We Did It! Zac Thompson’s Novel “Weaponized” Will Be Published
A month and a half ago, we posted a story about ex-BD writer Zac Thompson’s body horror novel “Weaponized“. One of the big reasons we wanted to let you all know about it is because we want to honor and showcase what our ex-writers do but also because if Zac sold the most orders of his book out of everyone else involved, then he would get a chance to have his book adapted into a film from Crypt TV and Blumhouse!
It turns out that our support as well as the massive outpouring of help from his friends and other websites not only gave Zac a chance, it catapulted him to the number one slot on Inkshares and ensured that his book will be published and distributed in all major bookstores as well as Amazon and other online retailers. But more importantly, it means that Blumhouse and Crypt TV will now be eyeing his book as well as the #2 and #3 titles for a possible movie production.
Because we want Zac to succeed, we ask that people share this post and make it be known that you want his story to become a movie. After all, with some serious elements of Clive Barker and David Cronenberg thrown into the story, how could you not envision a film being something twisted, violent, erotic, and absolutely disturbing?
““It Follows meets Tokyo Gore Police”. After losing his virginity to a stranger, a confident but naïve gay teen contracts an STI that causes his flesh to transform into a living gun.”
If you’re interested in reading “Weaponized”, it has currently been discounted on Inkshares, so digital copies are only $6.99 while a paperback option is $13.99. You can pick up your copy right here.
I won. I came in 1st. My book will be published. I'm shaking. I'm going to puke. Thank you to everyone who helped. I owe you all my soul. pic.twitter.com/QqEroqaZOh

All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
