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 ashlyme for the title that sparked the painting. I miss walking its waterways.

Like the Greek Anthology for just one person? It'll never catch on.

It worked for Strato, speaking of that queer.
