"Phersu" in Niteblade #21, September 2012

And the nonfiction:

"It's Not, Quite Frankly, A Wholesome Situation: Dr. Seuss' The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T" in Weird Fiction Review (ed. VanderMeers and Angela Slatter), January 2012.
"But She Also Lies Broken and Transformed: An Afterword" in Confessions of a Five-Chambered Heart (by Caitlín R. Kiernan), August 2012.

I have evidence that both "The Color of the Ghost" and "A Find at Þingvellir" are now in print in the premiere issue of Archaeopteryx: The Newman Journal of Ideas, but as I have not yet received contributor's copies, I will not quite count them on my list for this year. I look forward, though. One of these is about Wittgenstein and the other Mjölnir.

And I seem to have ended up as the senior poetry editor at Strange Horizons. My co-editors are awesome.

Okay, that could have gone worse.

That would be neat.

It would be.

I imprinted on steam cars as a boy, I think because of a novel about two or three brothers who found a Stanley Steamer (or maybe a Doble?) in some family member's barn and restored it to working order. I can't remember the title or the author's name, but I do remember finding out that he lived in Mobile. My grandmother, God rest her, said that he was something of a local character, with a particular interest in reincarnation, and that she'd met him at some party or other. Immediately after they were introduced, she told me, he said "Oh, that's a lovely dress you're wearing. You've always liked that shade of blue; I remember you often wore it when we knew each other in Ur."

I know they're almost as stereotypical in alternate histories as zepplins, but I like steam cars. I'd love to have one, even though I'm not really much of a car person.

One only sees them nowadays in museums.

Indeed. I've not seen one in ages, even in a museum. Now I'm feeling nostalgic for the sort of museums I went to as a child. Ah, well.

Happy New Year!
