Literary Horror: Dude you made that up
The following is a brief (and clearly informal!) e-mail exchange with a colleague–who primarily writes and reads works of fantasy–concerning PHANTOM and horror in general:
Colleague: A horror anthology sounds interesting. I'm a person who loves/hates horror. I can't read or watch movies without gettng the heebie-jeebies. Yet, I still do it (on rare occasion).
Me: I'm a big time scaredy cat. So my tastes...
Phantom: Now available!
Phantom, the anthology of literary horror is finally available at amazon and Barnes and Nobles and the like.

There wasn't a second spitter at Borders
But there was a second videographer: Steve "the crotchety old fan" Davidson also videotaped the readings.

Videos from the Borders Reading
Friday night at Borders couldn't have gone better. John and the Borders staff were extremely gracious hosts. It was a lot of fun sharing the stage with David and Jeff. The crowd was rowdy, too. I said rowdy! Big thanks to everyone, and especially to JoAnn Cox for taping the event.

2009 New England Crime Bake!
My first crime convention was this weekend. The New England Crime Bake was in Dedham, MA, which is even closer to my house than Readercon. Which is nice.
I spent most of Saturday afternoon chatting with Jedediah Berry and Dave Zeltserman, both extremely talented writers that you all should read. We survived the mystery of the box lunches and eventually headed to a panel.
