Good afternoon, one and all.

In the coming weeks, you’re going notice a theme amongst articles featured on many of your favorite horror web sites and blogs.

It is my distinct pleasure to announce THE LES DANIELS BLOG TOUR. For the next month, we’ll be “touring” the internet, “Guest Blogging” on some of the genre’s best sites. Our goal? To celebrate and recognize Les Daniels — his work, his varied interests, and his lasting legacy which still impacts the horror community to this day. We’ll be publishing two articles per week (Mondays and Thursdays) across the web, each piece paired appropriately with its host’s site in an effort to cover the vast and impressive scope of Les’ career. A full schedule of sites and articles for the tour can be found at .

Thank you all in advanced for your interest and support; we'll be seeing you around the net!
