Eudora Tapped For Indiana Horror Review, Contract Signed And Returned

This is a Thursday night story, though it won’t be posted until the wee hours of Friday morning.  It’s been a long, and a strange but productive day.  This one begins, however, just under two weeks ago on August 15 when Indianapolis Editor/Publisher James Ward Kirk emailed:  I would love to publish one of your stories for INDIANA HORROR REVIEW 2020.  He added that, though an anthology of mostly unpublished work, he would be willing to look at a reprint so the next day I emailed back:  Thank you for the invitation!  The attached, “Eudora,” is a bit on the short side at 1500 words, but I think has substance.  It has been published once before in BLOOD TYPE: AN ANTHOLOGY OF VAMPIRE SF ON THE CUTTING EDGE (Nightscape Press, 2013), with reprint rights in my possession.  I hope it will be suitable and, either way, will look forward to hearing from you.


And so today (well, yesterday really) the second act, a contract arrived.  For reasons oddly having to do with COVID-19 it took a little doing to open but, yes, “Eudora” has found a new home — a bit of a science fiction tale, but mostly of horror, of vampires and disease.  Maybe a bit of a fable for our time?*  In any event the contract is now signed and an hour or so ago went electronically winging back, with more to be here as it becomes known.
