New (Old) Short Story!

A few years back, I was asked to be a part of an issue of Apex magazine with a story that put a twist on an “urban legend.” What came out was SEAFOAM. A story that really summed up my schtick. Raunchy, darkly comic and twisted as shit. I’d only wished it had gotten some more eyes on it. So now, that can happen! I’ve revamped it, gave it bad ass cover and slapped them shits up on the Kindle!

Here’s the rundown (from Amazon):

Jeremy, an infamous foot fetishist sentenced to a treatment group, falls off the wagon spectacularly when he meets Beverly. She is a “beneather”, one of an alien species living alongside us after rising from the depths of the ocean. Beverly has everything a man could want. She’s funny. She’s beautiful. She’s got great feet. But does Beverly’s reciprocation smack of a sinister and slimy secret? Will Jerry’s probation officer revoke his freedom before he meets a bitter, sweaty end? And more importantly, did someone remember to bring donuts and coffee to the 12-step group?

Yay! You can pick up a Kindle edition of SEAFOAM, NOWWWWW! It’s just 99 cents and free through the lending program on Amazon Prime. Head on over and give it a read or seven!

Already read SEAFOAM? Why not help me out with an Amazon review? Add it on Goodreads. Scream it from your rooftop and/or hospital bed! Seriously, share it with the world!

What’s Next For Amanda Feral…

I’ve taken her on as my new pen-name for all things smutty and wrong! Check out the first story, STOCKING FULL OF COAL here. And prepare yourself for a nasty, rug scooting, mattress humping assault as I unleash BALUSTRADE, an erotic paranormal trilogy this summer!

What’s Next For Mark Henry…

My first foray into the YA world is coming! On August 3rd (I believe), the Danny Marks story Vermillion appears in the YA anthology, Kiss Me Deadly (preorder now at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Indiebound). You can read more about it on the Daniel Marks website! Go!!! My first YA novel is floating around in New York at the moment. I’m praying that bad boy finds a home.

I haven’t abandoned my love of dark and balls-to-the-wall paranormal comedy and am currently working on a proposal for a new adult horror comedy involving a disgraced hollywood “it” girl, her cougar of a mom and trendy vampire gangs in the California desert. The working title is Flaming Creatures but who knows? Additionally, I’m partway through a horror-otica novel/novella that I’m submitting to an ePub. Beware of the creepy hawtness!!!

Thanks to all my readers and keep your fingers crossed for quick sales and filthy thoughts!

Welcome to Mark’s Little Corner of the Internets!

Here there be fictions of all sorts, pictures, many a blog post (mostly inappropriate), links, games, reviews of horror movies and even some original short stories if you dig hard enough. Mark also blogs at The League of Reluctant Adults (he’s a founding member) and NEVER at his original site, Burlesque of the Damned, so if you’re hanging out over there, it looks like he’s dead.

If you find you can’t get enough and need to stalk Mark on a daily basis (all the while knowing it’s perfectly likely he’ll stalk you back) you can join the Glamazombies, Mark’s crazy yahoo discussion group.

Make sure to check out Amanda’s page for her take on things, she’s also got her own twitter and myspace, so feel free to knock on her door (though we can’t be held responsible for her moods).

Soon there’ll be a super secret website for Mark’s young adult books. Shhh.

BATTLE OF THE NETWORK ZOMBIES is Out!!!

Summary:

In Seattle’s undead circles, Amanda Feral is one of the beautiful zombies. Of course, when you’re socializing with werewolves, devils, and rampaging yetis, there’s not that much competition. Still, Amanda has a stylish rep to maintain, which is getting tricky now that her tanking ad agency is obliterating her finances. The fastest way to make some cash: appear on a new reality show, American Minions, hosted by lecherous wood nymph Johnny Birch. Classy? Maybe not, but a girl’s gotta eat.

With zombie gal pal Wendy posing as her bitchy agent, Amanda settles in to “Minions Mansion,” crowded with 24-7 video cameras and undead fame whores. When Johnny is found incinerated in a locked room, Amanda decides to channel her inner Miss Marple (minus the fugly cardigans) and find out who’s responsible. Was it Hairy Sue, the white trash stripper yeti? Tanesha, the glamorous trannie werewolf? Angie, the Filipino vampire with a detachable head? Unveiling the culprit in a heart-stopping finale won’t just save the show from cancellation, it might just keep Amanda alive—or as close as a ghoul can get…

Care for an EXCERPT?

Here’s what people are saying…

“…will make you laugh and squirm at the same time.  Awesomely funny and bitingly insightful.  Fun, fun stuff.  I’ll never think of zombies in quite the same way again!”
–Patricia Briggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mercy Thompson series

“Clever, fast-paced, and so delightfully trashy that it should have been printed on Hefty bags, Henry’s third Amanda Feral novel smartly skewers popular culture.” –Publishers Weekly

“Amanda’s back and serving up her deliciously bitchy snark in the oh-so-talented Henry’s wildly bizarre whodunit.” –Jill Smith, RT Book Reviews
