Remember the Old Ones, my darling, my dear...

...remember the Old Ones. The Old Ones are here.

I am really delighted to be able to announce that I will be a part of the anthology The Gods of H.P. Lovecraft, edited by Aaron J. French and published by Journalstone Press. For this collection, twelve authors (including my darlings Jonathan Maberry and Rachel Caine) were approached and asked to write novelettes about the main deities of Lovecraft's world.

I got the Deep Ones.

My story, "Down, Deep Down, Below the Waves," is about grad students and experimental ethics and coming home, and I am very, very proud of it. The Gods of H.P. Lovecraft will be available in December 2015.

When the stars are right.

1) Yay!!!! And I shall have to order some in for the bookstore. And me, of course.
2) It makes me very happy that you and Jonathan Maberry are friends. He's one of the first authors I developed an acquaintanceship with and he and Sara Jo have never been anything short of lovely.

Cthulhu was a Great Old One.
Of him the maddened cultists sung:
his realm had non-Euclidity,
R'lyeh, sunk beneath the sea.

His face was octopoid and green,
and caused insanity when seen;
with rugose kin from heaven's field
and ichor-matter scarce-congealed.

But long ago he went away,
and what he dreameth none can say;
'til properly align the stars -
Cthulhu fhtagn! Ia!

You win everything ever. Beware of the Sea, indeed.

The ethics of experiments, or new and experimental ethics?

Both, really.

Yay! I read one of Lovecraft's anthologies years ago and enjoyed it, even if all the stories started to blur together after a while. I'll look forward to your take.

Also, I don't really do horror, but my love of your writing has led me to dip my toes in your Mira stuff. I read "The Day the Dead Came to Show and Tell" and now every time my five-year-old holds my hand, all I can think is "omg fomite traces!" I hope you're happy.

I am thrilled.

Just what I needed from you: more reasons to avoid deep water. I dread the day that someone approaches you to write something about bathtubs.

(Although between Slither and King's 'The Moving Finger', bathrooms are already kind of covered in the NOPE category.)

Looking forward to it! xoxo

That was my thought as well - great, now I have to be afraid of beaches as well as boats....
