Ellen Datlow on COLD TO THE TOUCH

Though not official out until March, 2010, I've been able to see the contents of THE BEST HORROR OF THE YEAR VOLUME TWO, and in the summary Ms Datlow calls my second collection "quite powerful and dark".

For this, I thank her, and hope the next collection impresses her even more.

The book can be ordered from many retailers or from Night Shade Books directly. In it, along with the summary and some great stories, Ellen includes a short list of outstanding work that didn't quite make it into the pages (due to space or other considerations). I'll leave it to you, dear reader, to buy the book to see if one of my tales made the cut.
