- My favorite Onion piece in ages, on zombie preparedness.
- Christopher got his contributor copy of Hayakawa, the most prominent magazine of science fiction in Japan, which reprints "The Voluntary State" (or so we’re told; we can’t really prove it since we don’t know Japanese!). The illustrations are fabulous and I expect that C will scan them and stick them up soon. In the meantime, admire this illustration of Ted Chiang’s "Story of Your Life," then browse the other pieces of art for stories up on their site.
- Tobias Seamon has an essay at The Morning News, "The Green Ghost of Sleepy Hollow", sayeth the description: The Kinderhook area of New York is famously haunted. Though is it only by our own thoughts, or from something altogether different? Memories of home turn up the family spirits.(Via Colleen Mondor, who says Seamon’s work is worth seeking out.)
- Alan’s writing a novel. Yay!
- Beatrice hosts an author2author featuring Maureen McHugh and Sarah Willis: Pt 1 and Pt 2.
- Happy weekend.

The zombie link is good, but I think I marginally prefer Fire truck!
I’m insufferable, I know, but yes! Everyone seek out Tobias Seamon’s work! And start with his work at Strange Horizons, where we’ve published seven of his poems and one lovely short story.
In re Hayakawa verification: If you send me a photocopy I’ll see what I can do. It’d be worth going out and buying new copies of those big thick Japanese dictionaries I sold off when I moved from Japan to England.
