I published my first short story collection, These Words Are Haunted<\/em><\/a>, back in 2001. It was a hardcover aimed primarily at the collector market, and cost $37.95. I’ve long wished the book could be available as an inexpensive paperback, so those unfamiliar with my writing and therefore unwilling to drop that big a chunk of change on an unknown might be more likely to give me a try.<\/p>\n

Come April, that will finally happen, thanks to Ian Randal Strock, who runs Fantastic Books<\/a>, which also published my science fiction short story collection What We Still Talk About<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n

Also requiring thanks—Memo Angeles, who created a Zombie Alphabet<\/a> that won my heart (and brains!), plus Chris Kalb<\/a>, who used that alphabet to design this awesome cover.<\/p>\n
