Uncanny Update

Clearly there haven't been any new shows lately -- but the good news is that Uncanny Radio is not gone.

Linda & I are talking about re-posting the old shows (some may still be up; check the links at left), though we agree that we need some kind of historical note at the beginning of each.  (Believe it or not, some guests may not have been telling the truth about their uncanny encounters.  And though we knew that all along, we feel it important to stress that info in historical rebroadcasts.)

In any case, watch this space for upcoming announcements -- like me on Facebook & follow me on Twitter, if you want -- and thank you for being a fan of Uncanny Radio!

FREE STORY FOR HAITI

FREE STORY FOR HAITI

The world has come together to help Haiti back to its feet after the devastating earthquake.  I thought it would be a good idea to give everyone a "thank you" gift for everything they've done so far — and to encourage those who have not donated to do their part.

Everybody who has donated to Haitian relief is eligible to download my Blue Kingdoms story "The Gift of the Dragons" for free.  There are three steps to claiming your free story.

1) Make a donation to Haiti. If you haven't made a donation already, click here to go to the Red Cross site and donate.  As I write this, the radio button for Haiti is the last one on the page (scroll down).

2) Publicize your donation. Make a post on Twitter, Facebook, your blog, or some other social networking site telling what Haitian relief  charity you've donated to.  Your post should also include the message:

Free story for Haiti @ stephendsullivan.com.

Which leaves you 95 or so characters on Twitter (more on other sites) to tell people where you donated and encourage them to do the same.  If you want, you can even reference this contest page directly: http://stephendsullivan.com/wordpress/?page_id=570.

3) Sign up for my newsletter. The story link will be going out to my mailing list, either in the March Newsletter or a special edition shortly thereafter.  (I promise not to sell your address/info or send things other than the newsletter & related announcements.)  You can use the form elsewhere on the site, or the one right below.

Name Email

The deadline for getting signed up for your free story is March 17, 2010.  (Shouldn't St. Patricks Day be your lucky day?)  The story will be in the form of a downloadable file suitable for use with a Kindle, computer, or other electronic reading device.  The last day for downloading the story for free will be March 31, 2010.

So, what are you waiting for?  Send in a donation and get signed up to get your free story today!

The Uncanny Continues

Just a reminder that even though there are no new shows, Linda & Steve (Manwolf) keep posting about uncanny subjects.  Steve on Howls & Growls and Linda on various sites including the Beast of Bray Road home.

Change in Posting Ability

Because of recent spam, we have had to change this account to disallow anonymous comments.  If I understand right, most users should still be able to comment -- especially if they have a form of internet ID (like Open ID or Google account).  If this does not work, email me through the contact setting.  -- Manwolf

Chupacabra Trophy

Likely just a mangy coyote -- but at least this time we will all have something to look at:

MonsterQuest, eat your heart out!  (Or watch for it next season.)

Muck Monster Footage

An interesting news report about something that may -- or may not -- be some kind of strange crypto creature. It even has a poll and some raw footage. What is the Muck Monster?

(I vote "none of the above.")

Not Dead, Merely Sleeping

Someone recently asked if this site was dead. Certainly it's not, however -- since our radio show has ceased regular production -- the site is in deep slumber.

Some of our later shows remain up at Blog Talk Radio (please support them!) -- but many went down with the crash of ZShare. Those shows cannot be put on BTR until they are edited to remove music we no longer have license to use. (Music not by our friends the Creeping Dead.) The editing is a time-consuming process, and both Steve and Linda are very busy. We hope some day to have the time to rework those recordings.

Until then, we continue to monitor this site and reply to comments. Also, Steve continues to post new reviews of uncanny-related shows on Howls & Growls.com, and Linda posts new things on her site, BeastofBrayRoad.com.

Thanks for all your support and your continued comments. We hope to see you soon!
