Motel Hell
I just sold a story to the debut issue of Red Scream magazine, a new pro market debuting this spring.
Writers David R. Williams and Richard Moore have joined forces as co-publishers and co-editors of Red Scream magazine. Red Scream's premiere issue is set for a mid-April release with short fiction by Tom Piccirilli, John Everson and Wrath James White.
"The focus of Red Scream is horror in culture and entertainment," said Williams, author of the cult novels Killer Asylum and Twilight in the Spaces Between. "The magazine will feature horror fiction by the newest voices, in-depth film analysis more akin to Bright Lights or Sight and Sound than say, Fangoria, and will look into the darkest corners of the internet."
Red Scream will be published five times a year. Each issue is 64 pages, with a full color cover and black and white interior.
Here's a reported table of contents:
John Everson - Grandma Wanda's Belly Jelly
Wrath James White - Feeding Time
Irreconcilable Differences - J.R. Cain
Motel Hell - Bev Vincent
Apple of My Eye - Amy Grech
Fall of Meltharon - David L. Tamarin
Voyeur's Reward - Darren Franz
Avoid Abduction/Learn Nitjitsu - Tom Piccirilli
Asha - Monica J. O'Rourke
When Pilgrims Clash - Rickey Windell George

What was the inspiration for the story?
If it had been published back in 2002, it probably would have made no money at all (small press, royalty only antho) whereas I got pro rates for it now!
Some of the details of the side-of-the-highway town came from a road trip I made with a friend of mine to haul a vanload of equipment to a conference in New Mexico, but that's the only real-world inspiration I can think of.
