All I see are landmarks of you
So the Science Friday after Thanksgiving always includes coverage of the latest Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony. (My mother called from her work commute to make sure I knew that she had just turned on the radio and heard the one about life-preserving Italian pizza.) Obviously I tuned in because I wanted to hear how the hour-long condensation had come out. Not only did they include an excerpt from the mini-opera Creatures of Habit, it was the first act, meaning I have now been broadcast on national public radio singing about not shutting up. I got recommended on NPR last summer, but I wasn't audible. I am delighted.
P.S. And then I went downstairs to run an errand and found waiting on the doorstep my contributor's copy of the deluxe signed hardcover of Dreams from the Witch House: Female Voices of Lovecraftian Horror (Dark Regions Press, 2016) edited by Lynne Jamneck. It's slipcased. It's beautiful. My hand's on the signature sheets. My contribution was "All Our Salt-Bottled Hearts," the queer Jewish Innsmouth story I just mentioned was recommended on NPR.
I am extra delighted.

Thank you! Being part of the opera made me very happy, and so does any continuing afterlife of it.

I feel like it! And look what else developed since the original version of this post!
(Silver-rated shininess is especially valid.)

I know that people often say that they are honored to be part of a project as a courtesy, but I'm really happy about this one.

Thank you! I don't think I have ever been part of a book with a slipcover—or signature sheets—before.

Thank you! I really love how all of the art came out, including the wraparound cover. Enjoy the Ig Nobels!

It is infinitely preferable and a harbinger of good things to come.

It goes both ways, fortieth most re-read author of the Lesbian Review!
And now you’re on NPR for your efforts and massive talent! As opposed to for our clattering, commingled remains being found in Weetamoo-Crustacean State Forest!
Oh, God, yes. We wouldn't even have been around to gawk at it on social media.
It is infinitely preferable and a harbinger of good things to come.
Thank you. Amen!

I have really never been part of an edition like this before and I really love it.
