Flashing the Veins sign: students in Michael A. Arnzen\u2019s Horror Writing class welcome the 21st-Century Scop to Seton Hill University. What a blast!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This week the 21st-Century Scop visited Seton Hill University<\/a>, where four-time Bram Stoker Award<\/a> winning author Michael A. Arnzen <\/a>teaches an undergraduate class in horror writing. The students are currently working on horror-related media projects, and Michael invited me to drop by to talk about plugging-in the ancient art of storytelling.<\/p>\n

It was a great time.<\/p>\n

After a brief\u00a0 summary of Scop 101<\/a>, I presented live readings of \u201cStep on a Crack<\/a>\u201d and \u201cEchoes<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

For\u00a0\u201cEchoes,\u201d I incorporated\u00a0projected stills from\u00a0the Rodney Altman<\/a> film adaptation <\/a>of the story. And of course, since it was a 21st-Century Scop presentation, both readings incorporated musical cues.<\/p>\n

The students and I\u00a0also talked about\u00a0Veins: The Soundtrack<\/a> and the Voices book trailer<\/a>, which features the art of World-Fantasy Award nominee Jason Zerrillo (one of my favorite fantasy artists).<\/p>\n

But the highlight for me was fielding some terrific questions about writing and media . . . and even getting a chance to pose a few questions of my own.<\/p>\n

It was a great time.<\/p>\n

The next Scop Stop will be in Morgantown, West Virginia, where I’ll be presenting at the Monongalia Arts Center<\/a>, 107 High Street, on April 18. The stories begin at 7:00 PM. Hope to see you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
