Here's the latest bumper-size hardcover Postscripts anthology:
Postscripts #24/25 -The New and Perfect Man edited by Peter Crowther & Nick Gevers
(And I just noticed that Jack Dann and Barry N. Malzberg announced in May that they sold a story called "The Rapture" to Postscripts, and that this story includes an "angel that wears ill-fitting corduroy suits". Lucky for them that Postscripts doesn't have a dress code, though I'm suspicious about that 'ill-fitting' which usually means there's stuff in pockets that shouldn't be. I'm not accusing, mind you, but I've told my little innocent to make sure that their story doesn't take the cake.)

The Postscripts Drive-by: Nick Gevers
I have wanted a story of mine to be in Postscripts for many years, not just because of the company my little brat would keep, but because of PS Publishing—a heavenly publisher for several reasons.
- This is a brave and active publisher of exciting, unruly fiction, not me-too's—and is genuine quality, not up-itself pretension. They say 'genre' but I say 'piffle' to that label, as their definition is so broad.
- This is a wonderfully decent publisher to authors in a trade that is too often, indecent in the unfun extreme.
Finally, I don't know which issue of Postscripts "Marks and Coconuts" will appear in, but I will say, quite immodestly (with many thanks to two brilliant critics, Ben Peek and Richard Glatz), that it is a cracker of a story.
Very cool, Anna--congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeff. They are very cool. But your latest post in Quid plura? is, too. If you hadn't defined that "clutch of caudophagic dragons" as such, I would have thought they were tobacco deprived, or, this being New Orleans, maybe they were dying for praline, and being stuck to the wall, had to make do with themselves.
