Mapping the Interior is live
Kind of swamped here in Massachusetts this week (literally: it’s the kind of humid here that’s like a sauna), haven’t had time to proper announce that today’s the day, but: today’s the day. Here’s some of the stuff I’ve seen so far: Which is from the Tor.com offices, I think—just search “Mapping the Interior” in
The Water, the world
I got to be a small part of this: The Ask: What Environmental Issues Give Nightmares to Horror Writers?
Digging up Bones
Which is a good Randy Travis song. But, I’m actually talking about real physical crumbly cool bones, here not metaphorical sad nostalgic bones: http://www.tor.com/2017/06/08/amateur-archaeology-from-bone-yards-to-writing-desks/
Lazarus Complex
Part 1’s live today. Other parts coming around every Saturday for a bit here. http://gamut.online/node/204

Tor.com let me talk about horror for a bit . . .
And of course I veered werewolf-ward: http://www.tor.com/2017/05/31/the-horror-story-we-all-know/
My shortest interview EVER
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.
Spooklights
Coolest podcast name around, yeah? And, I’m on it now: https://soundcloud.com/user-515499834/19-stephen-graham-jones
Mapping the Interior sample at The Verge
Like the samples you get from the carpet store: just a little patch to take home, hold up here, hold up there, to see if the whole rooms needs to be like this.
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
Couple-three New Things
The first is a little ten, eleven minute out-loud thing I did at Dink: 122: Stephen Graham Jones, “Insisting on a Dream” The astute will note that I get the issue of Secret Wars I’m talking about there wrong. Sorry. What happened / my excuse? I forgot I was on this panel until about fifteen
Gotta Love Powell’s Books
I mean, because it’s Powell’s Books, of course. But also for this: Also in the pic: Jeremy Robert Johnson, the real Stephen Jones, Lisa Morton, Mr. King
Mapping the Interior: the advance copies
Mapping the Interior is sneaking out into the world: That was the Tor offices. This is Twitter, later: New books from @neilhimself @SGJ72 @jasonshiga and Carrie Vaughn. pic.twitter.com/v1oiy8WYrX — Andrew Liptak (@AndrewLiptak) March 23, 2017 And, Ellen Datlow, she without whom Mapping the Interior wouldn’t have ever happened:
Bram Stoker Awards
So honored to have Mongrels on the final ballot along with so many excellent writers, so many good books: Superior Achievement in a Novel Hand, Elizabeth – Hard Light: A Cass Neary Crime Novel (Minotaur Books) Jones, Stephen Graham – Mongrels (William Morrow) Langan, John – The Fisherman (Word Horde) MacLeod, Bracken – Stranded: A Novel
Los Angeles and Werewolves
Man, been nine months since Mongrels went live, and it’s still getting words. Like these, over at LARB: “One of Them Now: Stephen Graham Jones’s Mongrels“ And, those nine months ago, of course, LA Times was already on the yellow book: “The Wild Boy Wants his Fangs“ Honored. Thanks, Kristina Baudemann (LARB) and Steph Cha
The Trump Way
Just stashing these here so I can remember them: [ other Trump-stuff on site, here: “The Day before the Earth Stood Still“, “Trump” ]
The Day Before the Earth Stood Still
We’re all holding our breath. For four years. But we’ll lose it a few times, I know, from shouting. We’re going to need a lot of shouting, and a lot of watching. Anyway, there’s hope, too. This is last night: However, we can’t forget that this kind of thing is now happening as well: In
