A couple of new reviews for Slights. Mark Deniz at Beyond Fiction recently re-published The Blue Stream, my second story in print and one I’m inordinately proud of. He reviews Slights here. Gnostalgia is a very interesting review and commentary site, and Barry gives Slights 5 out of 5!

Very interesting article by Nicholas Seeley at Strange Horizons. He interviewed a lot of the writers in the Apex Book of World SF and put this story together.

Harry Markov at Temple Library Review has posted a spooky short interview series, asking horror writers about their early scares. I’m there talking about “The Shining”, but more about the night I first saw it. Also, Richard Larson has posted a thoughtful review of “Slights” at Strange Horizons.

Harry Markov at Temple Library Reviews has written an incredible review of Slights. Really gives me chills to think that my book is affecting people in this way. For all those in the New York area, make sure you come see me read at the KGB Bar on Wednesday night. We all go out for [...]
