My horror anthology goes off to the printer today. So that basically means that I still have to wait for the proof copy to come, and then I get all the fun of playing find-the-typos and I have one more chance to scruple about the text before it becomes available.

So here’s the line-up:

Against Nature – A pretentious nihilist martyrs himself to the destruction of nature.

Catastrophic Beauty – In the aftermath of a Lovecraftian apocalypse, an artist creates a dangerous idol.

Lubyanka – A vampire in Gulag.

Schrodingers Zombie – A not entirely academic dialogue about the moral dignity of zombiekind.

The Faery Cry – Riffing on Rosetti, Bronte and Ovid.

Rite of Atonement – A bone-sculptor creates a marvelous scapegoat out of human flesh.

Who’s Afraid of the Little Red Hood? – Little Red Riding Hood grew up mean…

Mother R’Lyeh – More Lovecraft. This time with a trans hero.

Buffalo Tongue Woman – Once, there was a man who had a nagging wife.

Achilles in Purple – Homer meets postmodern feminism far on the ringing plains of windy Troy.

The Dying Place – A young man falls for the angel of death who has come for his partner.

Pedro’s Treasure –Childhood madness in a South American mining town.

Lost Voices – A woman wishes to have her vocal chords surgically removed.

A Very Long Bereavement – A star falls in love.

Birth of a Kingdom – A woman takes her brother’s place on an eldritch battlefield.

Cataline – Wouldn’t it be fun to spend eternity trying to fall in love with someone you hate?
