His non-fiction has appeared in a wide diversity of publications, including NATIONAL REVIEW, CHRONICLES, REASON, THE AGORIST QUARTERLY, FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND, CULT MOVIES, WONDER and THE ATLANTA JOURNAL/CONSTITUTION.   As an editor, he has co-edited WEIRD MENACE with movie producer Fred Olen Ray and FREE SPACE with Dragon*Con's own Ed Kramer.   He also did editorial work on the special Heinlein tribute issue of NEW LIBERTARIAN.

His media credits include an adaptation of two Poe stories for Horror House (which was subsequently broadcast on NPR), original story credits on the movie JACK-O (whose production received publicity on THE PHIL DONAHUE SHOW), THE COMPETITOR (adapted by Atlanta's own Bill Ritch and currently available from Sunset Productions as an Atlanta Radio Theatre Company production) and, most recently, his screenwriting credit for the script of the interactive movie, TERROR AT TATE MANOR.

Brad has also made cameo appearances in the feature films ATTACK OF THE SIXTY FOOT CENTERFOLD, CYBERZONE, POSSESSED BY THE NIGHT, MASSEUSE, and DARK SECRETS.   And yes, he once did a scene with Kato Kaelin before he became America's most famous houseguest (Kato, not Brad).

And, of course, along with collaborator Dafydd ab Hugh, he is one-half of the creative force behind the best-selling DOOM novels . . .
