    I submitted my new "Collecting the Modern Macabre" article a week or so ago for the upcoming issue of the annual Weird Fiction Review, coming later this year from Centipede Press. The last one -- appearing a few months ago, in Feb. 2020 -- on Karl Edward Wagner's small press, Carcosa, was a healthy 4500 words, and the previous one featuring Dark Harvest (in its prior mag home) was 2500 words...this new one's a massive 6500 words, a length the topic demanded. I shouldn't speak yet to its subject, but I do hope that for those who read WFR that you all enjoy it.

      Is he doing another one this year? I had thought it was an annual publication.

      Either way, I look forward to reading it!

          I love these Tom Adams Raymond Chandler covers. Didn't care for them much when I was a kid, but over the years I've grown to appreciate them.

            It is an annual publication, and he shoots for an end-of-the-year publication (Nov./Dec.), but this last one was delayed a couple months, so came out in Feb. of this year. We’ll see what happens with the next one.

              Picked up a bee hive this weekend. Fun times ahead with bee stings and honey.

              Two days ago was my first experience (for probably 20+ years) with the sting part. Bugger flew right into my ear.

              In about 5 seconds I went from calmly trying to get it away to swatting, tripping and falling, getting stung, it falling down my collar, and then ripping off my shirt and running into the house...My neighbors saw most of that. :-)
              Looking for the fonting of youth.

                But did they get it on video?

                    I'm laughing WITH you. Not at you.

                    I'd love to have a bee hive, chicken coop, and every Suntup and CD lettered edition ever published.

                      Google it. LOL. (I hope they didn't have their phones out.)

                      Yep. Sadly I did.

                      It was funny. So it's okay to laugh.

                      I never expected to get a bee in my ear. Upon further research they seem to like ears and noses. I will be wearing my vail more often.

                          I'm hoping I get another email from abebooks.co.uk w. a discount code I can use. If I do I may place an order for a used book.

                              Is that ANGEL'S INFERNO by William Hjortsberg still on schedule? I haven't ordered the Centipede, as I'm guessing it's sold out and I missed the boat, but I'm hoping that another publisher has the paperback rights as that is ONE BOOK that I'm looking forward to.

                                Centipede’s edition hasn’t been put up for sale yet so you still have a chance if you’re interested.
