Gothic Readers Choice Award
NOTES FROM THE SHADOW CITY, my collaborative collection of dark poetry with Gary William Crawford, has received the Gothic Readers Choice Award.
http://gothicreadersbookclub.blogspot...
The book is not Gothic in voice or form. It uses contemporary language and is all free verse. I think the designation refers to the flavor and emotional impact it evokes.

The Mutant Rain Forest
If you were reading genre magazines in the late 80s and early 90s – Asimov’s, Amazing, Omni, Weird Tales, Science Fiction Age, Tomorrow, Dreams and Nightmares – you may recall the Mutant Rain Forest, a world that Robert Frazier first created, and that he and I explored and expanded upon together with both collaborative and solo poems and stories. The poems through 1992 were collected in CHRONICLES OF THE MUTANT RAIN FOREST (Horror’s Head Press). Additional poems have continued to appear since then, including a couple in Strange Horizons in the 00s.
Now I have a new Mutant Rain Forest story up at DAILY SCIENCE FICTION: “Surrounded by the Mutant Rain Forest,” 2000 words, with a fair share of poetry therein.

Next year, Dark Regions will be releasing TALES OF THE MUTANT RAIN FOREST, a collection of the best fiction and poetry Bob and I have created set in this world.
