KEEP PLANNING – Perry Ruhland

#031 – "Directions" by Perry Ruhland

and the forthcoming Cellar below the cellar—I do recommend everything Grimes!

I don’t know if it’s in this collection? but @spicycloaca.bsky.social’s “Pearlescent Tickwad” (in Strange Horizons) was one of my favorite stories of last year, so recommended!

Pandemonium Waltz in the mail today. They look fabulous. 17 stories, cover and inside cover art by Derek, and at the back I get grilled by Kelly Link. A beautiful job from Steve Berman and Lethe Press. A million thanks to Steve, Kelly and Derek. Up for presale now but will drop on February 15th.
