Check out my story entitled “data-dump dummy’s error messages” (Featherproof Press, September 2009) with the likes of Brian Evenson, Matt Bell, Christopher Higgs, J.A. Tyler, Andrew Borgstrom, Elizabeth Ellen, Matthew Simmons, Marcus Whale,  Catherine Lacey, and Jon Cone in an ebook compilation of remixes of a Blake Butler story “Tour of the Drowned Neighborhood.” And please show Featherproof Press some love for the free download of this beautifully designed object.

I’ve just been asked to join the Identity Theory team as Assistant Fiction Editor. Please check out the website when you get a chance. And be sure to send your stories directly to me for consideration. I’m psyched!

It’s a jam-packed issue with me interviewing Thomas Cooper about Phantasmagoria, an excellent collection of fabulist and oddball short shorts. I also interviewed Tina May Hall about her exquisite All the Day’s Sad Stories. And Matt DeBenedictis interviewed James Iredell about his chapbooks. And then there’s seven reviews of great chapbooks by the likes of Andrew Borgstrom, Christina Hall, Michael Leong, Josh Maday, Ryan Manning, Alec Niedenthal, and  William Walsh.

And the rest of the issue is HERE.
