So together with my good friend Robert Rumery I am working on a collection of Poetry which we will release as an joint effort this halloween. His brand of introspective and gloom filled poetry mixed with my burst of extreme somber nightmares you've come to know from my work in The Pitchfork Diaries will leave you burnt and smoking in a pile of lost hope.
This is my last work before I begin work on my new Novel " Nikki".
The stage for " Return to Sender" The second book in The Family of Dog series is set and will be completed as well as the third book in the FOD series "The Reich" however this series at this time is on the back burner. So be ready for more updates on The poetry collection as it unfolds, I am excited and as dark as darkness falls..

Chopping down the cross,

THE FEAST (EXCERPT FROM PITCHFORK 2)

HERE IS THE VERY FIRST GLIMPSE INTO A STORY FROM PITCHFORK 2, AND NO IT WOULDNT HAPPEN TO BE ABOUT THE GOAT GALS....... OR WOULD IT?

The silence was broken with the crash of 3 corpses dropped on the white table cloth from what must have been a thousand feet above as the table and all of the candles and dinnerware busted and shattered in slow motion as the bodies fall in separate places on top of the busted ivory, the bodies burnt and still smoldering the pink flesh blackened with streaks of blood crossing their beautiful curves as if they had been whipped before they had been enslaved by flame. the smoke rising smelled of death a suffering never been written nor felt  like a crucifixion these souls had been dropped off in hell for vacation before they met true death. the overwhelming urges still grew inside of him he was rushed with the desire to fornicate with the burn victims he had never felt a rush of desire like this before he wanted to ejaculate on each of them in a mad rush of orgasmic  frenzy.

his eyes wide open the white room now cluttered with shards of burnt flesh and the macabre artwork of blood stains amid the feathers and white shattered ivory as he removed his clothes to feel the dusk of sex on his skin the cold raping his senses his body aflame with senses as he lie down flesh to flesh with the body Julie her name carved in her neck

right above a very small compass pointed north with logistics stating the corpse was of Canadian descent his eyes wandered onto the

Rape the hand that Feeds you

Pitchfork changed the face of horror in a single day, introducing the world to the new face of .

And I'm damn proud to be that face! If you have not read Pitchfork I invite you to dive in with your seatbelt on because it's a bumpy ride!

I am currently working on Pitchfork 2 set for release on St.Patty's day 2012. I'm hoping it will be my launch book for a new publisher.

I continue to get denied by publishers due to the extreme work I release and bad news is I'm only getting warmed up.

I'm working on something right not just for friends and fans nothing I plan on releasing in a big form.

A book called "Rape the Hand that Feeds You" it is a book of every interview/guest post I have ever done as well as a few that we're banned and refused. It will also include never before seen original Pitchfork and Harvest edits and handwritten notes and explanations on things you never knew about.

Lastly I hope you all have a killer new year I have 3 books planned this year and hopefully with a good publisher we can get my books in the right hands! I also have a horror convention in Denver in October ( more details as they develop ) and I'm hoping very much to make a very special appearance in Houston in the summer ( once again secrets secrets).

Call your local book store and library and request my work!

I cannot do this without you!!!!

Black is the new black,

Its not just me saying it!!! Read the reviews!!

When I was given the chance to read The Pitchfork Diaries for a review I was beyond excited. Not only did I have something new to read, but it was something new that was horror related. I read this all in one sit down, and have read it twice since then. TPD are a collection of shorts by J. Bannerman.

I personally have a soft spot for short stories, I love seeing how much someone can put down in such little time, and Bannerman exceeds in this category with flying colors. Very strong sexual tones, religious tones, and plenty of horror for any reader. The stories are worded well enough to tell you what’s going on and enough to let you mind wander and ask yourself “what if?”.

These stories have very good plots, and even better twists. Just when you think you’ve cracked into Bannerman’s mind and try to figure out how a story is going to end he hits you on your blind side and leaves you stunned for a minute. Quite a few of the stories started with me saying to myself “Nice, I like where this is going…” to me reading the last line and saying “Oh shit…”. For a short story to have that kind of a twist and just drop a bomb in the end like that, well, that’s just good stuff.

These stories are not just a collection of scary stories, these are not stories that will just give you goosebumps. These are stories that will soak in, crawl under your skin, and take you on a ride into something darker.

Note to those veteran horror writers, there’s a new guy in town… and his pitchfork is aimed at all of your necks. Do yourself a favor, read The Pitchfork Diaries, now. Before it becomes the next big thing and you miss the train to something bigger.

Needless to say, I can’t wait for Volume 2. Keep them coming Mr. Bannerman
