Zombie News
Man, was at the gym long about 11:15 yesterday, just having a good time reading a JS Breukelaar collection and sweating on various torture devices, when I got a call that maybe I could clean up and drive into my office on campus (like, MILES away) by noon, to talk to the newspeople for a
Radioland
Got two radio interviews next week, had either one or two this week. Here’s one that got archived. Just three minutes or so. KOA on the AM, Colorado: https://app.criticalmention.com/app/#/clip/public/d2716ff1-0092-4ea2-b2e7-31777570737a

It’s Almost October . . .
I’m still working on my October TBR, and I’m finally reading this collection. 😍 I actually have a few short story collections lined up for October. I love them. I’ve been wanting to read this one for a long time. 🎃 @SGJ72 pic.twitter.com/aLVrTX9pn8 — Mindi Snyder (@gowsy33) September 23, 2018
Scary Bike Rides
Of all the stories I’ve done, this is the one that still gets to me on the trail. Really? Other day I’m riding this corridor in Boulder with a tall fence on one side, a concrete wall on the other, so: no exits. It goes about . . . three quarters of a mile. I’m
Best of the Best
Sounds like a boxing movie. Anyway, cool starred Publisher’s Weekly review—nice words for “Chapter Six.” Click there, or, I mean, it’s so short, here:

The hard copies arrive. Very cool. “Love is a Cavity I Can’t Stop Touching” is in here. Cute little story about teenage love, and all that comes after.

Pirates & Pirating
Man, looks like I’m just embedding tweets here all day—I did just wrap an extensive novel rewrite about five minutes ago—but, here’s another one, a good one, an important one: Dear person who decided to upload an e-ARC of THE GIRL IN THE GREEN SILK GOWN to an illegal download site more than a week
Love is a Cavity I Can’t Stop Touching
A story of mine that ran on Gamut a while back. It’s in here now: Change forces us into the light or the dark. Dusk is in between. It defends the light from the dark. Where things go well. Or where they go very, very bad… SUSPENDED IN DUSK II, edited by @herodfel, with @SGJ72
Bloody Flicks
Which is what Mongrels would be, I imagine. All werewolf stories walk through blood. Cool write-up from Paul Downey: Mongrels by Stephen Graham Jones review
This Dangerous Vision
It’s of a world without Harlan Ellison, yes. It’s all different because of him. And, no, I never met the guy, or, I only knew him on the page, but, too, I kind feel that that’s where you can know someone the best. Anyway, here’s my favorite two Ellison write-ups, one from before yesterday, one
