“Dead Horse Point”, which ran in Asimov’s in ’07, will be appearing in The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year, Vol. 2 — and the coolest thing is having my little boat of a story swamped by fictional goodness from some of my favorite writers. I mean, come on. Swanwick, Gaiman, Sterling? And stylists like Rickert, Link, and Ford? Plus a friend of mine, Ted Kosmatka, has a very cool story in here.
