pugs in flightI'm delighted to report that the long-awaited anthology of stories from my Gristle cli-fi parody contest, The Flesh Of Your Future Sticks Between My Teeth, is in press and will be released on September 10th of this year! (If you're new to this story, you can get the gory details here, here, here, and here.

TFOYFSBMTTwelve stories, all of them making merry mockery of the pretensions of the Grist cli-fi contest (now, gods help us, an annual festival of woke virtue signaling disguised as a science fiction anthology) to tickle your funny bone and annoy your self-important friends. It's being published by Looseleaf Publishing, well known to many of you as the firm behind the fine deindustrial sci-fi magazine New Maps. Preorders?  Here's the place. The cost is $16 plus shipping; Looseleaf wil ship worldwide, though you may have to contact the proprietor for details. 

Ah, but I need a little additional help to get this pug into the air. The publisher and I have agreed to spare a small number of review copies. One of those will be going to Grist Magazine, where it will doubtless elicit shrieks of outrage as it's being repeatedly flung against the wall. (One of the less impressive features of the current left is its remarkable inability to laugh at itself.) I'd like to arrange to send the others to bloggers, podcasters, and media outlets where somebody is likely to read it, chuckle, and post something about it. What say you, fellow pug pilots? Is there any venue you think would be a great place to send one of these for publicity purposes? Inquiring editors want to know.
