Very pleased to learn that Shadows & Tall Trees has made the British Fantasy Society Awards shortlist in the Magazine/Periodical category. Thank you to all my contributors.

The estimable Ellen Datlow on Shadows & Tall Trees. "Shadows & Tall Trees edited by Michael Kelly debuted in the autumn with a simply elegant digest-sized format and consistently good supernatural, ghost, and weird fiction...This looks to be the perfect magazine for aficionados of low-key horror. Bravo."

I've purchased Alison J. Littlewood's tale "The Pool" for issue 2 of Shadows & Tall Trees. With that, the issue is filled.

 I’ve purchased Steve Rasnic Tem’s haunting tale “Back Among the Shy Trees” for issue 2 of Shadows & Tall Trees.

This time tomorrow Carolyn and I will be on our way to the airport for a flight to Austin, Texas, where writers, publishers, agents, fans, and artists are congregating for World Horror 2011. Hope to see you.

 I have licensed the cover art for issue 2 of Shadows & Tall Trees. It's coming together.

 "Like mist creeping though a northern forest, this journal of the ghostly and ghastly will have you starting at sudden noises, and recoiling from half glimpsed faces in the shadows on the wall."

-- Laird Barron, author of Occultation, and The Croning (on Shadows & Tall Trees)
