News Roundup

I've been away from here for a while. Here are a few of the things that have happened:

Nick Mamatas included Lost in Cat Brain Land in Future of the Underground: What to Read Before Everyone Else Does, an article/list published at io9. Speaking of Nick, Cory Doctorow just reviewed his latest novel (Sensation) at Boing Boing.

Scott Shoyer reviewed Abortion Arcade and The Pickled Apocalypse of Pancake Island for Anything Horror. You can read the reviews here and here.

The film site 10K Bullets reviewed Abortion Arcade.

A new review of Shark Hunting in Paradise Garden appeared.

Black Hole Blues by Patrick Wensink and The Fall into Time by Douglas Lain were published.

Sinister Miniatures by Kris Saknussemm (Lazy Fascist, 2011) will be the August selection for The Cult's book club.

I turned in my next book, CAPTAIN CTHULHU, to Eraserhead Press. It should be out this summer.

On June 19th, I'm reading with Bruce Taylor and Kirsten Alene at the Tougo Coffee Co. in Seattle. The reading starts at 5PM.

On July 16th, I'm signing with John Skipp, Kirsten Alene, and friends at Dark Delicacies in Burbank, CA. Very, very excited to be doing something at Dark Del.

My next performance will take place at The Lovecraft Bar here in Portland on June 6th. Carlton Mellick III, Jeff Burk, Mykle Hansen, and Jeremy Robert Johnson are also performing. It's going to be an epic night.

Here's the poster Jeff created for the event:

 

In other news, I've been working on some new stories that I feel are among my best. Projects with Lazy Fascist have been keeping me busy as well.

The new Bizarro Central went live. It's incredible. If you dig back a few posts to May 23rd, you can find a link to a free download of Abortion Arcade.

Oh yeah, and I turned 23 on May 23rd.

Back to work!
