Between August and September, my stories appeared in three new anthologies. I’ve mentioned all three as “upcoming” in previous blogs, but now that they’re all available, I wanted to follow up to make sure everyone knows they’re available to order.

This star-studded compendium of the weird was the first anthology released by Dim Shores, and came out simultaneously in limited, deluxe hardcover and trade paperback versions.

Providence Bound

On By griffinwordsIn Words In, Words Out2 Comments

Lena and I will be arriving in Providence Thursday morning for NecronomiCon, and participating in the scheduled events already mentioned in the previous post.

I should be posting lots of pictures, which won’t show up here until later, if at all. If you want to follow along, check my Facebook, Twitter and Instagram feeds, and give me a like/friend/follow or that sort of thing.

I’m really looking forward to this convention, especially seeing the two newly-released books in which I’m a participant.

Also, copies of my own books should be available in the dealer room — Word Horde has items for sale at the Martial Migraine Press table, and Journalstone’s table should have books from their Trepidatio imprint as well. I’ll stop by those tables and sign the stock, if possible, and I’ll be glad to sign anybody’s unsigned copies as well.

WALK ON THE WEIRD SIDE is a weird fiction anthology edited by Joseph S. Pulver Sr. to be sold at NecronomiCon Providence as a fundraiser for the convention. Those who want to obtain the book but can’t attend will be able to order via the con’s online store.

The book will include my story “Everyone Gathers at Haystack Rock,” along with work by a really impressive selection of writers. See below.

Announcement: Walk On the Weird Side

On By griffinwordsIn Words Out2 Comments

I’m happy to announce that my novelette “Everyone Gathers at Haystack Rock” has been accepted for WALK ON THE WEIRD SIDE, an fiction anthology being edited by Joseph S. Pulver Sr. in association with NecronomiCon Providence and to be released at that event.

There’s no cover art yet, so that reveal will have to wait, but it’s rumored that the amazing Nick Gucker will be doing the cover.

As for other writers, I’ve seen a few of the names of others involved, but I’ll let them make their own announcements. It should be a good one! My thanks to Joe Pulver and to Niels Hobbs and all the other organizers and volunteers making this great convention happen.
