Clicking through stories for bad links, I refound this one, and, man, it’s got to be the coolest-formatted story I’ve ever had come up on these internets. I wrote this story back in . . . I’d guess about 2001, maybe? Possibly even earlier. Cool it’s still around: And, that’s just a screencap. Click it

It’s so jacked up. It’s also—”it” being my tribe’s retention of it—why Mapping the Interior and its kind-of follow-up (to come) never once say “Blackfeet”: because of current policy, I don’t think it’s a big enough term. Anyway, Robert traces through it in a compelling way here, once you click through: I, along with my
Author appreciation tweets, day 3 of 10: @SGJ72. One of the most versatile writers in the game. A unique, powerful voice and a mellow, humble man who’s a pleasure to talk to. A master of horror, crime, bizarro, and everything in between. Oh, and Mongrels is a masterpiece. pic.twitter.com/VDEZx9n79j — Gabino Iglesias (@Gabino_Iglesias) May 24,

They’re the best: Reasons to pick up a novella: literally pocket sized (for you or your friends). Also great reasons: *Quick-read style of a short story *But with novel depth *Great price *Great variety (check out some of our faves from @tordotcom in our SFF section)#bookshopshenanigans pic.twitter.com/mk7mhlXFRT — Bookshop Santa Cruz (@BookshopSC) May 17, 2018

@AlanBaxter was cool enough to rig this together, as I’ve got the words, but not the photoshoppery:
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
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:
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
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/

So impossibly cool: My mock cover and spot illustrations for Tor Publishing’s “The Night Cyclist” by Stephen Graham Jones.

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.

Yeah, Twitter, like everything else, is imperfect, but when you see it crowdsourcing like this—just random people dogpiling a question—then it’s a bit closer, anyway (also? been researching this stuff for a story, so, was lucky to stumble into this): What’s the weirdest thing you remember misunderstanding as a kid?

I think this will be only the second cat-related thing I’ve ever posted in all my internet years (before then, it was just leaving cat-related stuff on utility poles, I guess) (which I was a fiend for). The other is this Mapquest cat, whom I so completely identify with. This is maybe even cooler, though:
