Read These

During my recent visit to New York, I swung by the KGB Bar for the Featherproof / Two Dollar Radio reading with Christian TeBordo, Grace Krilanovich, Amelia Gray, and Lindsay Hunter, which was a total blast.  Though everyone threw down some stellar performances (Amelia screamed her selection from Museum of the Weird), Lindsay’s reading of “Let” has had its hooks in my brain ever since.  Natch, I immediately read Daddy’s upon my return and I’m telling you, get your face out your computer screen and go put it in Daddy’s.  LIke right now. This is the best collection of stories I’ve read in a long, long time.  You’ll see.

Shya Scanlon’s Forecast is just out from Flatmancrooked.  If you want a launch copy (signed by Shya, and including a postcard detailing his last acid trip), too bad for you ’cause they’re sold out, foo’!  Shya recently posted on Facebook that he sold 200 copies at a recent reading.  I was like, Did he have fireworks?  A pyrotechnics display?  Naked ladies?  Either way, you ought to get your paws on a copy of Forecast.  If any of the bits of it I’ve read online are any indication, it’s going to be pretty much amazing.  By the way, grab yourself a copy of trnsfr #2 for an excerpt from his next novel, Interference.
