Laertes asked Jeff Strand:

Hi Jeff. I'm in love with 'Everything Has Teeth'. Who couldn't be? But, alas!, I'm almost through. I have, of course, ordered 'Gleefully Macabre Tales' and 'Dead Clown Barbecue', but allow me to ask nevertheless: will there be a new short story collection anytime soon? Greetings from Germany.

Jeff Strand Hi, Laertes! Probably the earliest another collection will appear is 2020. I actually have enough new material to fill a fourth book now, but most of it is still under contract with the original publishers. It's usually a year before I'm allowed to reprint a story, though with bigger, higher-paying books it can be up to three. (And I've got stories like "Mr. Pistachio's Charming Rampage" and "The Last Thing You Want To Be" that haven't been published yet.) In about a year I'll go through my material, figure out what stories I'm allowed to use, and start to put together the next book. Thanks for asking!
