A Quiet, Well-Lighted Place
The Shining is great and amazing and permanent and iconic and all that good stuff, of course, but one thing it has going for it that very, very few other stories ever get is that it instantly activates our imagination—immediately upon hearing the premise, we put ourselves in that situation of being winter caretaker for
The Horror Crossroads
@AlanBaxter was cool enough to rig this together, as I’ve got the words, but not the photoshoppery:
At that Customer Service Switchboard
Man, this post plus the last one, you’d think I just troll these here internets, waiting for something that, to me, evokes one of my books. But? This one. C’mon. Having to work the call center for a defunct video game? That’s exactly the premise of The Long Trial of Nolan Dugatti: Nintendo support will
Demon Theory Days
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:
The Darkest Part
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
Eight years back
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
Shadowhunters & Mongrels
Hey, could be the Shadowhunters season 3 writers have maybe been glancing off a certain yellow book, yes? Very cool:
Zombie Sharks
Cool S.T Cartledge write-up on Zombie Sharks with Metal Teeth: Book Review: Zombie Sharks With Metal Teeth by Stephen Graham Jones
Late March in Bookland
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.
Unnverving Mag & Mongrels
Kind words from Eddie Generous, over at Unnerving: https://www.unnervingmagazine.com/single-post/2017/03/06/Review-of-Mongrels-by-Stephen-Graham-Jones
The Little Yellow Book that Could
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/
Birchbark
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.

Devil and the Deep
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/
Little House Crossed the Prairie
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
Good Thunder
Was up in Minnesota a few weeks ago, got to talk to some very cool people on the radio:
Canadian Wolves
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
NALS 2018
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
