Listservs are available for Richard Laymon, Horror Literature and Films, and other topics.
News groups (http://groups.google.com) include rec.arts.horror (especially rec.arts.horror.written), alt.horror.cthulhu, and alt.folklore.ghost-stories.
There are many personal bulletin boards where horror topics (books, movies) are discussed. Vampires and zombies (http://www.allthingszombie.com/) are especially well represented. One excellent general horror board is run by Shocklines Press, at http://pub117.ezboard.com/bshocklinesforum. Another is Horror World (URL as of Oct. 31) http://www.horrorworld.org/.
Free fiction can be found at numerous sites (search for “horror fiction” or “horror stories”), including many author sites. One of the best is http://www.horrorfind.com/fiction-bin/story.cgi where the fiction editor, Brian Keene, is also a published author (see our collection).
If you need to know in what collection a particular story appeared, the Locus Index is one of the best places to begin: http://www.locusmag.com/index/0start.html. It covers both horror and science fiction. Fantastic Fiction (http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/) lists titles by author.
Helpful sites for authors include Ralan’s (http://www.ralan.com/) with Markets information (and places to avoid!), and the Horror Writers Association (HWA) (http://www.horror.org/), especially the writing tips page (http://www.horror.org/writetips.htm). Although the HWA costs money to join, there are parts, like the writing tips, that are free.
