And when you see me, am I the specter on your glass?

I am extremely pleased to announce that my short story "Tea with the Earl of Twilight" has been accepted for reprint by The Year's Best Dark Fantasy & Horror: Volume Two, edited by Paula Guran and forthcoming from Pyr Books. It was originally published last fall in Nightmare Magazine #96; it was written in the late winter of 2020, right before the world closed down, and so like all hauntology it is filled with lost futures. Thank you again to [personal profile] ashlyme for the title that sparked the painting. I miss walking its waterways.

Congratulations! That's one of your best. You got so much more out of the title than I could ever have managed.

It's almost like --

-- and do hear me out on this --

your work is recognizably some of the best we're ever going to get?

Some people might want it all in one place. What's the word for that? It's a super compelling idea but it's just wandered off from my head. A collation? A numptybus?

It worked for Strato, speaking of that queer.
