Mongrels #1 in Denver
According to the Wall Street Journal: And here’s the longer list, via the Denver Post:
Werewolves out in the World, part IV
The first three parts of this are here: one, two, three. And this part? Starts with “Rainy Day Book Porn,” of course: Which—those are some books Mongrels hasn’t shown up by yet. Cool. And, lest we forget the audio version: And, what’s weird, and maybe even unnecessary? To screen cap your (my)
Werewolves & the Dallas Morning News
Remember that amazing-cool review of Growing Up Dead in Texas the Dallas Morning News did four years ago? I do. Welp, just pulled into Dallas, picked up a Sunday paper down at the hotel’s coffee shop, and: Extended (and complete) interview here:Â http://www.dallasnews.com/lifestyles/books/20160520-from-west-texas-to-adolescent-werewolves-stephen-graham-jones-wild-ride-to-book-success.ece And here’s what you get on that 4E: Would have taken a picture
Werewolves out in the World part III
If you want to peel back the days: Part 1 of this Part the second And, would wait to post this until Monday or Tuesday, but the cool pics keep stacking up. If I wait any longer, this post won’t load. So, without me making this post any longer with boring words, let’s get to
Mongrels Q&A
I mean, I figured SOMEONE needed to step up, answers all Mongrels questions. Then I figured, hey, wait: that’s me. So I did:
Werewolves & Me
Me in my office, playing with all things werewolf related. At least those I could reach without getting out of the camera’s eye. Also some talking, some reading, some injudicious swaying from side to side, like I just spilled koolaid on the couch but nobody knows about it, and I really-really need to get outside, like
Werewolves out in the World, part II
This is the second batch of these. First’s here. So let’s start with: Thanks to Lesa Pascavis Smith on facebook for that. I dig how nervous the werewolf is—how not to be, right? Little Shop of Stories stands Mongrels up on the table, even: How Mongrels looks with cool boots: How it looks while being
Mongrels Promotional Fallout
Was supposed to be just, you know, fun. But then the news services got hold of it: from : http://www.opengravesopenminds.com/books-and-articles/ancient-werewolf-known-as-old-stinker-sparks-folk-panic-in-uk/ I don’t even know if it finally sold any Mongrels, really. And here’s a grab from the Daily Mail—much the same, just, without the Newcastle Beerwolf: from: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3591219/Hull-residents-spot-fanged-beast-human-like-features-nicknamed-Old-Stinker.html I mean, if you can’t trust the Daily Mail,
Werewolves in London
And all the English-speaking places over there—Aus, NZ, wherever. Turkey too, soon, but I haven’t seen that one yet. Anyway, to proper-launch Mongrels over there, SciFiNow talked about Mongrels—so cool: Click here to go to the there (here to buy it over there). And, talking this UK Mongrels, like, the artifactness of it, there’s .
Report from Santa Fe
Always fun, talking to smart people on the television: The click to go to the place:Â http://reportfromsantafe.com/episodes/view/366/stephen-graham-jones-author-mongrels-demon-theory/
A Werewolf Playlist
Not what I listened to while Mongrels-writing, but some songs that synch up well with Mongrels, I think. Which you can cue up just on Spotify, here*. Also, before I get to annotating and embedding and pulling my hair about because the versions I want aren’t available, etc, I also put together a Youtube playlist—different
What a Werewolf Drives
There came a point in writing Mongrels where I realized, DUDE: you can’t have them driving a Buick in two chapters in a row! Werewolves don’t have brand loyalty, they drive whatever’s at hand. So began what I call the travails: google-image searching for like two bleary-eyed, numb-fingered days, until I’d not only put all
Werewolves out in the World, part I
Didn’t think to start nabbing these pics until a day or two ago, so I’m sure there’s a lot of great and perfect ones out there. And, hope I’m not stepping on any toes, reposting them. If so, let me know? I’ll delete, or crop your name out (or mine?). Just snagged them off social
Torn: a Shock Youmentary
Wordplay aside, this looks to be pretty fun. So it only has one review? It’s a pretty good one, anyway. And I dig the setup: Coming across as a sort of Blair Witch Project version of hunting The Wolfman This is one I’m going to try hunt down myself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37BpGGZWxA8
Three Reads
Southern Gods A lot of novels out there, they play with the tentacley, the eldritch, the elder, but this one . . . I don’t know. It kind of does it, first, in a way that doesn’t seem like ‘play’ at all, but more important, it does it in a way that kind of
Boulder Bookstore
Always dig being there. I mean, I know so many people there, it’s a lot like coming home. And—should have taken a picture—always cool to see my older books faced-out on the shelves, of course: [here] Anyway—remember how, in DC, I had the kind of maximum amount of knife-drama, getting into the building? For this
Tattered Cover with Richard Kadrey
Remember how in Mötley Crüe’s “Home Sweet Home” video, there’s all these slow-motion, black and white scenes from before and after and during the concert, the tour, this life on the road? That’s what Billy Stratton’s snapshot of Richard and Kadrey last night at Tattered Cover reminds me of: What’s especially cool about that? For once
Library of Congress
Who’d have ever though a farmboy Indian from West Texas would get to launch a werewolf novel at the Library of Congress? [most of these pics are courtesy Deborah Miranda] I know I can smile better than that, too. But what you gonna do. Anyway, don’t let me fool you into thinking it was only me:
Mongrels interview
Or, This is Horror podcast? Both? I think so. Two-plus hours of it, so there’s enough for both titles, I think. Was a great time, talking to Michael and Bob—Bob who already reviewed Mongrels, here. Werewolf novels, they find the werewolf people, yes? Yes. Click the pic to go to the place, or, if it’s somehow
Werewolves in the ABQ
Do people say that, “IN” the ABQ, the same way people will identify with a certain area code? Really, I kind of doubt I’m the proper age to try it out, even if it is a thing. But the three-digit rhythm feels right, anyway. As did Mongrels at Bookworks: And, what was cool? They broke
Mongrels at the Cocteau Theater
Good time last night at the Jean Cocteau theater in Santa Fe: Here’s the write up of it at grrm.livejournal. Was my first time to try Mongrels out on people out loud. Always scary, but always fun, too. Also fun—pulling into town seeing this: Also fun, getting to hang out with this cool guy again: That
Mongrels merch
The talented and cool Figbar Lonesome, one of the early readers of Mongrels, has taken the time and effort to make some excellent Mongrels stuff available to us all at RedBubble and Society 6: And if your predilection is more for a cup you can plant in the middle of the table to show
WestWord, Young Werewolf
Both the coolest cover and the coolest write-up. Cover photo by Anthony Camera, write-up/interview by Jason Heller: http://www.westword.com/arts/with-mongrels-this-is-stephen-graham-joness-time-to-howl-7867605
Mongrels Events
Six days out from going on the road a bit with Mongrels. Here’s the where and the whens, in order from first to last, with a couple extras at the end, extending into June. And, all the images, click them to go the place: GRRM’s cool theater down in Santa Fe, this Saturday: [
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
Chapter one of Mongrels, a-live and kicking: Or: paste. http://a.pgtb.me/Pqw0HD/kRClT It’s on Facebook now, but it’s through Scribd, I think? So, there may be some more direct way to link/embed it, not sure. Scribd is new to me.
