Yesterday, the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America announced the opening of the nominations period for the Nebula Awards, which meant all the cool kids immediately started posting lists of their eligible stories. Well, since my 2018 short stories have now all been published—and the recommendations period for the Bram Stoker Awards from the Horror Writers Association is also open—I figured it’s time to collect info about my publications in one place so voting members of those organizations can take them into consideration.

First up, two science fiction tales—

“ The Final Charge of Mr. Electrico”

This 5,800-word, written to honor Ray Bradbury — which some of you might have already guessed based on the title — was published over at Giganotosaurus in January and can still be read there. Or if you’d rather hear me read it, click on the embed below and travel back to this year’s Balticon.

“Opossums and Angels”

This 5,350-word post-apocalyptic story was one of two original tales to appear in my new collection Tell Me Like You Done Before, which was launched earlier this month at the World Fantasy Convention. “Opossums and Angels” is a sequel to both “The Screwfly Solution” and “The Women Men Don’t See,” my two favorite Alice Sheldon stories. But don’t worry — I think it will work for readers with no prior knowledge of her or of either story.

Here’s the horror story —

“It’s Only a Story”

My 5,275-word short tale “It’s Only a Story” was published this month in the anthology Birthing Monsters: Frankenstein’s Cabinet of Curiosities and Cruelties, edited by Alex and Bobbi Scully from Firbolg Publishing. It’s a celebration of Mary Shelley, her Creature, and storytelling itself.

And the fourth of my stories to be published this year is a fantasy —

“The Man Who Wouldn’t Work Miracles”

This 5,325-word tale is the second of two original stories to see print in my new collection Tell Me Like You Done Before. It’s a sequel to the H. G. Wells story “The Man Who Could Work Miracles,” so if you ever wondered what happened next, I may have an answer for you.

If you’re a voting member of either of these organizations and would like to receive copies of any of the four stories above, send me an mail and I’ll shoot whichever you request back at you.

Thanks!
