New story up at DIN, “Secret Maps” (they’re the best kind). More stories soon, too, in excellentcool places. June will be all linky.
“The Ones Who Got Away” made it on/to EWN’s Short Story Month.
My weird flowhcart at Weird Fiction Review is all BoingBoing‘d up, thanks to Cory Doctorow. And I made Ann and Jeff Vandermeer’s top 13 weirdest stories of the century, over at The Huffington Post.
Growing Up Dead in Texas is e-vai…
Man, where to start. How about with John Mellencamp:
When I was five I walked the fence while grandpa held my hand
“Rain on the Scarecrow” came out in 1985, the year Growing Up Dead in Texas happens. Or, that’s when the events happen. Right around that time I remember walking the fence with my great-granddad, Pop. A hot fence, to keep the cattle out of the ten acres my grandma’s house was (and is) on. And I knew it was hot by then, of course; I’d been za…
I tried so hard to make a YouTube playlist for Growing Up Dead in Texas. Songs that are in the book and songs that kind of encompass the book. But it wasn’t meant to be; the songs I needed can’t be included in playlists.
So, in lieu, I’ll put them all here, in the order that feels right — or, how they happen (for me) in the book. And this first one, it breaks my heart every time, but it always puts it all back together, too:
( there’s an ad on this one, sorry…
New interview’s live up at Curiouser and Curiouser.
New story, “Dedication,” up at Smokelong. It’s the first story for Short Story Month, too. So cool.
“Why I Write” is live at Stymie.
I lucked onto Adam Cesares’ Daily Grindhouse list.
Couple more places got ahold of Zombie Bake-Off in the most wonderful way: Booked Podcast and Chizine‘s Chioroscuro.
And, another interview’s live on Monday. Or, in a mag —…
by Matt Falvey, Jesse Wichterman, and Kathryn Soverane. and it’s got its own facebook page now. Novel’s out in paper June 12th, in digital all around May 12. Eagerly awaiting. Nervously awaiting. Excitedly waiting. Waiting with far too many adverbs.…
My review of Cabin in the Woods is up at LitReactor: “How to Tell a True Horror Story.” Was lucky enough to catch an early screening last week, with Drew Goddard and Amy Acker there to talk, after. T-shirt, poster, all pretty cool. But the movie’s the real. Haven’t been this excited for a horror movie since Feast, I don’t think. Or All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, whichever of those two came last. Soon as this one’s on DVD, though, it’s go…
My interview there’s live. “Demons and Donuts.” Also, should the sun turn up dead one of these mornings, I think they’re going to very quietly change the name of their magazine. There’ll be mass hysteria, a big funeral, all that, so I think they’ll be able to get away with it.

Just calling this post that because of the season. And because of course I love Hellbunny.
Anyway, I never did a write-up for how cool World Horror in Salt Lake City was. Got to meet Robert McCammon and have him sign my Boy’s Life (to my son), got see Ellen Datlow some more, got to hang out with Joe Lansdale again, and meet Karen, got to watch a movie Adam Blomquist had with him (The Blood on Satan’s Claw), got to meet Jonathan Martin (of “An Evening with My Comatose …
little list I made, up at Litreactor.
