January’s issue of The Deadlands includes my story “A Woman Is Screaming” – you can read it online now at Psychopomp!
Many thanks to guest editor Vajra Chandrasekera for choosing this story. I’m really honored. Vajra, as you probably already know, is a tremendous writer, author of The Saint of Bright Doors and Rakesfall.
A few people told me they got chills reading “A Woman Is Screaming.” And while the story begins and ends in a place of overt fear (unlike many of my stories), I hope you’ll dwell a bit on the journey there, on how a tragic event can occur in the first place, and how the residual effects may be forever unfolding.
I don’t have much news right now, having finally completed a novel I’ve been slowly developing over about three years. It’s a bit of a gay slasher, a bit of an anti-whodunnit, and full of the type of temporal and point-of-view shifts that make it a challenging read. I’m told the reward is equal to the challenge, however, (as I intended), so hopefully an agent or publisher I’ve sent it to will agree with that assessment soon. Light a candle or do a summoning circle for me, won’t you?
