Tremendous gratitude to the amazing Jared Boggess who’s created this bullseye of a cover.  And I’d like to thank Derrick Hussey at Hippocampus Press for snagging this guy.  Do yourself a favor and get to know Boggess’s artwork—click over to his website:  www.jaredboggess.com.

One last thing:  the first review (that I’m aware of) for Ghouljaw and Other Stories is available on the Risingshadow website—click on the photo below to read the review:

WFR#4 - Cover

Friends:  just dropping by to change the sign on the ye olde billboard blog, announcing the release of Weird Fiction Review #4, edited by the estimable S.T. Joshi.  Here’s what Centipede Press has to say:

The Weird Fiction Review is an annual periodical devoted to the study of weird and supernatural fiction. It is edited by S.T. Joshi. This fourth issue contains fiction, poetry, and reviews from leading writers and promising newcomers. It features original stories and essays by J. C. Hemphill, Donald Tyson, Mark Fuller Dillon, Ann K. Schwader, Michael Washburn, James Goho; a lengthy interview with Patrick McGrath; an 8-page full-color gallery of art by Bob Eggleton; regular columns by Danel Olson and John Pelan and much more.

If you come by a copy, check out my story, “The Tell-Tale Offal,” a lurid little ditty about the squalid rivalries of young cooks.  As mentioned, this installment features a bevy of striking illustrations by Bob Eggleton.  Here’s a peak at the table of contents:
