Bill Schafer breaks the news that Subterranean Magazine no. 8 -- the final print issue (although the magazine has already, for all intents and purposes, gone online for a year) -- is now available for preorder, "as it's out being designed, and will head to the printer shortly." This issue will debut my longest published fiction to date (at around 10K words), the mid-1800s Southeast Asian pirate clockpunk novelette "Bogeymen"; on the preorder page is the table of contents, and wowie wow am I in some damn fine company:

• "The Seventeenth Kind" by Michael Marshall Smith
• "Vale of the Blood Roses: a Tale of Noreela" by Tim Lebbon
• "Redemption Center" by R. Andrew Heidel
• "Bogeymen" by Jason Erik Lundberg
• "Why Do You Linger?" by Sarah Monette
• "Questions for a Soldier" by John Scalzi
• "Waltz with the Echoes" by Darren Speegle

I almost feel like singing, "One of these things is not like the other . . ."

John Scalzi just blogged the news as well, and was nice enough to mention me by name, rather than lumped in with "a bunch of other folks," which was surprising and flattering, mostly since my name isn't on the cover, and most of my fellow ToCmates are much more well-known. Thanks for the egoboo, Scalzi!
