THANK YOU, SATAN
Dark Horse Comics celebrates the return of Hellboy to movie theaters this July with HELLBOY: ODDEST JOBS the new collection of BPRD stories from a hand-picked
cadre of legendary devil's advocates, including Joe R. Lansdale, China Mieville, Brian Keene and...John Skipp and Cody Goodfellow. The first collaboration between the phlegmatic duo, "Second Honeymoon," is an epic slugfest and tender
slice of monster romance, and marks a major milestone in the career of these intrepid underachievers, who will be unveiling more stupefying feats of literary prestidigitation as the year progresses (stay tuned...).
TOO CLASSY FOR AMERICA, PT. 2
They say that genius is never appreciated in its homeland...which conveniently explains why Cody Goodfellow can't seem to give away his best short fiction in the states, but can somehow secure a berth to mangle the mother tongue in the UK's premier horror fiction magazine, Black Static. His story, "Atwater" appears in BS4 alongside celebrated crumpet-munchers Nicholas Royle and Conrad Williams, and is available now, wherever kippers and Lee Press-On Teeth are sold.
VAULT OF PUNK HORROR
At long last, Vault Of Punk Horror
has escaped from juvie lockup and is burning an anarchy symbol on your front lawn just in time for Xmas. With an astonishing lineup (including John Shirley, Lisa Morton, Jeremy Robert Johnson) that handily offsets the unfortunate 12,000 word Cody Goodfellow novella "Breaking The Chain Letter," Vault is a monumental milestone not only for Punk Horror Press, but for Goodfellow, who has never wittingly done anything for charity. All profits(?) go to the Alaskan Women's Network, to help these doughty yet dainty pioneers in their battle with armored polar bears.
A (LOUDER THAN USUAL) CRY FOR HELP
Cody Goodfellow's short story "Baby Teeth" will appear in Dark Discoveries #11, alongside a new Tim Lebbon novella. A less sparkly milestone, as it may become the third periodical to die after accepting, but before printing a Goodfellow story.
UNLESS...Rock-ribbed supporters of small-press horror fiction step in and save it. Surely, you're saying to yourself, "I'm sick and tired of insufferable mooch writers sponging off me, but I'm only one man/woman/sexless pod. What can I do?" Well, Dark Discoveries is among the best of a dying breed (great horror mags that pay a decent wage), and is it's own reward, but they also keep gangs of starving writers from rampaging across the countryside, stealing pies off windowsills and ruining Klan rallies. If you buy a copy, Cody Goodfellow probably won't come to your house and eat your food tonight. If you subscribe, Cody Goodfellow will buy pants, so he can go steal food from the store.
REVENGE OF THE PHANTOM PORNBOOTH
Hardcore fans of erotic horror are already girding their loins and stocking up on Kleenex in anticipation of the lucky thirteenth volume of Hot Blood, which delivers the sleazy goods from a daisy-chain of infamous horror legends. Many are sure to wonder what editors Jeff Gelb and Michael Garrett were thinking, when they let Cody Goodfellow crash the orgy with "Magna Mater," a screamingly unsexy story about a pornbooth that eats people. From the press release:
Dark Passions: Hot Blood Volume XIII showcases twenty all new stories by some of the genre’s greats, including Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, Steve Niles, David J. Schow, Thomas Tessier, Ed Gorman and Graham Masterton.
Hot Blood has won the prestigious Bram Stoker award for best short story, seen in print in over a dozen foreign countries and has been optioned for a TV series. Its stories have also been used for the Showtime TV series “The Hunger” and “Masters of Horror.”
Dark Passions: Hot Blood Volume XIII ships in August from Kensington Books.
SHIT IN THE MEAT? YOU WISH...
Graveside Tales has pledged to deliver Fast Food, Slow Death, an all-new anthology of burger joint skullduggery, by August, and they're super-sizing it with artery-clogging interior art. Cody Goodfellow's story "The Playspace" will be blocking your colon along with special sauce secreted by DL Snell, MP Johnson, HF Gibbard and a host of other fry cooks with no vowels in their given names.
BARE BONE-ANZA!
Volume 10 of BARE BONE, Kevin L Donihe's avant-garde crime anthology from Raw Dog Screaming Press will feature Cody Goodfellow's belated Valentine's Day bodice-ripper, "The Love Parade," alongside eye-gouging antics from Tom Piccirilli and Jeremy Robert
Johnson. Available, Spring, 2007.
PLUS-SIZE PODCAST LOVIN'
The sublime sickos at Punk Horror, have posted the latest in their ongoing series of pustulent podcasts, and this time, it's Cody Goodfellow reading "Lydia's Last Liposuction", his entry in the 2005 World Horror Convention's Gross Out Contest.
Lydia's Last Liposuction. How much is too much? When it comes to love, lies
and liposuction, Lydia never says no... until it's too late. A buxom barfbag of full-figured farce lovingly guaranteed to make you lose your lunch.
In other Punk Horror news, Cody's epic novelette "Breaking The Chain Letter" will be featured in the upcoming Vault Of Punk Horror anthology due out late 2007. The collection will also include monster mosh madness from John Shirley, Caitlin R. Kiernan, Christa Faust and Ryan C. Thomas, and all profits will go to protect victims of domestic violence.

 John Skipp
Splatterpunk legend/musical pornmonger/frozen food terrorist John Skipp had this to say about Radiant Dawn:
"It’s like H.P. Lovecraft and Tom Clancy stopped by Thomas Pynchon’s house, on their way to perform some eco-terrorism with Edward Abbey and the Monkey-Wrench Gang, before hooking up with Robert Anton Wilson and Philip K. Dick to do some ‘shrooms.
The thing is, reading Cody Goodfellow reminds me of all these other writers and artists, whenever I put down the book. But when I’m reading it, I’m not thinking of anyone else. Because he doesn’t read like anyone else. Which is to say: he is a fucking original."

 WANTED! More fans like Captain Howdy!
After reading Cody Goodfellow's novella "In The Shadow Of Swords" at the World Horror Convention in Phoenix, the man in the lead barber chair at the House Of Hair had this to say:
"You're a hell of a writer. Either your research is staggering...or you're a hell of a bullshitter. Either way, the story rocked! I look forward to it's conclusion!" - Dee Snider
Cody then agreed to stop screaming, 'We're Not Gonna Take It' in Mr. Snider's ear.
