Friends of Eerie Books
Eerie Books was launched by Wylie, Texas businessman Randy Ray as a brick and mortar bookstore in October 2008. The bookstore closed in 2011, but the website remains online as a portal and information resource devoted to horror books and horror movies. Over the last few years, I've befriended a lot of great people online, and I've accumulated some other websites that are also related to the horror genre. On this page, I've included listings for both friends' sites and other sites in the EerieBooks network:
Allison Ray Designs - My wife's site. Some photos of the grand opening are live over there, as well as the announcement about our grand opening.
Allys Goodies - My wife's personal and family site. Lots of pictures of me and the kids here.
Angeline Hawkes - She's a local writer of the macabre. We were as lucky as we could be to have Angeline Hawkes present and doing a signing at our grand opening.
Arkham Horror - An informational site about the board game, Arkham Horror. I have plans to expand the site with information about Fantasy Flight's other games inspired by Lovecraft, Mansions of Madness and Elder Sign.
Best Ghost Sites - Listing the best paranormal, horror, and Halloween sites on the Web.
Best Horror - A blog about the best in horror, with articles about various subgenres and forms that horror takes.
