Couple Anthologies
Story called “Alis” in the obvious one, and a story about this demon Asmodeus in the other: And, a certain homo naledi story off mine lucked into this: Web’s Best Science Fiction #1 (2017 Stories) And, here’s a cool write-up of “Universal Horror”: https://nicklasalla.blogspot.com/2017...

The Last Jedi
I mean, first, yeah, loved it, clapped at the end, c’mon: of course. Best part? All the younguns in the audience laughing and talking to the screen. New hope indeed. Second, couple of good links: http://terribleminds.com/ramble/2017/... https://theconcourse.deadspin.com/a-l...?

Couple of Kind Reviews, and an Article
You can maybe tell which book this one’s on, over at Unnerving: http://www.unnervingmagazine.com/sing... And then here’s a twofer over at Transmotion, for which Theo Van Alst and Billy J. Stratton actually deserve the credit: https://journals.kent.ac.uk/index.php...

Comic book cameo for Mongrels
Check it out: So cool. I mean, I know: my critical faculties are supposed to be rendered helpless from the surprise of seeing the yellow book drawn like this, but?

Process
This is what writing is: you throw a lot of stupid stuff at a wall, then see what sticks. And you never really understand it enough to do it like that again, and, meanwhile, people say it means this and that, and for reasons you can’t figure out, the story lasts, even though it was …
