Last June, I told you I’d sold my 10,000-word story “That Perilous Stuff” to the anthology Chiral Mad 3, and then in August I shared the illustration artist Glenn Chadbourne whipped up for that tale.

Now that the book’s about to be released—over on Facebook last night, editor Michael Bailey announced a March 29 release date—here’s the final front and back cover, with the name EDELMAN sandwiched between CHIZMAR and GOLDSMITH.

A spooky cover for what will surely be a spooky (and awesome) book!

If you’d like a small taste of “That Perilous Stuff,” here’s my reading at last year’s World Fantasy Convention of the first third or so.

I hope it will leave you wanting more.

Since I told you I’d sold a 10,000-word story to the anthology Chiral Mad 3, a lot has happened. Eight more authors—Josh Malerman, Gary A. Braunbeck, Hal Bodner, Emily Cataneo, Lisa Morton, Max Booth III, Meghan Arcuri-Moran, and Richard Chizmar—joined the table of contents, plus artist Glenn Chadbourne delivered his illustration for my story, “That Perilous Stuff.”

As you can see, someone’s hoarding problem has gotten a little out of hand …

According to editor Michael Bailey, there are a few more short story purchases still to be announced.

This looks to be an amazing anthology, and I’m proud to be a part of it.
