Nice press!

I keep meaning to pitch an idea to the FANGORIA publishers... their sister magazine, GOREZONE, no longer published, was taking one horror story per issue. They need to do a collection anthology of those stories; there were some interesting (and later well known) authors represented there, back in the day.

And then there was also me! An example of a still not-so-well-known author. But the story they took from me was fun...

[ellen_datlow]

Yeah!
Our Tor publicist got us this one and we're very pleased.

I remember Gorezone.

I am so looking forward to picking this up -- there's a Books-A-Million right across the street from my hotel, and I was going to pick up the latest Realms of Fantasy tomorrow anyway for the Jay Lake story, so now I have two reasons to go!

I loved Nick's end quote to the Fangoria article, regarding why and when we see resurgences in Vampire and Zombie fiction.

[ellen_datlow]

Great--I hope you enjoy the book.

Vampire fiction has been around for centuries and isn't about to go away. I think every few years you've got one piece of vampire work that becomes a bestseller (Anne Rice, Stephenie Meyer) and someone picks up on its bestsellerdom and more writers than usual write vampire stories/novels to jump on the bandwagon. But they never had gone away in the first place.

Zombies? I personally have no idea. I think they're generally pretty boring as monsters with some exceptions. (I guess it's lucky Nick responded to that question in our interview :-) )

Good interviews. My copy of the book was just delivered; I'm looking forward to starting it tonight.

I'm glad to hear it's OUT!! I'll see a copy when I get home Saturday.
