Fun With Appalachia
8 Aug
Got some really exciting news last night (well, this morning technically, but I hadn’t been to bed yet so it counts as night… right?) My short story Poor Andrew Boyd will be in the new Graveside Tales anthology, Harvest Hill, edited by Douglas Hutcheson and Michael J. Hultquist!
The idea is awfully cool (which might explain why I was inspired in the first place). This from the duotrope.com blurb: “Harvest Hill, a little town in East Tennessee, seems like an idyllic place most of the year. But it is not always so, and especially not on Halloween–every Halloween. From just after midnight of Oct. 30 until midnight Oct. 31, horrors break loose both big and small. And this has been happening as far back as the 1500s.”
I picked 1781 as my Halloween of choice. American history meets creeptasticness meets Appalachia? How could I resist?
It looks like it’s going to be brilliant– the people at Graveside Tales are fantastic, and what I’ve read from the other authors in the Table of Contents (the ones I know so far!) is all above and beyond. I’m totally flattered and ecstatic and many other good adjectives to be there. So look for it around early October!
And I gotta send a shout out to Meghan Brunner and Jen St.Louis for the help on not just this one, but all of ‘em. Editors are pretty badass, if you hadn’t noticed.

YAY!!!!
And being an editor for you… oh, the pain. I am forced to read pages upon pages of amazingly awesome stuff that sucks me in every. single. time.
Oh please, let this torture end and return me to the paradise of vapid, poorly constructed fiction….
=P
CONGRATULATIONS!
