As I’ve said on this blog before, I have an easier time writing an entire 100,000 word novel than I do a 5000 word short story. Short fiction is difficult for me and I don’t do it all that often. Which is why news like that which I received this morning tends to put a smile on my face.
Editor and anthologist extraordinaire Ellen Datlow apparently felt highly enough about my story “Becoming Michael” to give it an honorable mention in her Best Horror of the Year 2 anthology recently published by Night Shade Books. Originally appearing in the fourth volume of Inhuman Magazine, it was the one short story I wrote (and submitted) in 2005.
It’s always nice to be recognized, isn’t it?
Thanks Ellen!
