Woo-hoo! a big stack of the latest volume of Ben Templesmith’s Wormwood, Gentleman Corpse, arrived; it includes my introduction. Also, a new novel from “two talented young women–each only 20 years-old,” Jaida Jones and Danielle Bennett. It’s called Havemercy and begins:

He had no particular reason not to be–after all, it wasn’t his future upon which fell the shadow of impending arrest–and though I found that I could not look at him, neither did I begrudge him the repose.
