Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry

And today's mail brought my contributor's copy of Last Drink Bird Head, which is kind of like a hardbound surrealist game. "Who or what is Last Drink Bird Head?" The same title applies to fictions by K.J. Bishop, Matthew Cheney, Michael Cisco, Rikki Ducornet, Hal Duncan, Caitlín R. Kiernan, Tanith Lee, Nick Mamatas, Sarah Monette, Holly Phillips, Tim Pratt, Ekaterina Sedia, Peter Straub, Michael Swanwick, Liz Williams, Gene Wolfe, and sixty-odd other writers, myself included; the envelope also held a lapel pin and a bright magenta feather, which I choose to take as a talisman rather than a threat. You have no excuse not to buy this book. All proceeds go to charity. Also, it will do things to your brain.
