are still not over. And, don’t mean to fake like it was the first book to pretend to be a novelization of a film (well, trilogy) that never happened—think Lem beat us all to that, somewhat, and I’m halfway remembering Coover having done something in that arena—but, glad to see it’s still going on:
I was sitting in a hotel room in Santa Fe, there for . . . I think I was doing a Percival Everett thing, along with Gerald Vizenor and I forget who-all. Been a year or two, or five or six. Anyway, Ellen Datlow got hold of me last-minute, said she needed a story yesterday
Wending my way through my school’s book-ordering stuff, and I thought, Wait, wonder if I’m in here. Turns out I am. Or, I was, eight years ago. I remember that year, too. I was wondering if I’d ever have another book out. Never really thought I’d have fifteen or sixteen out. Cool. Here’s to eight
Hey, could be the Shadowhunters season 3 writers have maybe been glancing off a certain yellow book, yes? Very cool:
Cool S.T Cartledge write-up on Zombie Sharks with Metal Teeth: Book Review: Zombie Sharks With Metal Teeth by Stephen Graham Jones
First two books I bought this morning, just out today: These are two of my by-far favorite writers. Excited. And, just read the first two Longmire books—missing the television series—and, man, Craig Johnson, he can flat out write. If you scratch the names off the covers, I couldn’t tell him and James Lee Burke apart.
Kind words from Eddie Generous, over at Unnerving: https://www.unnervingmagazine.com/single-post/2017/03/06/Review-of-Mongrels-by-Stephen-Graham-Jones
Nice Mongrels write-up: http://www.cedarhollowhorrorreviews.com/2018/03/mongrels-by-stephen-graham-jones_24.html Too, kind words/rundown for & of Ellen Datlow’s Black Feathers, in which I have a story, the title stolen straight from Robert E. Howard and Joe. R. Lansdale: https://www.sfcrowsnest.info/black-feathers-dark-avian-tales-an-anthology-by-ellen-datlow-book-review/
Always had the dream of walking through Birchbark Books some fine afternoon. Until then, being there in a book’ll definitely do: What to #read? Who to read? Start here.

Ellen Datlow’s new anthology, which I’m fortunate enough to have waded into, way past my depth. Here’s a few of us saying some stuff about it over at Kirkus: https://www.kirkusreviews.com/features/how-ellen-datlow-and-authors-i-devil-and-deep-blue/
And made it to me here in Boulder. Amazing-cool, thank you everyone who read it, who voted on it, who dug it. Now if I can just keep from dropping it. I almost just nailed it with a dog-toy, during a furious game of fetch, so it may have to be finding a higher, more
Was up in Minnesota a few weeks ago, got to talk to some very cool people on the radio:
Well, Mongrels showing up on a cool CBC list, anyway: http://www.cbc.ca/radio/unreserved/how-indigenous-authors-are-claiming-space-in-the-canlit-scene-1.4573996/indigenous-authors-recommend-books-all-canadians-should-read-1.4575751
Hey, cool—and thanks to David Tremblay for the headsup. Guess I’m  on some page NALS stuff. I’m thinking that snapshot is maybe from a keynote I gave at Isleta Casino couple years back? And here’s that keynote, from when I read it later at IAIA: Stephen Graham Jones from IAIA – Low Rez MFA (video won’t
Having some nice words about Haunted Nights, and “Dirtmouth’: http://www.darkscribemagazine.com/reviews/haunted-nights-edited-by-ellen-datlow-and-lisa-morton.html
I mean—they’re just laying down truth now, right? https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the-entry-for-webmd-on-webmd
@SGJ72 Stephen, we loved Mapping the Interior. And we loved taking it apart to see how it works!! A great read 👍🏼 pic.twitter.com/DAMHaTHJyD — Meredith Doench✨ (@MeredithDoench) March 15, 2018
So impossibly cool: My mock cover and spot illustrations for Tor Publishing’s “The Night Cyclist” by Stephen Graham Jones. Even though my class dropped the peer critique aspect of this project, I still had a lot of fun with it. pic.twitter.com/hLNKVZjEKn — Erin Satterley (@erinsatterley) March 13, 2018 WELCOME to my FAKE TOR COVER
Honored to be on the back of Laird’s envelope with these talented, hard-working writers: Kelly Link; Brian Evenson; Victor LaValle; Nathan Ballingrud; Stephen Graham Jones; Aimee Bender; John Langan; Donald Ray Pollack; Dan Chaon; Livia Llewellyn. If I were scribbling a back-of-the envelope North Armerican All-Star list of living writers, this would be today’s
Man, how I do love this movie. Was great, getting to talk about it with Rob King. Really? I could have gone on and on on . . . https://25yearslatersite.com/2018/03/14/interview-stephen-graham-jones-a-discussion-on-lost-highway-and-mapping-the-interior/
I ever say that CDance is the mag that published my first horror story? Twelve or so years back, I guess. Cool to see Chad Lutzke there, talking Mapping the Interior: Review: Mapping the Interior by Stephen Graham Jones

Hey now, somebody may have just read the moneyshot chapter of a slasher novel I just wrote: http://www.delish.com/food-news/news/a58598/jaws-open-water-viewing-this-summer/
Honored to be included. And, especially cool to get to hang with people and books I know. I’ve been on panels with so many of these fine folk—that makes it sound like I’m talking about elves—and . . . I did my doctoral work with one, I guess. Rode elevators and had meals with others.
