The first Saturday of every March something wicked this way comes to
Oklahoma City. It's the Underground Monster Carnival! This great event
is an informal gathering of horror vendors, entertainers, and fans put
on yearly by Art Sunday and his wife Stephanie. Housed in a building on
the state fair grounds, this is a vendor friendly event with lots of
space for each person to show their merchandise. As you walk along the
multiple exhibit rooms, you'll see an assortment of handmade art, masks,
clothing, and books; much of it locally produced. The great Count
Gregore serenaded the crowd and there was actually a real carnival
sideshow put on by Carnival Epsilon. This daylong event was a great way
for me to connect with several fans of my books and to meet new ones. I
was also able to promote my upcoming zombie novel Undead Flesh and show
off the cover done by Gary Berger at DBG/graphix. This was a very fun day for all. My only complaint was
that this event only happens once a year and I have to wait until March
for another.
