Night Time Logic with Daniel Braum

Welcome to Night Time Logic, my new column for Cemetery Dance Online. Thanks to Norman Prentiss, Richard Chizmar, Blu Gilliand, Kevin Lucia, and the entire Cemetery Dance team. Cemetery Dance played a pivotal role in my education and exploration of horror so it is a thrill to be able to participate and share in the fun, the wonder, and the horror of it all in this forum.

KGB Bar hosting Cemetery Dance author Daniel Braum for livestream reading event!

Daniel Braum, whose debut novel The Serpent’s Shadow was released by Cemetery Dance in 2019, will be part of a live reading event from the KGB Bar beginning at 7 p.m. EST (6 p.m. CST) on Thursday, March 18.

The Serpent’s Shadow is set in Cancun in 1986. Mayans and Mexicans are fighting each other using strange powers they do not understand. A young American, alive with his first taste of star-crossed love, finds himself caught in the crossfire. Who is the mysterious and deadly White Lady murdering tourists? What strange, otherworldly things wait in the jungle? Will our young hero beware or heed Saint Death’s call?

Braum will be joined by Robert Levy, author of Anais Nin at the Grand Guignol.

Watch the event live on YouTube on March 18!
