These are from Mr. Pacione’s most recent Blogspot entry, which ran on forever.
I needed that because it would break up the stress of writing a non-fiction book, and this thing is at about 60,000 words on a 6×9 format. I am going for broke here when I am writing 3000-6000 word bursts.
If Mr. Pacione thinks that’s why he’s perpetually broke, he needs to have a discussion with granny. The phrase “money management” comes to mind. So does the word “work.”
I will not use the names of the assholes I hate in the industry when I write this book.
Using real names could be a legal liability. It’s best he refrain from doing so, for his own sake.
There’s a method to my madness and you don’t get that.
I probably never will “get it.” Sane people have trouble following insane rantings. That was addressed to Brian Keene, who I’m sure is a perfectly nice man. I don’t know Mr. Keene.
Now everyone wonders why I wear regular baggy jeans and basketball shoes, it’s because I am being honest with myself and write street level Gothic Horror.
I don’t wonder. My guess is that he’s just a flaky wannabe Goth. That, and he can’t afford any other clothing that would actually look Gothic. But, that’s just my take on it.
There is more to me than you see Keene, a lot more. You call yourself the bad boy in this business, there will aways be someone playing the bad boy game a lot meaner.
I don’t understand his obsession with Mr. Keene, and never will. Keene seems like a nice enough guy to me.
To be a good horror writer, you have to be a prick.
I thought you had to be able to write. Silly me.
Everywhere I walk, a tornado touches down . . .
I didn’t think his granny lived in a trailer park. If she does, I might be able to excuse Mr. Pacione’s behavior for three minutes. Otherwise, it’s inexcusable. Besides, trailer parks don’t have basements.
Entries like these make me want to scream for a couple of reasons: one, they’re too long to hold my interest; two, they make no sense. Anyone who wastes so many electrons should at least attempt to make sense.
Oh, it makes perfect sense if you remember that everything Pookie writes is masturbation. 🙂
I still think Nicky was the kid in high school who wanted so desperately to be accepted into either the goth clique, or the headbanger one, but they both rejected him, and he’s still trying to win their acceptance to this day. He probably isn’t intelligent to realize that those kids (well, most of them, anyway) probably moved on, and might not be anything like they were in high school these days.
As for Nick? Oh, for him, high school probably never ended. At least he doesn’t get shoved into the lockers while hiding in Granny Shirley’s basement.
“To be a good horror writer, you have to be a prick.”
Crap! THAT’S what I’ve been doing wrong all this time … I was only being a bitch.
Did anyone else giggle over Nicky’s claim that The Turner Diaries were ‘PC’?
That’s a helluva long post. I went to Keene’s site by clicking the link on Nicky’s post. I think the person calling himself “faggotkiller” might have been Nicky and I got the impression that Keene thought so also.
It’s not Nick. The writing was too clear. Nick can’t get out of his own way, even when he’s disguised. Need I remind everyone of the ‘I hate Pacione’ yahoo group he started in which he pretended to be a Pacione-hater but couldn’t resist defending himself.
I’m pretty sure “faggotkiller” isn’t Mr. Pacione; the person’s too coherent. It’s really difficult to fake Pacione’s style of writing. There are a couple of people who can make a good go of it (Phil and Mark Orr), but anyone else I’ve seen try fails on one level or another. Even after three glasses of wine, I can’t come close to faking Pacione’s style, grammatical errors, typos, etc.
I would venture a guess that “faggotkiller” is someone who doesn’t much like Pacione, and has some professional jealousy toward Mr. Keene. Could it be Philbin or Dagstine? Dagstine’s been a little too busy lately with the new baby. I don’t know what motivates Philbin. This is, of course, merely conjecture on my part, mixed with a modicum of logic.
Perhaps someone else has another idea regarding who it might be. I’m willing to entertain any theories that make some sense.
Good points. It leaves me scratching my head on it as I can’t figure who it might be. However, I would be inclined to wonder if it could have been one of Pacione’s cronies at Temple of Dagon. I have seen them rush to his defense a few times, such as a couple of times at Spinetinglers.
They have, but it still doesn’t explain vomiting on Mr. Keene’s doorstep, so to speak. And, if the person’s a crony of Pacione’s, why would he or she try to make him look bad by using that particular moniker?
Could there be a third party involved in this? Someone who just wants to keep the conflagration going?
That’s a good theory. I have no idea who it might be, though, if that’s the case.
And then, just after,
. So, let me get this straight… he’s paying money he could spend on getting a domain name (since that’s such a sore point for him right now) and spending it on sending freebies to people — and all they have to do is badmouth Keene? Well, shit, Nick. If he’s a new reader of yours, why don’t you try selling your books to him?taking money. Taking money. Ugh. Why isn’t there a ‘preview’ button on this thing?
QUOTE: “Could it be Philbin or Dagstine?”
No, I don’t know who that is. Some third party keeps emailing me stuff on the off and on, and today I was sent this. For the record, my Son has two God parents and they’re both Gay.
Nicest people on the face of the Earth, and they happen to use the F word themselves.
Thanks for confirming it’s not you, Mr. Dagstine. It didn’t really make sense to me that it would be . . . newborns don’t leave much time for that sort of shenanigans.
Sorry it took me so long to approve your comments; I’ve been sick as a dog today and only got up half an hour ago. I’ve got a lot of catching up to do.
No problem, Rusty. I don’t like having these conspiring email letters from Nicky on my chest… I see he’s getting close to finishing that book, and I just don’t want to see him hurt the woman with the child, talk bad about them.
But the child. That was why the Literary Bone closed. It really really wasn’t flounce. I didn’t respect LB anymore once I found out about the woman and the child, so I didn’t want to do it anymore.
Then I started using Nick for information and the “outlines” (ones he had not shared with Enck, like Eye in the Shadows) for the book. Then, of all things, I found out Tabloid Purposes had featured 13-14 year olds… I tried to get TP4 taken down, too, when I found out about the Kody Boye incident. I mean, that’s what Young Adult (YA) Horror Anthos, separate from regular ones, in my opinion, are for.
Kyle was only 12 when Nicky grabbed his story.
It’s odd that he thinks there is some kind of curse on those who go up against him. I reviewed toilet paper 1 and my sales have never suffered.
