Weird fun

Sharing a list with Mary Shelley and Shirley Jackson, alongside half a library’s worth of women whose work goes all the way into the dark - that’s fun. MONSTER, SHE WROTE is just out from Quirk Books.

Working with the weird, the disturbing, the inexplicably beautiful - that’s fun too. This appreciation of one of my short stories, “Angels in Love,” is both perceptive and heartfelt. Lynne Jamneck, who knows more than a little about writing in that glowing dark, examines “AIL” here.

And if you want to share some of my own favorite weird fiction, YEAR’S BEST WEIRD FICTION 2 from Undertow Press is waiting for you here.
