Shirley Jackson Awards
Wow, so cool—great ballot to be a finalist on. Luck to all: https://www.shirleyjacksonawards.org/nominees/
Oh yeah: I’m not on Facebook anymore
Guess the body of this post is pretty much in the subject line up there. Maybe again someday? Who knows. Just deactivated, didn’t delete. Wanted to see what the other side is like. But I’m still in birdland, should anybody need me. And I’m on Litsy as well, having fun. Not on Instagram, though. Reason?

This week’s mail
Three books I have stories in (Devil got kind of damaged en route, but, I mean: shipwreck, right?).
Cool review of the Critical Companion
by Eric Gary Anderson, at / from Western American Literature: https://muse.jhu.edu/article/685945
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
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
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
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
Darkscribe
Having some nice words about Haunted Nights, and “Dirtmouth’: http://www.darkscribemagazine.com/reviews/haunted-nights-edited-by-ellen-datlow-and-lisa-morton.html
Lost Highway!
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/
Cemetery Dance
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

100 Story Collections @Bookriot
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.
Locus Poll
Voting’s open, and soon to close. Cool to be listed with so many good writers—cool for Mapping the Interior, anyway. I’m just the dude who wrote it. https://locusmag.com/2018-locus-poll-and-survey/
Literary Taxidermy
I’m one of these judges, in what looks to be a cool competition: https://literarytaxidermy.com
Heavy Day
I mean, like, literally. Each of these boxes are about fifty pounds, I’d guess: Also the other kind of heavy, though—the Back to the Future kind of heavy, except this is about the past: those are all my papers. Every manuscript, all my undergraduate and graduate files, a bit of teaching stuff, my PhD comps,
