Well, 9:00pm some night in February: so, so excited this is back on, and that the tickets I got for the original/cancelled show still work for this one. One of my main dreams has always been to see Seger live. Here’s hoping this Denver concert really happens: Here he is right before he would have […]
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:
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
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/
Which I’m just now figuring out exist. This first one’s “On Cultural Appropriation,” with Anne Hillerman, Jovan Mays, Saikat Majumdar, and Yassmin Abdel-Mageid,  Laird Hunt moderating: And this one’s “Ancestral Cultures: Legacy of the First Nations,” with Crisosto Apache, Erika Wurth, and Janice Gould, Margaret Coel modding: Just became aware of these thanks to Bret Smith posting
Amazing-cool. So honored. Couldn’t be there this time around, but could follow along online, and with people texting. It starts here: Then a zoom in on the night’s proceedings: Then Rena Mason and Victor LaValle presenting for Mapping‘s category, long fiction: And here’s Paul Tremblay accepting, with Mackenzie Kiera behind the camera: Here’s a full
Hey, check the supercool poster for this—that’s me down in the corner: Was great talking with everybody here. www.thisishorror.co.uk/tod-030-the-state-of-the-weird-2018-a-roundtable-discussion-featuring-david-davis-helen-marshall-stephen-graham-jones-and-sonya-taaffe/Â
Figure everybody needs a Slash-hat, Ozzy-specs kind of author photo. Not that I’ll ever get use this one on a book jacket:
Was an honor Friday to speak to . . . I don’t know, four sets of about fifty or sixty kids at a time, I guess (I say ‘kids,’ yeah, but some of them tower over me, and I’m a bit not-short myself). Peak to Peak Charter School, over in Lafayette. Got to talk Stephen
Good time this weekend in snowy Santa Fe. That’s me in the slash hat. What you can’t see? There’s slashers all on the hatband: Guess Ghostface is kind of criminally tilted (sorry, Billy and Stu), and the jewel of them all is the werewolf, but slashers on a Slash hat is the real joke. Werewolves?
Anybody needs me tomorrow night, I’m in Santa Fe, wearing a whacky hat, most likely (because: any excuse): http://jeancocteaucinema.com/event/mad-hatters-and-march-hares/
And this time, CU put together the coolest little trailer ever: Click here for more info.
My . . . second time to do this, maybe? Always a good time. Some few snaps I searched up, from the three panels I was on: And a couple more, from Bret Smith:
Think I’m gonna have to make this an annual thing. Great time this long weekend, starting with me getting to my first panel late: It was “Haunts & Nachos,” but really it was Travis Heerman and me just answering any and all horror questions we could for an hour, whilst it rained and stormed outside—this
have been full of events. Feels like I haven’t been wheels-down since Denver Comic Con, about. Had three deadline stories to jam down along the way, and trying to finish a novel besides. But, of course: wouldn’t have it any other way. Anyway, at Tattered Cover Lodo . . . last week, I think it
I remember, roundabout . . . 2009, 2010? sitting in the back room of a comic book shop with a lot of the people who would go on to make DCC, and we were talking about what if we did something, some event, do we think anybody would come? Turns out, 115K people will, yep.
And, you can’t tell, but I’m standing on an actual red carpet, here. My first ever red carpet. Talking to John Palisano before the Stoker banquet on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, for StokerCon 2017.
It was the best of times . . . and then it got really good. Was here for StokerCon 2017 this weekend: But I never really saw it from that exact angle, or all lit up like that. Really, here’s the angle I saw it from: That’s me reading “Dear Final Girls” at the Shades
Top row: Nnedi Okorafor, Kij Johnson, Steven J. Mariconda and Peter Straub Bottom row: some dude, Ellen Datlow, Richard Stanley and John Jude Palencar Artist: Michael Bukowski
With no variant covers! What you saw was what you got: [ wish I knew who drew this like it was nothing, when, actually, it’s everything ] You know George RR Martin tells that story of having the first ticket to the first comic con? That’s how getting to be a guest here feels to me: like
Looks like this is the second Stanley Hotel post I’ve done here (the first). This time it’s for teaching, though. Also? Every single place I go on CU campus—bulletin boards, monitors, displays—I’m looking back at me: This is that click. And, for the media fun, here it is on the front page of Boulder’s Daily Camera,
