Bloodlines ed. Amanda Pillar and Current Reads

Bloodlines ed. Amanda Pillar


It's a pleasure to have a story in the Ticonderoga anthology Bloodlines ed. Amanda Pillar. The ToC have been officially released and the book itself will be out out in hardcover, tradepaperback and ebook in October. 

Looks a treat.

My own story 'Lady Killer' is framed around the Sphinx-Oedipus riddle.

Other News

In another anthology of a very different nature soon. Let you know more when the ToC are officially released.

Current Reads: Just read the Shirley Jackson classic We Have Always Lived in the Castle. The protagonist, Merricat, is a lovable sociopath and in terms of voice and psychological intrigue the work is second-to-none. And I'm on the second book of the The First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie, which is simply great fun. Can't put it down.

On the short story front I'm reading My Mistress's Sparrow Is Dead: Great Love Stories ed. Jeffrey Eugenides. The anthology is an intriguing bag of mixed lollies with some especially delectable stories. Favourites so far: 'First Love and Other Stories' by Harold Brodkey, 'Natasha' by David Bezmozgis, ‘The Hitchhiking Game’ by Milan Kundera,  ‘The Moon in it’s Flight’ by Gilbert Sorrentino, ‘Jon’ by George Saunders,  ‘Red Rose, White Rose’ by Eileen Chang and 'Fireworks’ by Richard Ford. More to come - but it's worth reading on the sheer strength of these stories alone.
