Television:

Not television, but some kind words from various novelists:

"Astonishing. Douglas Clegg writes of...nightmares with such clarity and passion you don't end up reading his books; you end up drinking them in. The Priest of Blood is a bloody gem."
::Christopher Rice
Author of the New York Times bestsellers A Density of Souls and Light Before Day.
"Clegg's Vampyricon offers a bold epic of a shadowy medieval world and a dark tale of swords, sorcery and vampires in The Priest of Blood."
::Christine Feehan
New York Times bestselling author of Dark Demon and Dark Celebration.
"A master of the genre. Absolutely thrilling! Douglas Clegg is the future of dark fantasy."
::Sherrilyn Kenyon
New York Times bestselling author of the Dark-Hunters.
"The Priest of Blood is a richly layered, beautifully rendered foray into a past filled with sorcery and mystery -- and a rousing good story."
::Kelley Armstrong
Bestselling author of Haunted.

"The Priest of Blood is a dark, sensual epic of alternate history, grand mythology, and the supernatural. This is Clegg writing at his best. An absorbing read, an astounding accomplishment."
::M.J. Rose
Author of The Halo Effect.
"Douglas Clegg has become the new star in horror fiction, and THE HOUR BEFORE DARK is his best and most exciting novel to date. This is pure imagination, and it is wearing speed skates."
:: Peter Straub
author of Lost Boy, Lost Girl and the New York Times Bestseller Black House (with Stephen King)
"Clegg delivers!"
:: John Saul
New York Times Bestseller of Nightshade and Midnight Voices.
"Clegg's stories can chill the spine so effectively that the reader should keep paramedics on standby."
:: Dean Koontz
Author of the New York Times Bestseller The Husband.
"Clegg is the best horror writer of the post-Stephen King generation!"
:: Bentley Little
author of The Policy and The Ignored.
"Clegg is one of the best!"
:: Richard Laymon
author of To Wake The Dead and The Traveling Vampire Show.
"Douglas Clegg is a weaver of nightmares!"
:: Robert R. McCammon
author of Swan Song and Speaks The Nightbird.

"For decades, vampire novelists have been attempting to find the perfect blend of Fantasy and Horror. With The Vampyricon, Douglas Clegg has reached that summit. A work of dark, delightful vision."
::Christopher Golden Author of Wildwood Road and Buffy the Vampire Slayer novels.

Heroes:

Instead of heroes, I'm listing hobbies: bicycling, canoeing, hiking, sculpting, playing guitar, sometimes making candles, composing music.Our pets at home are all rescues -- a cat, a dog, and a rabbit. If you are considering a new pet, please go to your local animal shelter, pound, or veterinarian's office to both save an animal and get a great pet and companion.
