Been busy doing not so much lately. Took a bagua class at an anarchist infoshop today—it was interesting. Walked around. Ate at Rudy's Can't Fail for lunch. That sort of thing.
Anyway, yet another anthology table of contents has come my way. Here's the line-up for Deepest, Darkest Eden: New Tales of Hyperborea, (Cody Goodfellow, ed.) a Clark Ashton Smith tribute book. It's in layout now, so should be out soonish.
Nick Mamatas, "Hostage" (In the lead!)
Joe Pulver, "To Walk Night… Alone"
Darrell Schweitzer, "In Old Commoriom"
Ann K. Schwader, "Yhoundeh Fades"
Cody Goodfellow, "Coil Of The Ouroboros"
John R. Fultz, "Daughter Of The Elk Goddess"
Brian R. Sammons, "The Darkness Below"
Dieter Meier, "The Conquest Of Rhizopium"
Lisa Morton, "Zolamin And The Mad God"
Brian Stableford, "The Lost Archetype"
Ran Cartwright, "One Last Task For Athammaus"
Don Webb, "The Beauties Of Polarion"
Robert M. Price, "The Debt Owed Abhoth"
Marc Laidlaw, "The Frigid Ilk Of Sarn Kathool"
Charles Schneider, "The Return Of The Crystal"
John Shirley, "Rodney LaSalle Has A Job…"
Zak Jarvis, "The Winter Of Atiradarinsept"
Jesse Bullington, "The Door From Earth"
Ann K. Schwader, "Weird Of The White Sybil"
I'll win no awards for best title this time—John Shirley gets it, I think. "Hostage" is my attempt to combine Smith's Hyperborea with Greek notions of the place, the word hostage being a reference to Homer. Cody liked it enough to put it up top, so maybe it's good. You can tell me this autumn.
