In case anybody needs me next/AWP week, these are the places I definitely plan on being, though of course I’ll be trolling the bookfair for swag as well, and haunting lobbies, and skulking around busstops, and generally making a nuisance of myself in various restaurants. And, no, I don’t know where any of these places are yet. But I’m sure they’re real, or at least real-ish, which is good enough for me.

Anybody catch that “Little Lambs” story of mine IRON HORSE ran a few months ago? One of my favorites ever. Looks like it’s coming out again in November, in Ann and Jeff Vandermeer’s THE WEIRD:A COMPENDIUM OF STRANGE AND DARK FICTIONS. Couldn’t be happier about that.…
Which, isn’t that an old TC Boyle story? It always stuck with me, anyway.

looks like that “Lonegan’s Luck” (a zombie western) I had in NEW GENRE a few months ago’s going to be in The Best Horror of the Year volume 2, ed. by Ellen Datlow. Very cool, very excited.

For me, anyway. However, the caveat — movies I haven’t seen yet:
THE HURT LOCKER: the title kept me away, yeah. very undescriptive. or, maybe makes perfect sense afterward, but none before.
500 DAYS OF SUMMER: dug the trailer, did the actors, heard great stuff about it, but, being not-horror, it kept slipping down the list.
THE FANTASTIC MR FOX: I still trust Wes Anderson. will see this one before too long, here.
ANTICHRIST: man, the Green Goblin and some scene tha…
