Oh, yes, we’ve heard that there was some celebrating of the holiday going on last weekend. That was not the real holiday. Today is the day Real Irish celebrate. Yes, you can still get in on it.
In honor of the holiday, we present a fine Irish tale set in the Crooked Man universe: The Bum’s Rush, by our own Edward Morris. Pour yourself a glass of the black stuff and come with us into the dangerous places…

I have a new favorite zombie story. I’m not sure I had a favorite zombie story before, but this one is now definitely my favorite: Edward Morris’s DEAD AIR on Tales of the Zombie War. Typical Ed Morris I’m-not-sure-it’s-okay-to-laugh-at-this stuff. Read at your own risk.

Edward Morris‘s astounding Death, Inc. is now complete on the website. If you’ve been following along each week, you can find the final installment here. To start at the beginning, go here.
In a genre that is all about alternate visions of reality, Ed’s vision is among the widest and deepest. This novella is a prime example of all the things that make him a writer to watch, and we’re proud to host it on the site. Though fully self-contained, it also serves as a wonderful introduction to the vision of his There Was a Crooked Man series, the first book of which you can see here. Enjoy!

With apologies for the delay (your delinquent editor just couldn’t get it together) Edward Morris’s mind-twisting Death, Inc. is moving forward again. This week’s installment is cleverly titled Side View: Machine Wash Warm, Tumble Dry. An absolutely classic tale in its own right, which could be read as a stand-alone. Check it out.

Further hilarity from Goddess of Slush Angela Still on Celebrities in Disgrace: “GLAMLOVE: Adam Lambert, What Have You Done to Me?”.
All this writing she’s been doing is clearly the reason she has turned in her “Intern” badge and is just reading the slush. Yeah, that and the MFA, and the day job…
I won’t complain, as long as I get to read her stuff.

After a period of communion with the Muse, Ed Morris emerged from the Dreaming Hut with the next installment of Death, Inc. and news–which he is not sharing, no not even with me–on how the rest of it will unfold. We will resume our usual Friday schedule this week.
Meanwhile, if you’re new to Death, Inc., this is a good place to start: with the intro on the THERE WAS A CROOKED MAN page of the website, which will lead you through the first ten installments.

Ed Morris’s tale continues to unfold this week, and our Assistant Coroner is still on the trail–and having trouble hearing critical details. What is this, inter-reality feedback? And I thought it was bad when the feedback was just electronic.
Read the latest here. Or, if you’re new to this particular flavor of reality, start here.
