Rumors of my “death by slush” are greatly exaggerated. Sure, I was trapped under an avalanche of submissions for the anthology.  And yes, I did technically stop breathing (and posting) for a while, but rumors of an undead editor roaming from house to house to eat the flesh off the bones of authors pitching Zombie Jesus stories…that’s just nonsense. Mostly.

Tomorrow, I’ll post the cover art and table of contents for Dark Faith.  Lots of good news on the way.  It’s going to be a very busy 2010!

I’ve accepted an offer to edit a pro-rate anthology with Maurice Broaddus for Apex Books.  Dark Faith will be released in the summer of 2010.  As co-editor, I’ll primarily handle unsolicited manuscripts.

Call for Submissions

The “Back from the Dead” edition of Coach’s Midnight Diner is now available from Amazon.  Alongside fiction from Kim Paffenroth and Bob Freeman, you’ll find my future take on the 9th Ward of New Orleans.

The story, written weeks after Hurricane Katrina nearly destroyed the city, follows a young man struggling to survive a supernatural collision of past and present in a rebuilt neighborhood very different from the one he knew as a child.
