At the back of The Ushers book, there is a section called "Future Projects". I was wondering if someone could shed light on these and if any had seen the light of day under another title:

Strangle Me
C.I.
Bag of Boy
White House Counsel

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately I don't own a copy of the The Ushers so I wouldn't know but, I do know he's had some great ideas for stories which as of yet haven't come to fruitation. ( The Big Head Autopsy, hint, hint!!)

Actually, the more I think about it, C.I. is probably City Infernal. The rest still elude me.

Not to mention he has had many book which name has changed along the way. Those shown in the back of The Ushers could have already come about under a different title.

yeah i'm agreeing on the C.I. meaning city infernal and i can only assume that the white house counsel was released as haunted house: and other presidential horrors? maybe maybe....i don't know

In addition to the great stories, I get a kick out of THE USHERS due to the list of future projects, the missing page and a half from "The Horror of Chambers" story and the announcement in 1999 that MONDO ZOMBIE was "coming soon" from Obsidian. (MONDO ZOMBIE finally arrived in 2006 from Cemetery Dance.)

Wow: more blast from the past stuff! Of the "future projects" I'm sorry to say that none will be written. Strangle Me turned out to be too depressing; White House Counsel was my farcical idea about fictionalizing the Vince Foster conspiracy hookum, Bag of Boy was another howler, a "non-fiction novel" that I dramatized based on the experiences (and more than likely B.S.) of a guy I used to work with who'd been a heroin addict; and C.I., believe it or not (yet another non-fiction novel) is a book I wrote (about the sister of a girl I dated who'd been a crack addict and prostitute) which turned out pretty good or at least I thought so, but, lo, I could never sell it. (The C.I. stood for Confidential Informant, and now that I think of it, there are probably A HUNDRED books with the same title.

But thanks for asking!
