Horror writer goes dark for his stories - PittsburghLIVE.com
"When I look around me, I don't know why, unconsciously I'm driven to notice the gross things about everyday life we take for granted," says Arnzen, a past winner of the Bram Stoker Award for horror writing.

Look for us on 2nd Maura Solarium and outside the cafeteria!
A zombie-preparedness study, commissioned by Pittsburgh Mayor Tom Murphy and released Monday, indicates that the city could easily succumb to a devastating zombie attack. Insufficient emergency-management-personnel training and poorly conceived undead-defense measures have left the city at great risk for all-out destruction at the hands of the living dead, according to the Zombie Preparedness Institute.
Interested in getting involved in the Setonian, but hate strict time constraints? Want to be more creative with layout, but have a deep-seeded fear of Quark?
Perhaps the Setonian Online is for you.
There will be a preliminary Setonian Online meeting on Tuesday, October 25th at the following times:
1:00pm and 7:00pm
in the Productions Office on 3rd Maura. (You only have to come to one of them).
We will discuss agendas for online productions, story pitches, and promotions for the Online paper.
There will also be a short training session for those interested in doing web layout and production.
(Contact me if you want further training to assist in site maintenance and possible redesign projects).
"A laugh and a gag are the same," Arnzen proudly exlaimed during the reading on October 8th at DV8. He started by reading unfinished poems he wrote, asking for critique, though his intimidating blue-jeans and cup of coffee held the crowd to only compliments. The subjects of his poems narrowed from the nauseated eyes of a vegetarian in a restaurant, with Cow as its specialty, to a poetry book dedicated to Zombies. After the readings, Arnzen held a question period where we could openly ask questions. The questions came faster than the earlier critique; duly thanks to the departed fear of flying coffee and stains since he sipped the last of the poet's nectar from his cup. Other than the necessary, 'What inspired you' questions, Arnzen had two main points that blended together to create the motif of his work. Horror is all cliche[1]. It is the ability of a writer to manipulate and use language that creates the uniqueness of a horror piece[2]. Arnzen's should not be simply classied as horror writer, but he pricks at the feux pas of horror writing. He uses language to mutate horror into his own grotesque comedy; which can be noticed during a reading, when he laughs at his own poems.
He has a book reading and signing at Barnes & Noble, near the Mall in Greensburg, on the 29th of October: It'll be a Pre-Halloween reading getting us ready for this obscure time of death and dried crackling leaves.

Changing with the times - PittsburghLIVE.comYou would think Boyle, under whom the women's college became a co-ed university, would have been the voice supporting the admission of men to the Greensburg campus.
You'd be wrong.
