I highly recommend this new collection by Simon Strantzas, Other Sides. Strantzas is one of the masters of modern weird fiction, able to mine the common materials of everyday life for unmistakable signs of dread. amazon.com/Other-Sides-Simon…

Here's an interview I did back at Readercon this year with Scott Edelman for his Eating the Fantastic Podcast. He took me to an Italian restaurant in Quincy, Genaro's, where the meatballs were like planets. tinyurl.com/5n6b85xn

This weekend I received HWA's Lifetime Achievement Award in San Diego. Here's a video. If you prefer to skip forward to my part, go to 2:25. That's when John Langan gives a rather incredible introduction to my work. I give my speech right after that. youtube.com/watch?v=GAU4i0Rs…

Somehow we still have some of these limited edition Stefan Grabinski hardcovers left. When Centipede did theirs for $600 it sold out in minutes, but our much more modestly one has moved a bit slower. Ltd to 300 copies, intro by Brian Evenson: valancourtbooks.com/orchard-…

The two moves a writer of short stories can do when they catch wind of an anthology they'd like to submit to: 1. ask in public of semi-public if there will be an open call for submissions. 2. reach out via some means and query for themselves. The first is a terrible idea.

Fierce, fearless, and criminally under-read. That's horror great LIVIA LLEWELLYN. I thought I'd read most of her work with her acclaimed collections ENGINES OF DESIRE (2011) and FURNACE (2016). In fact, they only contain *half* of her published stories. 1/10

Huge congratulations to Steve @RasnicTem, recipient of this year's Lifetime Achievement Award from the Horror Writers Association! He's one of the best weird/horror authors of our time & you should be reading him! Either of these is a great place to start: valancourtbooks.com/steve-ra…

The odd couple in the decayed holiday park. The dark side of lacemaking. The twin town harbouring a horrible secret. A wide range of macabre weirdness written in homage to the great Robert Aickman. Spec writing of the highest order. @strantzas. My review: paulfinch-writer.blogspot.co…
