It’s true. Nicky managed, within the space of a week, to get himself blocked from the Glenbard East Class of 1994 page on Facebook. Evidently, he started harassing the guy who runs the page, along with another guy. Others were getting annoyed with Nicky treating it like his own personal page.
I wonder if this means Nicky won’t be going to the reunion after all? 😀
I assume he’ll be too busy writing some abortion of a story where he gets pseudo-revenge on the entire class reunion. But this time, instead of a ripoff off John Carpenter’s “In The Mouth of Madness”, it’ll probably be a ripoff of Stephen King’s “Carrie”.
I’m sure Nicky will look very pretty in that blood stained prom dress.
His “stories” lately seem to be just him whining about other people now w/ most grievances from 10+ years ago. Of course he’ll name drop Stephen King in it though.
I quote Mr Pacione: “Ramsey Campbell insulted April Derleth also by saying she didn’t have a good eye for talent – she wouldn’t have discovered me.” I wish Mr Pacione would not continue to use April in this way, since she can’t respond. Let me repeat what I said about her. She did not claim any literary judgement – I can vouch for this, having met and dined with her. This is why she employed editors to choose material for Arkham House rather than following her father into that position – she didn’t feel qualified. That is the simple truth.
According to his “submission call” he also claims to now be in touch with her grandchildren helping to break them out in the market.
Mr. Campbell, my guess is Nicky’s claims about Ms. Derleth are highly exaggerated, if not outright fabrications. I also wish he would leave her alone, but I don’t see that as likely, He has always been a literary ghoul, attempting to elevate himself on the bones of writers who are no longer with us. His continuous glombing upon Richard Matheson’s reputation did not begin until after Matheson’s death.
I wouldn’t let it bother you Mr. Campbell. In Nicky’s eyes you are a dragon to be slain, and not a peer to be admired or listened to for your expertise. Nothing you say to him at this point would change his stance, and only add fuel to his considerable brain fire.
Sadly I think if H.P. Lovecraft or Robert E. Howard were still alive today, Nicky would likely have some pecadillo with them to go crazy about. Only in Robert’s case, he’d drive to Illinois and personally punch the shit out of Nicky. Bob was a Texas man. 🙂

Referring to his classmates, he writes (emphasis mine):
ROFL
Good to know Tabeth is ACTUALLY looking for bands versus looking for bands.
His behavior on the reunion page has me questioning his woe-is-me account of his grade school bullying days. Nicky really goes out of his way to play the darkity-dark dark overgrown goth freak. You know he’s sitting in his basement in his undies with cheeto stains on his fingers pecking at his laptop. So Goth. I’m not sure when Goths bragged about sleeping in hostels either (so they supposedly could make their own meals). He’s not going to any Goth nightclubs. I doubt his family even takes him out anywhere.
Oh oh looks like Eye in Shadows was falsely marketed as non-fiction. Tsk-tsk.
Nicky wouldn’t know Goth if Andrew Eldritch walked up and defecated on Nicky’s keyboard.
But he might try to use said scat to sign his books, the way he did with the blood he drew when he nicked a zit while shaving.
He really did that? I thought that was just something funny Jerrod put in his story!
Yes, Nicky really did that. Jerrod made wonderful use of it, though.
Aw, he’s naming his imaginary friends now. How adorable!
I’m sure Mary Sangiovanni will be heartbroken to have made NIcky’s childish wall of shame :p

Nicky’s blaming an unnamed Glenbard East classmate for passing around his novella length “guidelines,” even though he told his classmates it’s okay to pass it around. He’s never been shy about naming names before, even if he’s completely wrong, so he obviously has no idea who did it.
I’ll bet he’s already working on An Eye in Shadows II: Choking the Chickens.
Perfect title!
Glad you like it. It works on several levels. 😉
I got a laugh out of this one. Robert Champion was so smooth with his reply.

As does most everything.
