Paradox Issue 12 is here! Excerpts of each of the stories, including my piece, Strange Fruit, are available on Paradox’s website. It looks like a great issue - I can’t wait to get my contributor’s copy!

I haven’t had as much time for online reading as I would like lately, so instead here are some good old paper and ink, hold-em-in-your-hands recommendations.

Wastelands: Stories of the Apocalypse edited by John Joseph Adams

The New Weird edited by Ann and Jeff VanderMeer

Paper Cities: An Anthology of Urban Fantasy edited by Ekaterina Sedia

Just to make a liar out of me, each of these anthologies offers one or more of their stories online. Follow the links above for try-before-you-buy goodness.

And last but not least, The Yiddish Policeman’s Union by Michael Chabon

The table of contents for Horror Library Volume 3 from Cutting Block Press was announced recently at WHC 2008. There are some very talented people on the list - and I’m there too. I’m just hoping some of that talent rubs off on me. The anthology is slated to be published some time later this year.

Amazon.com is currently running a special on several Permuted Press titles, including The Undead: Flesh Feast. Cheap zombies is good eatin’ - get ‘em while they last!

As of a few days ago, I am officially an Active Member of SFWA.

In other news, my short story ‘Fortune’ will be appearing in an upcoming issue of Fictitious Force.

That is all. We now return you to your regularly scheduled lack of posting.
