The Weird
Anybody catch that "Little Lambs" story of mine IRON HORSE ran a few months ago? One of my favorites ever. Looks like it's coming out again in November, in Ann and Jeff Vandermeer's THE WEIRD:A COMPENDIUM OF STRANGE AND DARK FICTIONS. Couldn't be happier about that.

Termination Dust
Which, isn't that an old TC Boyle story? It always stuck with me, anyway. But, only mentioning it because it means 'snow,' and snow's in this story of mine up at Juked, "Snow Monsters."

Zombie Cowboys
looks like that "Lonegan's Luck" (a zombie western) I had in NEW GENRE a few months ago's going to be in The Best Horror of the Year volume 2, ed. by Ellen Datlow. Very cool, very excited.

The Year in Movies
For me, anyway. However, the caveat — movies I haven't seen yet:
