It's official: my short story, 'Animal Husbandry,' will be appearing in the anthology <i>Grants Pass</i>, to be published in July 2009 by Morrigan Books. This anthology focuses on the world eighteen months after a man-made pandemic has killed, oh, practically everybody. (We're not quite talking <i>The Stand</i> levels of 'who dies? Everybody dies!' here, but we're definitely into 'game over, man, game over' territory.) The world's few survivors are staggering towards the promise of a safe haven, a meeting-place for the people who made it through alive.<br /><br />Grants Pass, Oregon.<br /><br />I don't know about the rest of the anthology, but I can promise you virology, corpses, and big buckets of creepy. Also, a chance to get your hands on my very first anthology appearance, which is going to be <i>awesome</i>. Remember, your purchase prevents my mother from acquiring more than six hundred copies, and thus saves me from being forced to kill her.<br /><br />Or, to announce this fantastic news in another way:<br /><br /><a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/seanan_mcguire/pic/0001gqq2"><img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/seanan_mcguire/pic/0001gqq2" align="center" height="100"></a><br /><br />Because nothing says 'holy shit, I sold a story!' like a comic strip full of corpses.<br /><br />PS: James Gunn needs to call me.
