Mr. Pacione’s been on Temple of Dagon bragging about getting a story in Darkened Horizons, Issue 3.
This anthology has a story by Kevin Lucia and if you’ve not heard of him — pick up Coach’s Midnight Diner and read The Way Station.
Mr. Lucia seems like an awfully nice guy. As for Coach Culbertson, it’s obvious that Pacione idolizes the man. You’d think “Coach” had protected Pacione from Crazy Michelle at Gothicfest 2007, the way he keeps mentioning him.
I am going to be picking up a few more stories from Temple of Dagon for issue six of my magazine. I will be contacting some of you privately here to feature you.
Now we know where Pacione plans to find authors for his next issue. He’ll plumb the depths of Temple of Dagon. That’s right–the forum from which a moderator, Jesus Prime, went running to defend Pacione when Spinetinglers featured his story Spectral Exile. His reasoning was something along the lines of “Grammar and spelling be damned. It’s the concept that counts, not the execution.”
I chanced upon an earlier thread of his there and found this little blurb:
(Post date: 16 May 2006; Thread titled “Temple of Dagon author published in two places coming up”)
” House of Spiders 3 will pick up right where the first two stories leave off, I am also doing a contest for LAKE FOSSIL for those who do write fan fiction they can do some for the series.”
Wait a second… doesn’t King Twerpy despise fan-fic writers? Oh wait, I’m expecting consistent behavior from someone whom has yet to develop a frontal lobe.
He does have consistent behavior in some regards.
1. He keeps bitching and moaning about the same dozen or so people
2. He keeps using the same epithets and cuss words ad nauseum
3. He still hasn’t mastered compound words
4. He still threatens to sue people for loss of sales
5. He’s been sending people fraudulent PayPal invoices for years
I’m sure I’ve missed a few, but that’s a good start.
He’s consistently a hypocrite.
Consistently illiterate and butthurt.
Consistently “marble mouthing” Sounds like he is trying to swallow an erector set while attempting to be vocal. I especially like the video where he double takes the camera and then strong arms his own hand with the middle finger. It’s like he is actually rehearsing. Such class for an Editor, a Publisher, a proof reader, and a malopropism eraser.Not to mention an author, a religious zealot, an icon to the goth community, a homophobe, a racist, a mental midget and a laborer of love.
His books must be good if he turns down sex for writing. He’s been influenced by relationships with one girl (so he says) a mule, a rhino, a couch, a walrus…the sticky buttons on his keyboard, and the lint in his pockets…
Sounds like the workings for Typhoon Poor pussy 3.5 Sub-titled… House of Peckers 8.

I suspect that all those folk over at Dagon who support him so ferociously are making him the poster boy for their own failures.
They justify Nicky’s work because they know that their own is not much better and they have neither the discipline nor the craft to do better.
