My Writing Bewilders and Confounds . . . and other stuff

Posted in News, Writing tagged , , , , , , , , , , at 7:13 pm by stephaniescarborough

Found a review that mentioned my story, “Keeping Things in Order,” that appeared in the Oct. ‘07 issue of The Harrow:

Stephanie Scarborough brings the next story, Keeping Things in Order, which is one of the strangest stories I can remember seeing in this magazine. Strange in the sense that it is a not terribly well-written story, structured like a B-movie, about a walled-off town populated by B-list actors and plagued by radioactive zombies. The protagonist is Mary Beth, a “troubled teen” actress and the town’s only unicorn-riding zombie hunter, who has to deal not only with the (not very scary) zombies constantly erupting from the cemetery but also with the “Z-listers” of the Save The Zombies Alliance. It really is as silly as it sounds. I suppose this is all deliberate, that the B-movie structure and style is a metaphor for the shallowness of Hollywood horror films (or something), and that the quality of writing, far from being poor, is in fact perfectly crafted to simulate the shaky dialogue and info-dumping of most zomcom fare. I suppose I just didn’t get the joke. Sorry. My bad.

My writing confuses and confounds another critic! Success!

Uh, I guess it eventually got positive. The story was, in fact, structured to be ridiculous, like an old ’40s poverty row flick.

The review is is from a site called Web Whisperin’. I’d link to them, but their bandwidth is exceeded, so the site doesn’t work. :-(

Oh, and check it out. A concert review I wrote is up on West and Clear. Hopefully I’ll be writing more for them in the future!

And, CROQ #12 is in production right now, and will have zine reviews and a how-to article by me. Sweet!

Also . . . Cerveauxxx Quatre (#4) is now available for purchase at Gimme Brains Distro. Click on “my zines” and scroll down to find it. A flash piece of mine about zombie love appears in it.

That’s all for now. Time for my nose to get re-acquainted with the grindstone.
