I was really torn for a minute there. Brett Savory put out word yesterday that the Table of Contents of Tesseracts 14, the next edition of the long-running Canadian sf anthology he’s co-editing with John Robert Colombo, will be revealed shortly. Because it is a big secret. Some time later, I got this… email from
I have been remiss, yard-apes. Tesseracts Thirteen, the anthology of fearful fables edited by Nancy Kilpatrick and David Morrell, has been out for a month, and it was only last week that I posted a sample of my story “The Radejastians” on The Devil’s Exercise Yard. When Tesseracts Eleven came out, I put up “Swamp
Actually, it’s been in bookstores for a little while unofficially. But now the first-ever terror-themed Tesseracts is officially out from EDGE Science Fiction and Fantasy Publishing. Editors of Tesseracts Thirteen are Nancy Kilpatrick and David Morrell, and contributors include me among others. There’ll be a launch in Toronto September 12; we already spoke of that,

But that’s all a matter of amateur speculation for now. In the meantime, there’s business for fanciers of professional speculation: the 2009 Aurora Award nominations are

Yesterday (Saturday November 29, ’08) at Bakka-Phoenix is when it happened, just as I predicted here, for Tesseracts Twelve. As promised, there were cookies, and books, and readings, and after that signings. Jill and Michael did not do a Sonny-and-Cher style duet, but no one seriously expected it. Right? Here are some pictures, courtesy of

… because the reviews of the all-novella-all-the-time anthology edited by Claude Lalumière and contributed to by me are lining up. So far, it’s two-for-two. This one, from SFRevu reviewer Colleen Cahill, is just as kind as the last one (see below). Read it here. Here’s what she said about my story, Wylde’s Kingdom: “David Nickle
