Teel's newest book:
Gaslight Magick is set in the 1890s in a world equal parts
Jules Verne technology and James Bond political intrigue. From the beginning
with a zombie lord to the end with a murderous djinn, and the Aztec God of the
dead, the story it is suffused with the intersecting magicks of many cultures -
Merlin’s, Persian, Aztec and more.
On his story in Hell's Highway:
Thumbin’ it is a story long time growing in the dim reaches of my
brain…..Being a city kid I never actually hitchhiked but so many stories of
hitchhiker murders, robbers were on the TV that it was a ‘thing’ that always
loomed in the edges of my thoughts. And I remember seeing the hitchhiker
episode of Twilight Zone with Inger Stevens always seeing the same hitchhiker
as she drove across country (it had been a radio play first-btw-) and I
thought—what is worse than a creepy hitchhiker?
A clown!
And why would a clown be there?
And there you have it; it really doesn’t take a lot of work to make a
clown scary…
