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:
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
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
Having some nice words about Haunted Nights, and “Dirtmouth’: http://www.darkscribemagazine.com/reviews/haunted-nights-edited-by-ellen-datlow-and-lisa-morton.html
I mean—they’re just laying down truth now, right? https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the-entry-for-webmd-on-webmd
@SGJ72 Stephen, we loved Mapping the Interior. And we loved taking it apart to see how it works!! A great read 👍🏼 pic.twitter.com/DAMHaTHJyD — Meredith Doench✨ (@MeredithDoench) March 15, 2018
So impossibly cool: My mock cover and spot illustrations for Tor Publishing’s “The Night Cyclist” by Stephen Graham Jones. Even though my class dropped the peer critique aspect of this project, I still had a lot of fun with it. pic.twitter.com/hLNKVZjEKn — Erin Satterley (@erinsatterley) March 13, 2018 WELCOME to my FAKE TOR COVER
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. If I were scribbling a back-of-the envelope North Armerican All-Star list of living writers, this would be today’s
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/
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

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/
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.
This is some cool stuff. And, I can see it being used as kind-of support for what I keep hearing: that we sapiens-types evolved not in a single push from heidelbergensis or so, but in both Africa and Asia from erectus. Just, as with these spiders, we ended up so much the same that we
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
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/
I’m one of these judges, in what looks to be a cool competition: https://literarytaxidermy.com
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,
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 thought adultery meant “pretending
This is kind of the music-only equivalent of Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, yes? Just got word that I can finally share my rejected theme song from @readyplayerone. They went with Alan Silvestri’s theme, but I still want to thank Steven Spielberg & @WarnerBrosEnt for the wonderful opportunity. pic.twitter.com/aK32ZOUA16 — demi adejuyigbe (@electrolemon) March
Strikes me that the reason a lot of novels start out so slowly is that they don’t take into account the version of the catalog copy on their back cover. That copy nearly always gives away the central conceit or trick or surprise of the novel, but the novel, pretending to itself that it exists
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:
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
