Howard Hughes and the War Against Morphological Tyranny

May 25, 2009 11:24

Bad insomnia last night. It was sometime after 4 a.m. before I found sleep, or it found me. This morning, I'm only pretending to be awake. It isn't working very well ( Read more... )

So you were born a day after Poppy and a day before Harlan. Hm. Eventful astrology this week for writers of dark fiction.

If you believed in astrology. Which you don't.

Yep.

Nope. Nor unicorns.

Or compassionate conservativism.

Or compassionate conservativism.

Or even "the erotica of abstinence."

"Maybe if I were a Mormon homophobe who used sparkly tales of necrophilia to peddle "the erotica of abstinence," they would."
That made my day. Imagine saying that to a bookstore-full of squealing sparkly adolescents at the release party of whatever piece of shit Stephenie Meyer churns out next...

I was very excited to get my copy of "Alabaster" a few days ago; it is a beautiful book. The illustrations complement your stories quite nicely.

Which reminded me to ask you: are there any plans for Sub Press to print a special edition of "The Red Tree?" They did such gorgeous work with "Tales of Pain and Wonder" and "A is for Alien" that I'd love to see them make another nice hardcover of your work.

Unfortunately, no. The sales figures on my novels (as opposed to short-story collections) aren't quite high enough that the sales from specialty press editions can't potentially impact them negatively. Subpress did a special edition of Low Red Moon, and Gauntlet did one of Silk, but there haven't been hardback editions of any of the others. Perhaps at some future date.
