My flash fiction "Last Drink Bird Head" is now included with five other stories of the same name as a supplementary web extra at Wonderbook Now, the companion site to Jeff VanderMeer and Jeremy Zerfoss' monumental Wonderbook: The Illustrated Guide to Creating Imaginative Fiction. Which is gigundous and amazing and includes things like the Prologue Fish. The website is pretty epic, too. Editor roundtable. Mexican wrestler monomyth. Different styles of dragons. Check it out!

Whew! “I will drink. I will eat. Let the mourners come up with him.”

“I will drink. I will eat. Let the mourners come up with him.”

I still really like how this piece came out, and I was incredibly pleased to be asked if it could be reprinted on the site. It probably is the closest I'm ever going to get to writing a full story about that particular characterization of either of those figures. (Other version of Geshtinanna appears in "Kouros" in Singing Innocence and Experience. I wish I were writing more prose. I wish I were sleeping more.)

And I missed this entry?

Congratulations!

And this anthology looks brilliant--[livejournal.com profile] wirewalking was mentioning it on FB. I like the prologue fish very much.

Congratulations!

Thank you! It made me very happy to be asked. I have no idea what the availability of Last Drink Bird Head itself is (I suspect it's out of print), but it was a terrific book.

And this anthology looks brilliant--wirewalking was mentioning it on FB. I like the prologue fish very much.

I've been following the progress and construction of Wonderbook through Jeff's various updates and it looks amazing. And not agonizingly expensive in proportion to the awesomeness of its content, which I really appreciate!

Yay!

It is something I am very glad to be part of.
