today over at the Daily Cabal...
Today's story at the Daily Cabal is one of mine, a little slice of a somewhat creepy future. -
Return to the Labyrinth City
Just a quick note to mention that I've got a new piece up at the Daily Cabal.
It's a little geographical / historical snippet set in the same city as "The Labyrinth Tourist," which was in Flytrap a couple years back.
(And, as usual, there are plenty of other good stories in this week's offerings at the cabal.) -
New/old story online
In honor of International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day, I've posted my first published story, "The Moonless, the Midnight Eye, and the Season of the Last Gate" on my website. I'm a little early, since the official day isn't until tomorrow (Monday), but I know I'll be pressed for time tomorrow. I'll wait until the official day to put up a notice ( Read more... ) -
Interesting Fabio Moon quote
Picked up a copy of the March-April issue of World Literature Today -- lured in by the fold-out cover by Brazilian comics artist Gabriel Ba. Turns out, this is WLT's "Graphic Literature" issue, and it's full of interesting stuff. Including an interview with Ba and his brother, Fabio Moon, which contains this nifty quote:

new Rain Taxi(s)
I've been lax in spreading the word, but both the print and online editions of the Spring Rain Taxi are out.

subterranean jazz
Stumbled across some interesting music on MySpace -- a group called Dylan Howe and the Subterraneans, who are doing jazz versions of songs from David Bowie's Berlin period (the Low and Heroes albums ( Read more... ) -
assorted interesting links
Here are some of the things that have caught my eye around the web lately:
Found this article from the University of Sheffield about a partial recreation of a 13th century Arab automaton (actually the original version seems to have been four automatons playing musical instruments while floating in a boat.) (Found via the Da Vinci Automata blog, ( Read more... ) -
Bosch story now online
"Detail from a Painting by Hieronymus Bosch" is now online at Behind the Wainscot, along with a poem by Jason Ashbaugh, a flash piece by Alex Dally MacFarlane (which includes a zombified Humpty Dumpty and a magic carpet), and a story by E.C. Myers. As always plenty of cool stuff from the Farrago's Wainscot folks. (Speaking of which, I need to catch ( Read more... ) -
Even better than a fantasy book with a map...
...is an author website with an interactive map.
(Complete with the comic shop apparently frequented by the characters!)
