Looks good, I think. I always like a Carrie Laben story and Steve is over the moon about the Brad Strickland story. J.T. Glover I've not heard from in a while, so am happy to see that he's keeping busy. (If I remember correctly that one is a reprint.) My own story—a new one—is about a ubiquitous roadie in a small notional guitar-driven EDM scene. This was a challenging solicitation in that the default incubus story one can write is a date-rape or rape-via-manipulation story, which I had no interest in writing. So it took some tinkering, but I like what I came up with. The book will be published by Prime Books in January 2014.
