few pics using Photo Booth, and I liked this one enough to throw it up on my site as my new author photo. Some people were giving me crap recently because my author photo was from way back in 2007, so I hope you’re all happy now.
Dave and Hobbes Lying on the Couch
I’m going through some old discs looking for early stories, and I came across this photo of me and Hobbes. I think I’m about twenty here:
So I copied the pic over to my new laptop, where it just happened to end up in a folder near this photo from last year:
Plus ca change…
