So I logged into the iTunes store this morning and noticed that on the front page they’re pimping Joe Hill’s collection 20th Century Ghosts. It’s cool to see short fiction get this kind of promotion. As I’ve mentioned, I really enjoy wandering around at night and listening to horror stories. It’s been a while since I’ve done it, and I’ve been in the mood to get back into it, and I’d heard this collection was good, so I bought all the stories. I just listened to one of them, “Best New Horror,” and it was really awesome. Check it out. |

I found a new podcast that I really enjoy — Skeptoid: Critical Analysis of Pop Culture Phenomena. In fact, I enjoy it so much that I just listened to all 69 episodes in one day. I don’t always agree with the host, but the show is always thought-provoking, and the stories behind how some of these myths get started are often hilarious. Another plus: I no longer believe that the earth is secretly ruled by a cabal of subterranean lizard-men, so as you can imagine that’s a huge load off my mind. |

I just got an email from Sean Wallace saying that Rich Horton has selected my story “Save Me Plz” for inclusion in the 2008 edition of the anthology series Fantasy: The Best of the Year from Prime Books. The book will also feature fiction by Garth Nix, Andy Duncan, and Holly Phillips. (At least, according to the cover.) This will be my first appearance in any of the year’s best anthologies. |
